 Three Candle Acolyte Service

(Revised 12/01*)

All hail to thee, thou all-pervading light of the Cosmos, the One Universal Consciousness of life I AM! In recognition of this great Light, we now draw forth the full expression of the immortal threefold flame within our hearts, representing the threefold activity in all life, as exemplified by these physical flames:  

(Light one candle for each statement.)

I AM the essence of the Splendor and Grace of God's Will!  

I AM the essence of the Ascendancy of Illumined Wisdom!  

I AM the essence of the ever-evolving Simplicity of Divine Love!

(When all candles are lit - continue) 

Oh Light Supreme, we acknowledge thee in all life. Grateful for the gift of your ethereal radiance, we now invite all cosmic and ascended beings of light, the great angelic host and all members of the elemental kingdom to come forth and assist us in increasing and strengthening the energy which we draw forth in our service today. May this unified light expand, expand and eternally expand as it travels throughout the universe in fulfillment of thy will I AM!

Closing Acolyte Service

(Revised 12/01*)

Blessed flames, expression of the light essence of the Great I AM, we thank you for your compassionate recognition and manifestation. Enfolded always in the gratitude of our hearts, return now to the Great Silence, to be again called forth by humanity, for the purpose of intensifying the Light, Love and Blessings of the One Universal Consciousness throughout infinity!

We acknowledge and accept the oneness of all life and in humility; we vow to serve forever as pulsations in the Body of Light, I AM that I AM!

So be it, beloved I AM. 

(*The revised three candle Acolyte Service was used for the first time in the Angel Room Sanctuary at Shamballa on 12/31/01 at 11: 15 pm for the New Year's Conference Midnight Service and will be officially used by The Bridge to Spiritual Freedom for all services requiring three candles from this point forward.)
