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

​​​​​​​​​​​​

I John 4:9

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

                                                                                    

                                                                    ​​​​​​​​

RESPONSIVE READING

​​​​​​​​​​​

Isaiah 49:13; 52:3, 13; 53:1, 3, 4 (to :), 5; Acts 3:26 God

Isa. 49:13   Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

52:3   For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

13      Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

53:1   Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

3         He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4        Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:

5        But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Acts 3:26    . . . God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

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.
