I absolutely had to do it

Margot Ruck—Wiesbaden, Germany

In September 1997, I heard about Christian Science for the first time in my life. A friend gave me a print-out of a Christian Science lecture after I had told her that I was facing huge financial difficulties that had quite suddenly swept over me. Initially, I began to read the text she had given me, just to be polite, but the first words were like a revelation. I had found exactly the spiritual truth that I’d always looked for!

Eagerly, I started to study this Science. As a result, my thinking radically changed. And very gradually, almost unnoticeably at first, my life became brighter and brighter. It took a few years before I finally got back on my feet financially. But I had gained the absolute certainty that God’s help is always present and that I would be able to apply this fact to all future situations. I had found the universal remedy.

During this time copies of The Herald of Christian Science (Der Herold der Christlichen Wissenschaft) were a great support to me. Again and again, I found exactly the articles I needed right at the moment I needed them. With awe I also read how Christian Science practitioners devote their time to helping others through prayer. This information fascinated me, but I would’ve been unable to explain why.
