The Lord's Prayer

We are all the children of God. We all can understand what Christ Jesus meant in this prayer, and pray as we know he prayed. 

It is not a ritual chant or a formalized request. He prefaced his sample prayer by telling us to remember that our divine Father-Mother knows all already, so the prayer is not to inform God or ask for things, since we already have all things that constitute the divine Being. Instead, our prayer acknowledges our real relationship.

Each time we speak to our divine Father-Mother, we speak from who we are, the children of the divine purpose. We thereby renew the power of understanding our real wholeness. We can say this prayer without words.

At every occasion we can use the progression of statements in this prayer to fruitfully explore the infinity of Good that is within us, and in that understanding be lead away from the temptations of sin, disease, and death. It is helpful, as illustrated by Mary Baker Eddy in her Spiritual Interpretation of the Lord's Prayer, to elaborate the meaning of each conceptual statement for our immediate situation.
