SPIRITUALITY- THE SOURCE OF HEALTH AND HEALING

with contributions from Marian English

A SPIRITUALITY.COM CHAT last September featured Marian English, a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science from Colorado Springs, Colorado. She has traveled throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, speaking on Christian Science at healthcare facilities, prisons, and detention centers. She has also served as President of The Mother Church. This text has been edited for readability. To read the whole chat go to www.spirituality.com/chats/healthandhealing.

Please give some ideas on how to pray about the worldwide epidemic of AIDS.

When I'm praying about something that seems quite formidable, I start with God. In fact, when I'm praying about anything, I'll start with God. Is there anything God cannot do? Is there anything that the purity of the divine nature cannot reach? If we start with God, we're working not with just the hope that it'll heal something, but with a universal law. When we start there and with the purity of man [a generic term that includes both man and woman) as His image and likeness, it makes whatever we look at a little bit less like Goliath, and more like one more opportunity to express the great power of God to heal.
