The Sentinel is introducing an occasional two-page spread that pairs an editorial from The Christian Science Monitor with one of its “A Christian Science perspective” articles. This new feature is called “ ‘To bless all mankind’ ” (see Mary Baker Eddy, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 353). It illustrates how Monitor reporting encourages readers to go beyond personal needs to recognize the operation of God’s law in the wider community and experience the fuller blessing of loving one’s neighbor as one’s self.

For some time now I’ve wanted to add my thanks for everyone who writes for the Sentinel, and for those who edit and publish it every week. It seems that each week the articles and testimonies speak directly to me and address so powerfully the world, local, and personal topics I’m praying about. I’m deeply grateful for the effort and love that goes into providing each week’s Sentinels. 

In the March 9, 2015, Sentinel, which I’ve just read today, every article is relevant to our local Christian Science Reading Room, to topics being addressed in Sunday School, and to handling current world events—and even to the weather. But I must comment specifically on the article “Truth is true for everyone,” page 6, which touched me with such genuine compassion and love and honesty, because the author so clearly shares how our prayers are far-reaching, way beyond our own personal needs, motives, or intentions. Amen. Thank you so much.
