Governments around the world are working to figure out when and how to loosen restrictions placed on citizens and businesses in response to COVID-19. At the same time, people are wondering what life will be like. Will things get back to normal? Will there be a new normal? Different communities will find different answers to these questions, but God’s love ensures a way forward for everyone.

Progress is at the heart of the June issue of The Christian Science Journal, with contributors from around the world sharing ideas that have led to betterment in their lives and communities.

This month’s feature, “Are you a spiritual entrepreneur?” by Nathan Talbot, looks at some of the spiritual qualities that are vital for the success of any business, whether it’s a one-man operation just getting (back) off the ground or a large corporation that was established decades ago. In the interview “Christ-healing—expect a transformation of thought and body,” David Kennedy, Rita Polatin, Rudolf Meyer, and Tony Lobl explore the deep and permanent mental and physical effects we can all experience when we see ourselves in the light of God’s love: spiritual, healthy, and whole, not limited by matter-based expectations. As the world reckons up the economic costs of COVID-19 in terms of wages, business, and opportunities lost, the article “ ‘All figures are drawn on infinity’ ” by Barbara Cook Spencer presents a metaphysical foundation of abundance from which we can counter claims of loss and see that God has already lovingly provided the resources needed for an economic recovery that benefits everyone. Of course, God’s provision also includes the intelligence to meet and master unexpected challenges, as we read in “God’s infinite intelligence, right at hand” by Jerônime Atchedo. And if the need for continued spiritual growth seems daunting at times, Scott Preller’s editorial, “The joy of learning you were wrong, and the duty to keep learning truth anew,” explores the liberation and joy that come with moving beyond outdated concepts—and testing, proving, and defending what we’re learning today and every day.

Because the path of progress is provided by God’s love, nothing can stop us from seeking it, finding it, and following it.
