Swift recovery

Natalia R. Parris

When I was very new to the study of Christian Science, I had two amazing healing experiences that convinced me Christian Science is the answer for every challenging situation I could meet.

One day when my younger son, Peter, was about eight years old, he came running into the house crying that his beloved dog, Susie, had been run over by a car and was lying stiff on the side of the road. Although I was not experienced in the practice of Christian Science, I knew I did not need to accept the thought that she was dead. Some statements by Mary Baker Eddy came to me as I headed out the door to go to Susie: 

“1. God is All-in-all. 
“2. God is good. Good is Mind. 
“3. God, Spirit, being all, nothing is matter. 
“4. Life, God, omnipotent good, deny death, evil, sin, disease” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 113). I held to these truths, knowing that in reality, Susie could never be out of God’s care and protection.
