The secret of her influence

The secret of her influence on my life, This woman I admire? I think it was Christ's impact on her health And life, her heart set afire To reach people all over the world with God's divine method of healing. This remarkable woman, Mary Baker Eddy The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.

Then true Christmas we are living...

Every day is the day To let the dear Christ in. He said "I am the way,  The truth, and the life" John 14:6  that heals all sin.

Silent prayer

not a period of time but a state of drawing closer to God by stilling mortal sense and acknowledging His omnipresence.

First Christmas

Joy, the winged common stock of heralds. Aloft, the vast bell-tone of Presence on snow-powdered hills.

Diamonds on the water

Sparkles rippling through the water; Radiant sunshine dancing on the lake; Bright beams, shimmering like shooting stars In zigzag motion; Rays of sun caught in flight On mirrored surface, Flashing diamonds, evoking pure joy. Man is infinitely more—pure expression of Love, Imaging God, resplendent with His glory, Sparkling with intelligence, As His reflection of Himself.

"Go ye into all the world"*

Go ye into the world and share the gospel of Christ, Truth. Show that Christ still heals the sick, the lame, and makes the blind to see.

Learning and sharing

When a problem is solved and a healing is gained through the Science of Christ, it is always a learning experience, a new spiritual insight about God, ourselves, life, all things; a firmer grasp on divine Truth, more understanding of God's goodness; a learning that is joyous, that we want to share, that brings us to our feet gratitude-impelled in radiant praise at a Wednesday testimony meeting— and love-impelled to our fellowman as comforters and healers.

Line of light

Deity's expression, man, exists as God's perfect image in eternal continuity— presently, the truth is I'm His beloved reflection, inherently. Naturally, man is divine Mind's spiritual idea immaculately— purely, therefore, I am perfection's likeness, unchangingly.

A prayer to infinite Love

Wonderful Father, I pray that You make a home in my heart. Open the way for me to take, and help me to start.

To a Christian Science nurse

Welcome to this brave new day, to this Love-prepared hour, this God-given moment While here rests the wounded heart, here at hand is the bright, narrow way open to the sanguine hopes unspent. As you lean on divine Love's arm you see all are in the way, safe, and comfort flows from faith in Christ's revealing, healing balm.
