“God, what do You know about me?”

From the December 2024 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A mom of a young teen called me in my capacity as a Christian Science practitioner because her son wasn’t feeling well. They wanted me to pray with them and give him a Christian Science treatment. I talked to her a bit, and then to him. 

Immediately after getting off the phone, I remembered a line from the first Star Wars movie, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” I burst into laughter. Without delving too much into the film, the line has to do with a demand that the good guys identify themselves to the bad guys. But one of the movie’s heroes steps in and helps them bypass that demand. The group moves forward unharmed.  

Back to my phone call. The mom and son called back a few minutes later and the son was totally fine. What happened there? What healed him?
