I share this healing with the hope that it will give strength and understanding to the struggling ones, such as I once was. I had been suffering for several years from a mild discomfort in one of my breasts. Four years ago this intensified and there was a well-defined lump. My arm was growing painful as well, and I was very frightened.

I called a practitioner to help me through Christian Science treatment. He asked me to study the Bible Lesson for that week from the Christian Science Quarterly, which was on the subject "Love." I never will forget the wonderful revelation I had when I read that Lesson—it was a touch of the Christ, Truth.

There was a passage in the Bible describing Jesus healing a multitude of sick people. I noticed particularly that it said, "He was moved with compassion on them" (Matt. 9:36), and I saw so clearly that my instruction, my goal, and my object of desire now was no longer just to be healed physically (although I knew this must be accomplished). My goal had to be to live more closely to the way Jesus lived—to follow his example to some degree.
