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

Luke 10:23 Blessed

. . . Blessed are the eyes which see the

things that ye see:

​

RESPONSIVE READING

Il Kings 6:8 the, 9, 11, 12, 13 And it, 14 (to :), 15-17

8 . . . the king of Syria warred against Israel,

and took counsel with his servants, saying,

In such and such a place shall be my camp.

9. And the man of God sent unto the king

of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not

such a place; for thither the Syrians are

come down.

11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria

was sore troubled for this thing; and he

called his servants, and said unto them, Will

ye not shew me which of us is for the king

of Israel?

12 And one of his servants said, None, my

lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is

in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words

that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

13  . . . And it was told him, saying, Behold,

he is in Dothan.

14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and

chariots, and a great host:

15 And when the servant of the man of

God was risen early, and gone forth, behold,

an host compassed the city both with

horses and chariots. And his servant said

unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we

do?

16 And he answered, Fear not: for they

that be with us are more than they that be

with them.

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray

thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And

the Lord opened the eyes of the young

man; and he saw: and, behold, the

mountain was full of horses and chariots of

fire round about Elisha.

Master And Lord, 'Tis Good To Be Here,

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.
