The touch of Christ

Marsha Pecaut

It was my grandmother who taught me that God is Love. There were eight of us grandchildren, and she expressed unconditional love for each one of us. We watched her express love as a gentle and patient peacemaker. Grandma’s love for God and family, in bad times and in good, encouraged and uplifted me. She made me want to learn more about divine Love and how Love heals.

As I studied Christian Science, I learned that it was through Christ, the true, perfect light, that God was actively blessing my grandmother’s life—and blessing all. The ever-present Christ heals and saves; it brings to receptive human consciousness the light of spiritual Truth—to be understood, and so seen and felt.

Through prayer and spiritual receptivity, it is possible for everyone to experience the touch of Christ. As I grew up, I experienced numerous circumstances where the healing and saving activity of the Christ, revealing man’s spiritual relation to God, awakened me to the truth of my being as a loved child of God.
