Christian Science healing is “the Spirit and the bride,”—the Word and the wedding of this Word to all human thought and action,—that says: Come, and I will give thee rest, peace, health, holiness. The sweet flowers should be to us His apostles, pointing away from matter and man up to the one source, divine Life and Love, in whom is all salvation from sin, disease, and death.

—Mary Baker Eddy, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, pp. 153–154
