I should like to express my gratitude...

I should like to express my gratitude for a healing received through the study of Christian Science.

I was suffering from severe pleurisy, and after he had been caring for me for several months, the doctor said he could do nothing more for me, and that I had only a short time to live. I had to stop working and, although I did not then know of Christian Science, I ceased having medical care. Although still ill, I took a government position. Then it was that a friend told me of Christian Science. I immediately went to see a practitioner, who was willing to help me. However, in accordance with the rules of the governmental service where I worked, I had to go before a medical board, where an X ray showed a displacement of the heart of four centimeters. My condition was declared grave and I was given a year's vacation.

One day when visiting the practitioner I expressed to her my fear that I did not love God well enough, and I condemned myself. She reassured me, helping me to understand the love that God had for me. Her explanation enlightened me and transformed my thought. The next day, in thinking of this conversation, I felt my consciousness flooded with divine Love. I immediately realized that Love is my life, my existence, my being. I felt that I was healed. It was a blessed and unforgettable experience; it is "a light unto my path" (Ps. 119:105) which continues to guide and strengthen me. The sublimity of this experience, which took place after five months of treatment, cannot be expressed in words.
