Testimonies of Healing

I am most grateful for protection during the coronavirus pandemic. In late February 2020, my wife and I visited Venice for carnival.

Late last summer during an extremely hot and humid afternoon, I noticed that my front garden needed to be watered. In spite of encouragements in news reports to stay indoors, and thinking only about the plants, I proceeded outside to water them.

I began playing volleyball year-round starting in middle school. I took much joy in the sport, partly because I realized that it was a way to express God-given qualities.

Following a long journey from my home in Montevideo, I arrived in the Lunarejo Valley, in the northern part of Uruguay, with a group of fellow hikers. I was looking forward to being able to participate in a hike with them the following day in this scenic part of the country.

For about thirty years I felt chained down by the fear of speaking among peers and in large areas. This fear was debilitating, to the point that I would have extreme physical reactions to even the thought of speaking in front of others.

Company was visiting. It was summer, and we went cherry-picking.

Since I was introduced to Christian Science as a twelve-year-old, I have repeatedly experienced the grace of God, who is infinite Love. I very quickly believed and felt the truth of what the first chapter of the Bible says: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; .

For a few weeks every summer, my children go to a camp for Christian Science Sunday School students. It’s always a joyful time for them to be outside, learn a new outdoor skill or sport, and spend time with friends.

I am very grateful to share the following testimony, which helped me understand the healing effect of overcoming fear.   When my daughter was about six years old, she came to find me in the church auditorium after a service.

A change of heart and renewed appreciation for church led to a healing I had. For over a year, I had experienced constant pain in one of my legs.
