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.

GOLDEN TEXT

Psalms 35:11

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

RESPONSIVE READING

​​​​​​​​​​​

Psalms 119:89, 114, 117, 128 I esteem; 101:7; Proverbs 3:1–8, 13, 21, 22

Ps. 119:89  For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

114  Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

117  Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

128  . . . I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

101:  7He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Prov. 3:1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments;

2    For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3    Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4    So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5    Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6    In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7    Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

8    It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

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.

From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, p.468, line 9

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.
