Angela Sage Larsen, “Overcome ‘love of ease,’ be a better healer,” Journal, January 2025
This article was an eye-opener! Like the author, I have experienced times when my focus was more on “love of ease” than watching. I appreciate the thoughtful treatment of this topic. Staying alert to the subtle suggestions of ease or mindless distractions is a much-needed message for today.

I smiled all through reading this article because I’ve experienced the same feelings. I especially liked her use of the word watch. She reminded me that watching my thought to identify and dismiss aggressive negative suggestions about myself has been most helpful in keeping me focused on my true identify as a pure, unadulterated, and dynamic child of God.

Susanne Van Eyl, “A new view of temptation,” Journal, January 2025
Wow! Thank you so much for this article. I have a new perspective on the line in the Lord’s Prayer about temptation. This is so helpful and definitely corresponds to Mary Baker Eddy’s “Alertness to Duty” By-Law given to her students in the Church Manual (p. 42).

Deborah Huebsch, “What’s needed for healing,” Journal, January 2025
How grateful I am to better understand the healing that comes from living in divine Love, reflecting this Love, and knowing that Love is all there is. There being nothing else, healing is a given. Healing is beyond loving God, our neighbor, and ourselves; it is being only the reflection of God, Love.

Grateful for Christian Science periodicals
I’m so grateful for the Christian Science periodicals in general. After reading the January Journal, I felt so much power in the faith, trust, and understanding of each contributor and such a kinship with them. Thank you for providing this vehicle for them to share their love and devotion to the power of the Science of the Christ with me.

December Journal testimonies
I read the testimonies in the December Journal and thought, “That was awesome!” Reading those healing experiences felt like being at a Wednesday service. Thank you, testifiers and Journal staff. Thank you, God, for being Life and caring for all creation without fail.
