Isn’t this wonderful? From Mary Baker Eddy’s Christian Healing:
The Lord’s Prayer, understood in its spiritual sense, and given
its spiritual version, can never be repeated too often for the benefit of all
who, having ears, hear and understand. (15:28-3)
It reminds me of a recent inspired
thought.
When I give my testimony at a
Christian Science Wednesday evening meeting about being brought to Christian
Science through the Christ (as I see it now), I often say something like, “I
attended Sunday School regularly at either Church of England (when it was
available where I was living at the time), or Methodist. I loved the simple
hymns of the Methodist church. But they never got through to me”, “they” being
all the Sunday School teachers. (There was no religious teaching in the home,
only the insistence that I attend Sunday School and, when I was old enough,
become confirmed and take communion.)
But I can see now that every Bible
truth spoken, every prayer prayed must have “not returned to me void.” I know
for sure that I was certainly taught The Lord’s Prayer. So, I am grateful for
every Bible quotation that has gone out from churches and individuals over the
many generations.
People have been blessed and are
being blessed and will be blessed by that holy book, the Bible. And as Mrs.
Eddy wrote, by The Lord’s Prayer.

read about how The Lord’s Prayer saved a writer from a potentially catastrophic
situation. See The Christian Science Journal December 2023, p. 42 Safe
and Sound with the Lord’s Prayer.
