In the name of the Unknown Father, in Truth, Mother of all,
in union and redemption and sharing of the powers,
peace to all on whom this name reposes.
I acknowledge one great invisible God,
unrevealable, unmarked, ageless and unproclaimable;
the unknown Father,
the Aeon of the aeons,
who brought forth in the silence with his Providence:
the Father, the Mother, and the Son.
I acknowledge the Christos, the self-begotten living Son,
the glory of the Father and the virtue of the Mother,
who given birth from the virginal and ineffable Mother,
was made incarnate,
the Perfect one.
Who in the word of
the Great Invisible God,
came down from above to annul the emptiness of this age
and restore the fullness to the Aeon.
I acknowledge the Holy Spirit, the Bride of the Christos,
the Mother of the Aeons, the great virginal and ineffable
Mother
Who proceeded from Herself a gift of Herself
out of the silence of the Unknown God.
I acknowledge the Light of the one church in every place:
Interior, Invisible, Secret and Universal,
the foundation of the lights of the great living God.
I seek liberation of my perfection
from the corruptions of the world
and look to the gathering of the sparks of Light
from the sea of forgetfulness.
Amen.
Almighty God, whose footstool is the highest firmament:
Great Ruler of Heaven, and all the powers therein:
Hear the prayers of Thy Servants, who put their trust in Thee.
We pray Thee, supply our needs from day to day:
command Thy heavenly host to comfort and succor us:
That it may be to Thy glory and unto the good of man.
Forgive us our transgressions as we forgive our brothers and sisters:
be present with us: strengthen and sustain us:
For we are but instruments in Thy hands.
Let us not fall into temptation: defend us from all danger and evil:
Let Thy mighty power ever guard and protect us.
Thou great fount of knowledge and Wisdom:
Instruct Thy servants by Thy holy presence:
Guide and support us, now and forever.
Amen.
Hail Sophia, full of light, the Christ is with thee,
blessed art thou among all the aeons,
and blessed is the liberator of thy light, Jesus.
Holy Sophia, Mother of all gods,
pray to the Light for us thy children,
now and in the hour of our death.
Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
unto the Aeons of Aeons.
Amen.
