Take a well-deserved break

Pause often for spiritual refreshment.

Judith Haugan Ryan

Everyone From Construction workers to stay-at-home parents looks forward to some kind of break from busy schedules—whether it's lunch time or nap time. But there's another kind of break we can each take that's more than just getting away from it all—a spiritual break.

I have found a prayer written by Mary Baker Eddy to be a helpful daily refreshment: " 'Thy kingdom come;' let the reign of divine Truth, Life, and Love be established in me, and rule out of me all sin; and may Thy word enrich the affections of all mankind, and govern them!" (Manual of The Mother Church, Art. VIII, Sect. 4).
