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.

Statement from the Alexandrian Gnostic Church on the Colorado Theater Massacre

Today we were horrified and deeply saddened by the news of the massacre in Aurora, Colorado.

As of this writing, 12 people are reported to be dead, and 50 injured. Our hearts and prayers go out to those impacted by this senseless act of random violence

We ask all people of good will to join us in prayer for all who were involved in this tragedy: those who were wounded and killed, the families of the victims, the community of Aurora, and the accused shooter and his family.  We pray that they may be comforted by the One whom the Apostle called the Father of Mercies and God of all comfort.

As this tragedy drives us to  prayer and reflection, and as we prepare to celebrate the Eucharist this weekend, these words from our Liturgy of Divine Wisdom seem particularly timely:

Aeon Jesus, Prince of Peace,
Proclaim to us your holy gospel,
Announcing the healing of the nations,
Calling ever tongue, tribe, and nation to promote peace.
Reveal Your compassion in us,
So that we might act justly, love mercy and walk humbly.
Amen.

In the name of the unknown Father of all,
by Aletheia, the Mother of all,
by the name which descended upon Jesus,

Tau Thomas Valentinus
Catholicos of the Alexandrian Gnostic Church
