MULTIPLE HEALINGS AND BLESSINGS

Originally published in Héraut de la Christian Science

MARCELLE GENSE

Christian Science entered my life during a time of great distress. Science and Health, a book that explains the laws of Christian healing, was given to me when my son was born in 1943, under the German occupation. My husband had been deported a short time before the birth. While in the maternity ward, the baby and I contracted a fever that, at the time, the doctors could not treat. Although the Churches of Christ, Scientist, had been closed during the war, the light contained in the ideas from Science and Health—ideas I used in prayer—saved both of us, to the great astonishment of the doctors.

When I left Paris, I lost contact with the Christian Science movement, but I kept the book and turned to it from time to time.

Five years later, my son contracted a pulmonary disease. My husband had returned at the end of his deportation, but our marriage was a failure. When I went back to Paris to start divorce proceedings, I, too, become ill and was ordered to have surgery. That's when I seized on those ideas from Science and Health again, recognizing their healing power. I was healed in three days. I was specifically told that under no circumstance should my son take baths or be exposed to the sun. He, too, was healed in a few days, and now lives in the south of France, where he is an avid scuba diver, tennis player, and skier.
