One Grand Brotherhood   2 comments

Giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p79: 31)

God gives the lesser idea of Himself for a link to the greater, and in return, the higher always protects the lower. The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother’s need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another’s good.

(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p518: 13)

Prayer for the World   1 comment

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Be of One Mind   1 comment

… be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Be of the same mind one toward another. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

(The Bible – KJV: Romans 12: 2, 10, 16, 18)

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

(The Bible KJV – Matthew 5: 9)

Though storm or discord cross my path
Thy power is still my stay,
Though human will and woe would check
My upward-soaring way;
All unafraid I wait, the while
Thy angels bring release,
For still Thy presence is with me,
And Thou dost give me peace.

(Christian Science Hymnal 136 V2)
