In 1964 the Master Jesus inaugurated the “Watch with Me” Jesus’ Vigil of the Hours—a one-hour worldwide service of prayer, affirmation, and song for the protection of the Christ consciousness in every son and daughter of God. This service commemorates the vigil Jesus kept alone in the Garden of Gethsemane when he said: “Could ye not watch with me one hour?”

The Lord Jesus has called students of the Ascended Masters to give this Watch individually or in group action once a week, at the same time each week, so that at every hour of the day and night someone some-where is keeping the vigil.

Originally, a chart was kept at The Summit Lighthouse headquarters showing who had volunteered and to see to it that at no time would there be a vacancy in this unceasing watch for world peace and freedom.

The service was dictated by the Ascended Master Jesus Christ for the protection of the Christ consciousness in every son and daughter of God and in commemoration of the vigil the Master kept alone in the Garden of Gethsemane when he said: “Could ye not watch with me one hour?”

Jesus also asked us to renew our commitment to give his “Watch With Me” Jesus’ Vigil of the Hours, promising:

“I shall be in your midst, beloved, as you give this prayer service in my name weekly. You may give it alone, all-one with me, with the recording provided . . . It is my desire, then, that in fifty-two sessions with you, which I would like to be of ninety-minute duration (or more), you might experience such renewal and such self-transcendence at the conclusion of a single year’s Watch with me that you shall indeed know that I AM come into the earth to take my own in the grand ritual of the Resurrection and the Ascension.”

Part I of “Watch With Me” Jesus’ Vigil of the Hours includes the Three Potentials—the First Potential: You; the Second Potential: Expanded Awareness of Earth’s Evolutions; the Third Potential: The Call—followed by Part II The Guardian Action and Part III Thy Kingdom Come. The “Watch With Me” is a worldwide service of prayers, affirmations and hymns which Jesus has called upon Keepers of the Flame to give individually or in groups (see vol. 30 no. 56).

Available in 32-page booklet; on single cassette B83143; and with healing lecture on 2-cassette album “Physician, Heal Thyself!” (A83143).

"The so great a salvation you have been given, the Watch and the rosaries, all of the decrees that are so effective, must needs be given by you hour upon hour upon hour. Therefore, this being accomplished in the full fervor of the heart, you will come to know that your Presence and holiness is one and that your Presence is indeed all around you.

"Therefore, among some who have had this teaching short or long time, there is yet the absence of this sense. Blessed ones, there is a fervor that can be delivered in giving decrees and then there is a conversational tone whereby the heart is not engaged, the fire is not generated and the eyes wander about the room as the individual is not able to concentrate or even to focus on the words that are being repeated."

"Thus, in my profound love for my own and [for] all who are my own and know it not (for there are many of these who have been turned off by the present forms of Christianity), out of concern for all of every religion and every race and every nation who must emerge into their Christhood if they would survive the judgments, the chastisements coming upon the earth and the returning karma—I, Jesus, have sought and been given this dispensation [to be closer to my disciples and closer to the physical octave until the end of the age of Pisces], beloved, because I AM the heart and the life and the heartbeat of the age of Pisces.

As I began in the physical octave, so I finish as close as the Great Law does allow.

"But I tell you something, beloved, as you give your 'Watch With Me' and the new recording thereof infused with a greater power of sound and mantra and heart investment, you will enable me to come closer and closer in a vibratory action to the physical where some who are devoted to me may be more aware of me than they ever have been. Thus never has there been a time when the Watch has been more important.

"Beloved ones, I seek the healing, the healing of their minds and souls and hearts from the
deep grooves and the dyed fabric of consciousness where orthodoxy has been almost as the recitation of fairy tales time and again and over again until for sentimentality’s sake alone and not for salvation’s sake they are unable to surrender those things that they have been given since childhood when seated upon their father’s knee.

Therefore, beloved, understand that the surrendering of a lifetime of belief in a teaching that is incomplete in some cases and erroneous in others is not easy.

"Thus remember that the Wednesday evening service is a healing service. And I am accorded, therefore, the deference of Lord Lanto and the Chohans that there might now be given the rerecording of the Jesus’ Watch and a ninety-minute tape on the Fifth Ray of healing and science and in the All-Seeing Eye of God that those of you who desire to do so may complete your service of this Watch with the calls for healing—the healing of the entire Body of God upon earth, all seed of Light, especially the healing of [their minds and hearts of] false doctrine, the healing
of their bodies from all manner of impure substances whereby they are truly, desperately, physically ill and succumb to the maladies of the times and do pass on not having fulfilled even the best portion of their life’s mission.

"This, then, will be our Wednesday agenda any time [you can observe it] in the twenty-four hours. And if you have a heart and a desire to see these souls who are our own once and for all after these two thousand years come into the fold of the Great Shepherd, so I say, may you delight in this ritual.

"Blessed ones, your responsibilities are great. And therefore I would not so much compel you
as [I would] infuse you with my love and my compassion and the very healing flame that I desire to see you record so that you may be healed, so that you may take up the calling to be the strong ones who stand for the weak until they are able. As the Lord Maha Chohan, the great and holy one of God, [who wears the mantle of] the Holy Spirit, has said, “I AM keeping the Flame for you until you are able.”

And so Gautama Buddha has also said, 'I AM keeping the Flame for you until you are able.'

"Realize, then, beloved, that you are in that position this day. You can be Simon the Cyrenian. You can bear the cross of world karma with me and for me and for my own as you do each and every time you offer calls to the violet flame."

"For the Wednesday night service is also a very intense action of the Divine Mother. And you would do well to pick up and accelerate your calls, for the emerald ray of Truth does indeed penetrate the astral plane and there is an excellency in our troops and legions working with the blue-ray, the violet, and the purple legions of Light."
