Life, and Love be established in me, and rule out of me all sin; and
may Thy Word enrich the affections of all mankind, and govern them.
Manual p.41*
A Rule for Motives and Acts. Neither animosity nor mere personal
attachment should impel the motives or acts of the members of The
Mother Church. In Science, divine Love alone governs man; and a
Christian Scientist reflects the sweet amenities of Love, in rebuking
sin, in true brotherliness, charitableness, and forgiveness. The
members of this Church should daily watch and pray to be delivered
from all evil, from prophesying, judging, condemning, counseling,
influencing or being influenced erroneously. Manual p.40
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Matthew 6: 9-13
( with spiritual interpretation from Science and Health)
Our Father which art in heaven,
Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious,
Hallowed be Thy name.
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 fromevil;
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
Alertness to Duty. It shall be the duty of every member of this
Church to defend himself daily against aggressive mental suggestion,
and not be made to forget nor to neglect his duty to God, to his
Leader, and to mankind. By his works he shall be judged,--and
justified or condemned. Manual p. 41
The 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.
Science and Health p. 468:9
The Sixth Tenet. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that
Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as
we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.
Science and Health p. 497:24
