Like the three other periodicals Mary Baker Eddy established, the Monitor brings the compassionate, healing message of Christian Science to every corner of the globe—magnifying good and impelling prayer for our communities and world.
The daily religious column—an idea initiated by Mrs. Eddy—emanates from this foundation of blessing all mankind. Mrs. Eddy envisioned the Monitor as a “newspaper for the home, but she expected it to have a healing effect on the world” (Yvonne Caché Fettweis and Robert Townsend Warneck, “Crowned by Love (1908–1910),” Journal, December 1996).
In that spirit, the Christian Science Perspective column not only helps readers of all backgrounds, nationalities, and cultures discover the transforming effect that engaging with spiritual truths can have on thoughts and lives, it also serves to unify the thought of prayerful thinkers worldwide.
