Blessed Repentance

Carl J. Welz

The ability to heal in Christian Science appears today, this day, to each individual in the degree of his consciousness of absolute, divine Truth. One can be conscious of absolute divine Truth this day, only by repenting this day of the error which appears to be in human consciousness.

The standpoint needed to meet today's problem and to solve it successfully is the same standpoint that was required yesterday—the consciousness of pure reality, God and His idea. But the healing which occurred because of errors conquered yesterday will not repeat itself today merely because of yesterday's victory. This day demands further conquests of error if the spiritual standpoint is to be maintained and the healing power again demonstrated.

Each day is an opportunity to know oneself better. Until we ascend completely above the mortal sense of things, there will always be more of our spiritual selfhood to discern, and it can be discerned only as we renounce more of our supposed material selfhood.
