Our Pastor’s healing ministry

Kathleen F. Lundeen

Those who enter into a deep and sustained study of Christian Science discover that being a Christian Scientist is not a passive endeavor. It involves an active pursuit of Truth, which calls forth vigor and stamina in the one studying and praying. The work is joyous and liberating, and it energizes all of one’s activities, personal and professional. 

To those who daily participate in such work, it is natural to respond, through this spiritual activity, to difficulties of all sorts that may come up in one’s life or in the world; and it is normal to see difficulties healed through this approach. This question may arise, however: What if you face circumstances that either make it difficult for you to pray or leave you feeling you don’t know how to pray about the problem at hand? It is comforting and encouraging to know that on such occasions we can avail ourselves of the healing ministry of the Pastor of the Church of Christ, Scientist.

When Mary Baker Eddy ordained the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, as Pastor over The Mother Church and its branches, she gave those cherished and sacred texts the roles of nurturing and ministering to students of Christian Science.
