Practice, practice, practice

From the January 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For some time now I have been pondering how well we really know how to practice Christian Science. One evening while attending a symphony concert I was impressed with what it meant to practice, and what practice could achieve. As I listened to a world-renowned pianist play a Bartok concerto, I thought of the countless hours he had practiced.

What made him practice, practice, practice? He must have felt within himself a great talent and a love for it. Practice became an integral part of his daily living; it required self-discipline, diligence, a desire for perfection. Its reward was the joy of being able to share his talent with others. The practice made it possible.

The greatest of all talents is the ability to prove the Christ and its Science. This talent applies to the whole range of living. Faithfully exercising this talent, we can face difficult circumstances. We can heal sickness, mental disturbance, and sin, as Jesus expected his followers to do.
