Poems

Finding strength in Church

From the November 1995 issue of The Christian Science Journal


This morning I woke grateful to be a stone in this structure,
united and cemented together with others;
yet not static, but dynamic,
growing,
expanding beyond what seems to be, to what is,
in understanding and demonstration of spiritual truth.

Today, I felt gratitude for The Mother Church,
The Church of Christ, Scientist, established by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, is made up of The Mother Church (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts) and its branches throughout the world which typifies "the shadow of a great rock in a weary land,
" Isa. 32:2; see Mary Baker Eddy, Pulpit and Press, p. 20 which affords shelter to all the tired wanderers,
which stands sure on the strongest foundation—Christ-healing.

This morning I was glad to feel myself on the rock, Truth,
safe from the floods of materiality,
firm on the rock, inseparable from the rock;
finding strength in Church.
