A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 288.
Let me forget my brothers and my sisters past today.
Father,
This is the thought that leads the way to you and brings me to my goal.
Father,
I cannot come to you without my brothers and sisters.
Father,
To know my source,
I must first recognize those that you created,
One with me.
Father,
My brother's hand and my sister's hand are the hands that lead me on the way to you.
Father,
The sins of all my sisters and brothers are in the past,
Along with mine.
Father,
I am saved because the past is gone.
Let me not cherish the past within my heart,
Or I will lose the way to walk to you.
Father,
My brother is my savior.
My sister is my savior.
Let me not attack the saviors you have given me.
Father,
Let me honor the one who bears your name,
And so remember that it is my name as well.
Forgive me then,
Today.
You will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brothers and your sisters in the light of holiness.
Your brother cannot be less holy than I.
Your sister cannot be less holy than I.
You cannot be holier than them.
Let me forget my brother's and sister's past today.

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
