Responsive Reading: A Sacred Salute to the Mantled Ones

Clergy Appreciation Month 2025
By Supreme Grand Commanding Officer Sir Darrindel Johnson
Leader:
To the consecrated clergy of The Mystical Court—
To those mantled with humility and missioned with fire—
We rise in honour and solemn gratitude.
Congregation:
We bless those who serve with a towel, not a throne.
We honor those who labour in silence, yet shape eternity.
Leader:
You are the spiritual architects of this Order,
The interpreters of divine mysteries,
The guardians of sacred legacy.
Congregation:
You have preached when weary,
Led when misunderstood,
Loved when it cost you everything.
Leader:
And still, you rise—
Mantled, missioned, and marked by God.
Congregation:
We see you.
We celebrate you.
We stand with you.
Leader:
Let this month be a holy convocation of remembrance.
Let every name be honored.
Let every story be told.
Let every mantle be refreshed.
Congregation:
You are the heartbeat of this Order.
You are the pillars of our spiritual house.
You are not forgotten. You are not overlooked.
Leader:
May your families be strengthened.
May your ministries flourish.
May your legacy echo through generations.
Congregation:
We bless you with honour.
We surround you with love.
We walk with you in unity.
Leader:
With reverence and brotherly love,
I remain your servant in honour and unity.
All Together:
Amen. So let it be.
