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.

RESPONSIVE READING

​​​​​​

Psalms 96:1, 2, 6, 9 (to :); 34:3, 8, 12, 17, 22; 36:7–9 (to :)

96:1O   sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2   Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

6   Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

9   O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:

34:3   O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

8   O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

12    What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

17    The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

22    The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

36:7  How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.

8   They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

9   For with thee is the fountain of life:

Hymn 437:

All my hope on God is founded;

​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​

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.
