Our Easter meal

At his last Passover meal, what has become known as the last supper, Jesus called on his disciples to symbolically eat of his “body”—to partake of the truth of spiritual being that he embodied. This is our example for today. 
In an era in which “self love” has often come to mean self-indulgence, the Editor considers what it truly means to love ourselves as the loved of God, and how this is central to obeying Jesus’ other commands to love God and our neighbor.
Are we distracted by technology and daily demands, or are we “present” —spiritually awake to God’s goodness and all-power?
No matter how small or insignificant a thought or action may seem, consistently striving to express Godlike qualities is key to preparing us for the bigger issues in life. 

We know what we know

When it seems like our healings are few and far between, our practice of Christian Science can help us overturn that belief—and reveal the legacy of healing that belongs to each of us. 
When we feel overwhelmed by the issues of the day, as many of us do at times, there’s a tendency to look back and yearn for “better days.” But when we do, we miss seeing the overflow of God’s goodness that is already in our lives, here and now.
While we may think of our “full employment” as a job, this week’s editorial looks at Mary Baker Eddy’s radical spiritual take on employment and its role in our spiritual practice.

The healing gift of Love

Are we looking for love? Or finding it by learning to express Love? As we more fully live love, God’s love, we find healing in our lives and are increasingly able to heal others.

The good fight

“Wrestling with, and yielding to, the truth of being is the only wrestling that leads to transformation and healing.”
“The betterment of the human condition . . . is merely an indication that a false sense of being as material and mortal is yielding to spiritual reality.”
Wondering if your prayers are effective? Consider this: “When we’ve experienced even one instance of God’s goodness, we gain confidence that the same Principle operates universally.”
As we look to make our prayers more active, more engaged, consider Jesus’ teaching that we hunger for righteousness. This heart’s desire “... is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void.”
