The Goodwill Festival of Unification

Celebrating the Spirit of Humanity

Since 1952 the full moon of Gemini-Sagittarius has been observed as World Invocation Day ~ a world day of prayer when people of every spiritual path join in a universal appeal to divinity through use of The Great Invocation. Together they focus the invocative demand of humanity for the light, the love and the spiritual direction needed to build a world of justice, unity and peace.

On the day of the Goodwill full moon, groups and individuals are invited to hold a meditative focus and for 24 hours, to sound The Great Invocation on the quarter hour over a period of time while spending the 15 minute interval in prayer or meditation focusing on goodwill and building the will to good.

The Great Invocation, given to humanity in 1945, is an integral part of the three Spiritual Festivals of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. The massed intention reaches its highest point each year during the period of the three major planetary Festivals ... at The Festival of the Risen One in Aries and celebrated in the Western part of the world as Easter; a month later at The Festival of The Wesak, The Festival of The Buddha and widely celebrated in the Eastern world; and climaxes a month after that, with World Invocation Day during The Goodwill Festival, known as The Festival of The Christ, with the keynotes of Goodwill and Humanity.

2020 marks the 75th anniversary of The Great Invocation we use

(first version, given in 1936)

World Invocation Day has three central features:

First, the use of The Great Invocation, the world prayer which expresses truths central to all the major religions of the world.

Second, the spiritual cooperation of people of goodwill of every faith, joining in a united act of invocation of Divinity.

Third, the distribution into human consciousness of the spiritual energies evoked during The Easter and Wesak Festivals.

Will you join us in observing World Invocation Day through the united use of The Great Invocation, and will you help to make this day widely known?
