The Christmas message heals fear and sickness

IN AN ARTICLE titled "Christmas" found in one of her prose collections, Mary Baker Eddy described the star that looked down on the manger as "the light of Truth," cheering, guiding, and blessing everyone as they reach "forth for the infant idea of divine perfection dawning on human imperfection." She said that it ". . . calms man's fears, bears his burdens, beckons him on to Truth and Love and the sweet immunity these bring from sin, sickness, and death" (Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896, p. 320).

That kind of "sweet immunity" is something that parents with young children pray for at this time of year.
