FREED FROM HEMORRHOIDS AND BURNS

I became acquainted with Christian Science 35 years ago, when a neighbor gave me the book Science and Health. A short time later, I acquired the Christian Science Quarterly and began to read the Weekly Bible Lessons. Soon after reading the passages from the Bible and Science and Health in these Lessons frequently I started to cure health problems by means of prayer.

One of my healings was of hemorrhoids. For three years they had bothered me greatly. There were moments when the pain and the burning were almost unbearable. During one of these crises, I had an inspiring thought: "Hold firm to God, who is Truth. He helps you." That's what I did. I lifted my thought to the Father-Mother, God. I acknowledged that God is supreme and infinite, and that I, as His reflection, could not feel pain or express anything that was unlike Him. I felt immediate relief, and, after three days, I was completely healed. I never again had a crisis, and the symptoms of the hemmorhoids disappeared completely.

Some time after this, I had an experience that showed me that the action of Truth is uninterrupted. One day, while attempting to turn over a piece of meat that was roasting in the oven, I spilled some of the boiling oil over several parts of my body, especially my arms and hands. I felt a burning sensation, but did not get alarmed. I immediately affirmed: "Nothing happened. In the divine kingdom, nothing bad can happen, because God is infinite Love."
