The Daily Prayer
'Thy kingdom come'; let the reign of divine Truth, 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!
From Church Manual of The First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts
By Mary Baker Eddy
The Tenets of
Christian Science
1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life.
2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness.
3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.
4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death.
5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter.
6. 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.

A Hymn
Written by Mary Baker Eddy
It matters not what be thy lot,
So Love doth guide;
For storm or shine, pure peace is thine,
What e'er be tide.
And of these stones, or tyrants' thrones
God able is
To raise up seed- in thought and deed
To faithful His.
Aye, darkling sense, arise, go hence!
Our God is good.
False fears are foes- truth tatters those
When understood.
Love looseth thee and lifteth me
Ayont hate's thrall:
There Life is light, and wisdom might
And God is All.
The centuries break, the earthbound wake
God's glorified!
Who doth His will- His likeness still
Is satisfied.
