Teach Us To Pray

"Our Father in the Heavens;
"Your Name must be being hallowed;
"Your kingdom must be being restored;
"Your will must be being done, both in Heaven and upon the Earth.
"Give us to-day our to-morrow's bread;
"And forgive us our faults, as we forgive those offending us, for You would not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from its evil." Charles Fillmore repeatedly referenced the Ferrar Fenton translation of the Bible. Perhaps the most unique and striking translation is Fenton's translation of the Lord's Prayer, which was referenced by Charles and Cora Fillmore in the Forward to Teach Us To Pray.

You owe nothing to this world, and you have nothing to give this world. You owe nothing to your patients or your students. You owe nothing to The Infinite Way.
You owe to yourself one deep debt, and you’re never going to be out of that debt. You owe it to yourself to make your God contact, and to maintain it, and to see that you make it every day of the week, and that you maintain it every day of the week. That is your function in life; make that God contact and keep it.
And so I say to you that first of all, realize that you have one supreme duty that is, as a student of The Infinite Way, and that supreme duty is to make and maintain your spiritual contact with God.
Had there been no Mrs. Eddy, we don’t have any evidence that there ever would have been a spiritual healing ministry on earth today. True, mental healing began with Mr. Quimby. True, there was a Dr. Evans and a several others of his students that started doing a little work, but probably most of you don’t even know that.
Christ realized destroys material sense. Christ realized changes the whole picture in individual life.
Realize Christ.

Every time I give something away, what comes back to me is freedom.
I allow the whole world to enter the space that had been filled by my
possessions. When I gave away possessing, I gained the whole world. Byron Katie excerpt of
