Anyone who loves Christian Science longs to practice true, spiritual healing. And this is possible, because the Christ—the ever-present idea of God—is with us, showing us the scientific method of the Christ-cure.
Sometimes the prayer of a Christian Scientist is ineffective because it rests on a personal, limited, human level. The individual giving treatment may consider himself to be a rather good person, metaphysically treating someone else who needs to be a better person.
Yet Mrs. Eddy, who understood how Jesus cured people, taught that true healing is not accomplished through the human mind, nor does it originate in personal goodness.
