The articles on prayer in the September 19 Sentinel [“How does prayer work?”] are timely and extremely helpful, especially those by Allison Phinney (“Christianly scientific prayer”) and S. P. James (“Prayers of petition and praise”). As a longtime student of Christian Science, I cannot thank you enough for the weekly refreshment and guidance that you are offering us. Thank you, thank you.

In “Let Love write our life script” from the September 19 Sentinel, I really enjoyed what Diana Davis Butler had to say about acting in a play scripted by mortal mind. It became so clear to me that we do this all the time—buy into the script that is mesmerizing us into believing in a material existence. She says, “. . . we can take a closer look at our ‘life script’ and see that it lines up with the spiritual truth of our being.” How? she asks. By knowing that God designed our life and wrote the true script and that is the only script we need to read. I can’t tell you how much this thrilled me to see how easy it really is to recognize true selfhood. The Bible is full of stories like this.
