Freedom from back pain

Nair da Silveira Bravo

I was spending a few days at my son's house, when I began feeling a lot of pain in my back around the kidney area. After three days in this situation, my granddaughter and her husband, who are Christian Scientists, came to pick me up to take me back home. Moving around was difficult, and getting into the car was a problem.

During the entire trip home, about 40 kilometers, the three of us sang hymns from the Christian Science Hymnal, prayed, and talked about "the scientific statement of being." It begins: "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all" (Science and Health, p. 468). This made me feel close to God.

By the time I got home, I was completely healed. I walked up the two flights of stairs to my third-floor apartment without any pain. This happened two years ago, and the pain never returned.

I am well advanced in years, and marveled at this quick and complete healing. I am very grateful for Christian Science.
