Recovery from illness and effects of a fall

Diana Trinder

I had traveled from Europe back to my home in Sydney, Australia, with long layovers between three connecting flights, and upon arriving at the Sydney airport, I didn’t feel well. A gentleman kindly helped me with my large bag on wheels, while I wore my backpack, which seemed to get heavier with every step.

A few days later, I felt even more unwell, with a high fever and exhaustion. I contacted a Christian Science practitioner, who agreed to pray for me and shared these statements from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “The recuperative action of the system, when mentally sustained by Truth, goes on naturally” (p. 447) and, “Even though you aver that the material senses are indispensable to man’s existence or entity, you must change the human concept of life, and must at length know yourself spiritually and scientifically” (p. 359). The practitioner also reassured me with this spiritual fact from the same source: “Being is holiness, harmony, immortality” (p. 492).

These ideas stirred me to be grateful. I appreciated the kindness and love of my family and the practitioner. My physical and mental health began to improve, and within a few days, the fever disappeared, and my natural vitality returned. I was very grateful to be able to attend my Christian Science students’ association not long after the healing was complete.
