Prayer

Silent prayer 

Followed by the audible repetition of the Lord’s Prayer with its spiritual interpretation by Mary Baker Eddy

​​

                 Our Father which art in heaven,     ​​​​​​​​​

Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,

Hallowed be Thy name.     

Adorable One.

Thy kingdom come.     

Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.     

Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.

Give us this day our daily bread;     

Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections;

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.     

And Love is reflected in love;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;     

And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.     

For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All.

Psalms 116:12, 16 (to ;), 17; 95:1–7 (to .); 29:11

116:12  What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

16O  Lord, truly I am thy servant;

17  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

95:1O  come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2  Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3  For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4  In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

5  The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6O  come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

7  For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

29:11  The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

Scientific Statement of Being

There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.

Correlative Scripture

I John 3:1–3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
