Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.


I heard one Voice because I understood that I could not atone for myself alone. Listening to one Voice implies the decision to share It in order to hear It yourself. The Mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind created by God, because God’s Wholeness is the Wholeness of His Son. You cannot be hurt, and do not want to show your brother anything except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot hurt you and hold nothing against him, or you hold it against yourself. This is the meaning of “turning the other cheek.” T-5.IV.4:1-6

Once one recognizes that one is part of the Oneness then nobody and nothing can hurt you. The body can be attacked but not the Spirit. If God is with you or better said, if you are with God, who can be against you?


In Unitarian Universalism we join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and the encouragement to spiritual growth. One of the ways of encouraging this growth is to demonstrate that nothing can hurt me without my cooperation. Jesus said as he was being crucified, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”


Today, it is suggested that we forgive others for their attacks and rise above it knowing that we can always give up the ego and join the Oneness.
