Liturgy of Divine Wisdom - The Gnostic Eucharist

Sunday, October 7, 2012
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
150 W 28th St., #303, in Manhattan

Join us for the celebration of the Gnostic Eucharist, the Liturgy of Divine Wisdom. Based on traditional liturgies, and drawing from Gnostic scriptures, the rite commemorates the fall, exile, and redemption of Sophia and the journey of the individual seeker moving from the Kenoma, the world of illusion and separation, to the Pleroma, the state of union and illumination.

All are welcome to participate and receive communion.

Sophia, by Mary Plaster

"I address myself to you because you are my friend,
my servant and the prelate of my Albigensian Church.
I am exiled from the Pleroma, and it is I whom Valentinus named Sophia-Achamôth.
It is I whom Simon Magus called Helene-Ennoia;
for I am the Eternal Androgyne.
Jesus is the Word of God;
I am the Thought of God.
One day I shall remount to my Father, but I require aid in this;
it requires the supplication of my Brother Jesus to intercede for me.
Only the Infinite is able to redeem the Infinite,
and only God is able to redeem God.
Listen well:
The One has brought forth One, then One.
And the Three are but One: the Father, the Word and the Thought.
Establish my Gnostic Church.
The Demiurge will be powerless against it.
Receive the Paraclete."

The Valentinian Restoration - "Restoration of the Gnosis"

Today is the commemoration of Restoration Day, the day when the Assembly of the Pleroma was founded by Jules Doinel with the mandate of Sophia Achamoth and the Aeon Jesus.

Praying the Gnostic Rosary

New!

The Order of the Recitation of the Gnostic Rosary
(The Rosary of the Pneuma Hagion)

Part of a new series of praxis-oriented booklets from the AGC.

An easy-to-use guide to praying the Gnostic Rosary, a contemplative practice using meditations from the Nag Hammadi codexes and related texts and from the Gnostic Church of Jules Doinel, Tau Valentin II.


From the introduction:

The Holy Rosary of the Pneuma Hagion is a contemplative  Gnostic method of prayer. With the Holy Rosary we meditate the mysteries of the Gnostic story:  the Silence of the Ineffable One, the emanations of the Aeons of the Pleroma, the fall and redemption of Sophia, the incarnation of Jesus the Divine Soter, the maturity of the pneumatic seed, and the Bridal Chamber.  The prayers and meditations are taken from the Nag Hammadi library and related texts as well as the Catechism of the Gnostic Church by Jules Doinel, Tau Valentin II.

In meditating on the mysteries, we create a space for the Holy Spirit to reveal these mysteries to and in us in a profound way.  Just as importantly, you are joining your prayers to those of Gnostics, saints, and angels who are  interceding for the perfection of the pre-existing ekklesia and the restoration of all things.
