Testimonies of Healing

My eldest sister gave me Christian Science when I was a teen-ager. I had three wonderful years as a pupil in The Mother Church Sunday School and joined The Mother Church at the end of that time.

[Original in Spanish] The desire to know more of God led me to take the first steps to have Christian Science class, at a time when human circumstances were telling me it was an impossible project to accomplish. I didn't have a fixed income to enable me to finance the journey and other expenses.

I am grateful for the loved Leader of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, and for her writings, which are a continual source of inspiration. I am also grateful to have attended a Christian Science Sunday School, for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, and for class instruction.

I received a phone call early one evening. A neighbor identified herself and said that my son had been hit by a car and he was being removed from the scene by ambulance to the hospital.

My husband and I adopted our first two children when they were infants. In the case of our first child we were told that because of our religion the waiting period would be much longer.

After World War II, when there was hardly anything left to eat, I read an article from a Christian Science periodical on the subject of safety. It told how a woman called out, when faced with destructive forces, that God would have to be destroyed first.

Although my parents were Christian Scientists, I had not realized the peace and illumination available through the study of Science, until long after I had married. At the time of our marriage, my wife had only recently become interested in this Science, but she perceived a sweetness and light in it that were and are a revelation to me.

Christian Science has been our physician, guide, and counselor for thirty years. Divine Science has surely been our Comforter.

Last year I was suddenly overcome by a painful, disabling condition in my foot. I did not hesitate a moment in countering, with "No" to this lie about my true being as God's expression.

I spent several years in a Christian Science Sunday School learning to love the Bible and the truths given by Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. I had yet really to apply these truths to my daily life, except in time of physical sickness.
