Permanently healed of herpes; and able to forgive

Although my parents were not practicing Christian Scientists when I was growing up, they each had had some Christian Science Sunday School experience as children, so they sent my siblings and me to Sunday School on and off for several years. The Sunday School experience was invaluable to me. 

As I grew into my later teenage years, I thought less and less about Christian Science because I felt it was too demanding. However, by my mid-twenties I was having a very difficult time in my marriage. My husband and I were musicians working together. He had been unfaithful, and I was struggling with a painful physical problem. The doctor who had been treating me over several months finally told me that it was herpes and the only thing he could do for me was to perform surgery to alleviate the pain. He said I would need surgery every few years, and that there was no known cure. It appeared that my husband’s infidelity had brought on this condition that was classified as a venereal disease. I was very distraught.

At that point, I began to think more and more about my Sunday School years, and thought that Christian Science could heal me. I was humbled by the gravity of the situation and was now receptive to learning more deeply about Christian Science. I thought about Mary Baker Eddy’s amazing revelation of the Science of Christ, which explains our true spiritual being, and her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. My Sunday School teachers had so faithfully emphasized this textbook.
