O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together!” (Psalm 34:3)

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:17,18

Human affection is not poured forth vainly, even though it meet no return. Love enriches the nature, enlarging, purifying, and elevating it. The wintry blasts of earth may uproot the flowers of affection, and scatter them to the winds; but this severance of fleshly ties serves to unite thought more closely to God, for Love supports the struggling heart until it ceases to sigh over the world and begins to unfold its wings for heaven. S&H 57:22

Oh Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Psalms 8.

If sin, sickness, and death are as real as Life, Truth, and Love, then they must all be from the same source; God must be their author. Now Jesus came to destroy sin, sickness and death; yet the Scriptures aver, " I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Is it possible, then, to believe that the evils which Jesus lived to destroy are real or the offspring of the divine will? Science & Health: 474: 16-23

Happy Easter, Everyone! We celebrate Jesus' victory over the grave!

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

Whatever inspires with wisdom, Truth, or Love-be it song, sermon, or Science-blesses the human family with crumbs of comfort from Christ's table, feeding the hungry and giving living waters to the thirsty. Science & Health 234:4-8

The prominent laws which forward birth in the divine order of Science, are these: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me;” “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” These commands of infinite wisdom, translated into the new tongue, their spiritual meaning, signify: Thou shalt love Spirit only, not its opposite, in every God-quality, even in substance; thou shalt recognize thyself as God's spiritual child only, and the true man and true woman, the all-harmonious “male and female,” as of spiritual origin, God's reflection, — thus as children of one common Parent, — wherein and whereby Father, Mother, and child are the divine Principle and divine idea, even the divine “Us” — one in good, and good in One.
(Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 18:8)
