silent unity

In Unity we see prayer not as a way to change God - for God is constant and unchangeable - but as a way for us to open our hearts and minds to all of the good that God is continually providing for us.

Are you in need of help?  Write to us, "Dear Silent Unity..."  Even as you write the words, you will feel the silent unity of love, the silent unity of those who pray together, the silent unity of God and God's children, the silent unity of spirit that is Silent unity.  Even as you write the words, in your heart and mind the light will begin to glow.

24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

If some night you come to Unity Village, the lights would be like blazing pools.  There are lights at the entrance, in the Tower, in the Administration building, on the bridge across the mirror pool, and around the patio outside Unity Inn.  But there is one light that you would not want to overlook.

This is the light that shines form windows in the Silent Unity building.  This light is significant, for this is the light in the room where Silent Unity keeps the vigil of prayer.  For over one hundred years someone in Silent unity has been in prayer.  In the early morning, throughout the day, through the dark hours of the night, week in, week out, month following month, through years of war and peace, through depression and prosperity, for over one hundred years - prayer!  Every half hour throughout the day the Silent Unity workers, one after another, go into the Prayer Vigil Chapel to pray alone.  At night the spiritual vigil goes on in the room where the light is kept shining.

are you in need of help?:

There is a light that shines for you.  Wherever you are, whatever your need, you can stop into this light.

Do you need peace?  The light floods your mind, the light of the Christ mind.  It penetrates into cobwebby corners; it unravels knotty tangles; it shows the way to go; it brings order and wisdom.

Do you need health?  The light shines in your body, the warm light of life, the vitalizing light of Spirit.  It suffuses the cells, it bathes the tissues.  In its life-giving glow, your body is revealed as a temple of light, a temple of the living God.

Do you need prosperity?  The light illumines you and reveals new opportunities, invisible avenues of supply.  It discloses rich ideas that you can use; it gives you a sense of security in which you have the courage to step forward; it lights the steps for you to take.

Do you need harmony?  The light radiates through every area of your life.  It shines on misunderstandings, and they are dissolved.  It shines on complications, and they are settled.  It shines on seeming emptiness and reveals beauty and joy.  This is the light of understanding, the light of "silent soul communion," the light of Christ compassion.

Do you have dear ones who need help?  Your love lifts them into the light.  Your prayers lift them into the light.  In the light of the omnipresence of God, needs are met.

Are you in need of help?

There is a light that shines for you.

You need never be alone-not even on the darkest night.  Silent Unity is no farther from you than a prayer.

In a room of a building in Unity Village where the light is shining, someone is praying - someone with a spirit kindred to your own, someone whose thoughts reach out to you in faith, someone whose heart reaches out to you in love.  The light shines for you.  The light in this heart shines for you.

Silent Unity is as the Christ light, lit in the window of the world.  If you are a traveler on the road of prayer, this light shines for you.
