The Essene Prayers of Communion
In the Essene Gospel of Peace, Jesus instructs the disciples to commune daily with Mother Earth’s angels and every night with the Heavenly Father’s angels.
The Practice
Saturday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother and pray:
‘The Earthly Mother and I are one. Her breath is my breath; her blood is my blood; her bone, her flesh, her bowels, her eyes and ears, are my bone, my flesh, my bowels, my eyes and ears. Never will I desert her, and always will she nourish and sustain my body.'
Saturday evening, bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Eternal Life and pray:
'Angel of Eternal Life, descend upon me and give eternal life to my spirit.'
And close your eyes, Child of Light, and in sleep contemplate the oneness of all life everywhere.
Sunday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Earth (Land) and pray:
'Angel of Earth, make the seed of my life fruitful, and with your power give life to my body.'
Sunday evening, bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Creative Work and pray:
'Angel of Creative Work, descend upon earth and give abundance to all the Children of Humanity.'
Monday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Life and pray:
'Angel of Life, enter with strength the limbs of my body.'
Monday evening, bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Peace and pray:
'Peace, peace, peace, Angel of Peace, be always everywhere.' Seek the angel of Peace in all that lives, in all you do, in every word you speak. For peace is the key to all knowledge, to all mystery, to all life.
Tuesday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Joy and pray:
'Angel of Joy, descend upon earth, pouring forth beauty and delight to all the children of the Earthly Mother and the Heavenly Father.'
Tuesday evening, bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Power and pray:
'Angel of Power, descend on me and fill with power all my deeds.'
Wednesday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Sun and pray:

'Angel of Love, descend on me and fill with love all my senses.'
Thursday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Water and pray:
'Angel of Water, enter my blood and give the Water of Life to my body.'
Thursday evening, bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Love and pray:
'Angel of Wisdom, descend on me and fill with wisdom all my thoughts.'
Friday morning, wake up to commune with the Earthly Mother’s Angel of Air and pray:
'Angel of Air, enter with my breath and give the Air of Life to my body.'
Friday evening (Sabbath), bring sleep as an offering of commune with the Heavenly Father’s Angel of Love and pray:
'The Heavenly Father and I are One.'
In the Essene tradition, the Heavenly Mother is Earth. She is God/Source/Sustainer of the body. The Heavenly Father is God/Source/Sustainer of the spirit. We are created out of their perfect loving union. She lives in and models perfect union between Creation and Source.
Jesus tells the disciples,
"It is by love, that the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother and the Son of Man (humanity) become one. For the spirit of the Son of Man was created from the spirit of the Heaven Father, and his body from the body of the Earthly Mother. Become, therefore, perfect as the spirit of your Heavenly Father and the body of your Earthly Mother are perfect. And so love your Heavenly Father, as he loves your spirit. And so love your Earthly Mother, as she loves your body. And so love your true brothers, as your Heavenly Father and your Earthly Mother love them. And then your Heavenly Father shall give you his holy spirit, and your Earthly Mother shall give you her holy body. And then shall the Sons of Men like true brothers give love one to another, the love which they received from their Heavenly Father and from their Earthly Mother; and they shall all become comforters one of another. And then shall disappear from the earth all evil and all sorrow, and there shall be love and joy upon earth. And then shall the earth be like the heavens, and the kingdom of God shall come.”
