A glimpse,🌟

"Just as the belief of chemicalization may arise with an individual, so it may arise in world affairs and with nations. That is what is happening to-day. We stand in the midst of a great world chemicalization. Now it behooves us, as Christian Scientists, to lift ourselves out of this seeming struggle, and from the summit of spiritual apprehension to know and declare that the active idea of Truth cannot injure through the ferment it causes in mortal thought, but that it can and does bless."

The Master said: "Ye are the salt of the earth. ... Ye are the light of the world." What did he mean? He referred to illuminated spiritual understanding. It is the spiritual idea dawning on human consciousness that to human sense is the "light" and the "salt." When in C...

Have you ever looked straight at an object and not seen it? I have. When I have been looking for something, I have sometimes overlooked it, gone away, returned, then looked again, only to see it where I had already looked. This seems to indicate that it takes more than the organic eye actually to se...

Learning each day, trying to find balance takes discipline… and patience!

Just got back from a workshop in the San Luis Valley surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and ended with a visit to the Sand Dunes National Monument outside Alamosa, Colorado… the sand dunes took thousands of years to develop around the mountain range. A good representation of patience.

From this week's CS Bible lesson from The Responsive Readings share that we should not “fret.”

Psalms 37: 7 & 11

7 Rest in the Lord,
and
wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

11. . . the meek shall inherit the earth; and
shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Today…. Trusting the process, waiting patiently and humbly expecting the joy and abundance of peace!

Focusing on prayer rather than on social media also led me to take concrete steps to help those in need in my community.

Mary Baker Eddy prayed daily for world peace. And there’s a story behind this flag, which she received in 1907. She gifted it for safekeeping to her church.

This “peace flag” is currently displayed on the second floor wall of The Christian Science Publishing House in Boston. Representative of the hopefulness and enthusiasm that characterized many of the pre-World War I peace movements in America, the earliest peace flags date back to 1891.

In 1898 Eddy wrote: “I earnestly request that all true Christian Scientists in our land, or in foreign lands - whether taught by me personally or through my books -- will unite in prayer for peace: For the end of hostility and war among or between all nations, and religious sects,— for divine Love to make us one human family, to have one Father-Mother God, one Christ, whereof the Scriptures bear witness; and to demonstrate the divine Life, Truth, and Love– healing the sick, blessing our enemies, and all mankind.” (A10200)

We need not outline or attempt to predict the ways that healing will be manifest in areas where evil has been done or may be done in the future. But we can be clear, persistent, and expectant that our prayers, inspired by a selfless love for God and all humanity, will lessen evil, and help, in some way, to bring healing. God is present to comfort and uplift, and through our prayers we can help others know God, and know ourselves as His image and likeness.

The prevalence of violence in society is a strong call for prayer—and our prayers can be a significant help.

If you’re looking for a place to start when it comes to praying more effectively for world leaders, look no further than the account of Ananias, an early Christian in Damascus, in the New Testament.

IT WAS 7 A.M. AND I WAS SITTING ON A HILL over 4,000 miles from home feeling completely lost. Physically, I knew where I was, but mentally—well, I was feeling pretty bleak. Two weeks previously, I'd left the United States for a five-week art study abroad trip to France. I sho...
