Prayer brings healing and spiritual growth

Originally written in Portuguese, this first appeared in the October 2016 Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German editions of The Herald of Christian Science.

Last year, as I was picking up my two-year-old son at school, his teacher called my attention to several places on his neck where there was a red rash. The rashes appeared to be spreading to other parts of his body as well.

I got a bit scared at that moment, because I remembered that I had had severe allergy outbreaks in childhood and as an adult. I didn’t know Christian Science back then and had relied on medicine for relief. Although I had been totally free from the condition for about ten years, I didn’t want my child to have the same experience.
