The www.intuition-in-service.org
website
used to have an article that stated the Revised form of the Great
Invocation was issued in the meditation outlines for the UN Days & Years
Initiative in March, 2000:
The meditation outlines for the UN Days & Years Meditation
Initiative all conclude with The Great
Invocation. This is a world prayer
translated into around 70 languages and dialects and used by people
of goodwill world-wide to invoke the light, love and spiritual
direction needed to create right relationships on earth.
Two Versions
The original version of The Great
Invocation was written in 1945, at
a time when the words 'man' and 'men' were universally used in a
generic sense to refer to all humanity. An alternative, revised
version (replacing 'men' with 'human' and using the inter faith term
'the Coming One' in place of
Christ - see below) was issued in March 2000. In the meditation
outlines for the UN Days & Years Meditation Initiative it is this
revised version which we have used. Both versions are featured
below.
May Christ return to Earth
Many religions believe that a World Teacher will return to earth,
knowing this Coming One by such names as Christ, The Lord Maitreya,
the Imam Mahdi and the Messiah. The original version of the
Great
Invocation included the line 'May Christ return to Earth' at
the conclusion of the second stanza, but added a statement to say
that other faith versions of the Great
Invocation referred to
the Coming One by the name most
commonly used in that religion. The revised version affirms the
inter-faith spirit of this prayer in the
invocation 'May the Coming One
return to Earth' - adding a note that some of the Christian, Hindu,
Muslim, Buddhist and Jewish versions of the
Great
Invocation use the names Christ, Lord Maitreya, Imam Mahdi,
and Messiah.
The Great
Invocation
Original version 1945
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth

Note: Although the www.intuition-in-service.org's
removed article claimed the word "Christ" was changed to "the Coming
One" in the year 2000, the www.souledout.org website posted earlier versions of The Great Invocation that
tell a different story. According to this site the term, "the
Coming One" and "death" was used in the 1940 version of The Great Invocation. Death is an
integral part of
The
Plan to bring in a One World Government and One world religion.
The
Great Invocation (1940)
Let the Lords
of Liberation issue forth.
Let them bring succour to the sons of men.
Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth,
And coming, save. Come forth, O Mighty One.
Let the souls
of men awaken to the light.
And may they stand with massed intent.
Let the fiat of the Lord go forth: The end of woe has come!
Come forth, O Mighty One.
The hour of service of the saving force has now arrived.
Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One.
Let Light and
Love and Power and Death
Fulfill the purpose of the
Coming One.
The WILL to save is here.
The LOVE to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad.
The ACTIVE AID of all who know the truth is also here.
Come forth, O Mighty One, and blend these three.
Construct a great defending wall.
The rule of evil NOW must end.
