Testimony of Healing September 12, 2016 Issue

The pain was gone

Carlos Passaglia

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

I practice a sport called “paddle,” which is similar to tennis. The difference is that the court is enclosed, and it’s typically played in doubles.

One day, I began having pain in my right arm while practicing this sport. So I began to pray, declaring that God made me in His image and likeness. However, the healing wasn’t coming, and the arm was increasingly painful while I played.

As the discomfort was noticeable, some friends began telling me to go to a specialist; others assured me this kind of pain couldn’t be healed. Another even told me that owing to my age, it was logical to begin having this type of problem doing sports. I didn’t agree with what they were saying, but now I wasn’t just in pain while playing—it had become increasingly strong and seemingly permanent.
