From the Editors

In conversations with several Christian Science practitioners over recent months about trends they are seeing, many mentioned a great need for more consistency in something very basic: praying for ourselves. Daily prayer speaks to the balance, purity, order, symmetry, vibrancy, and beauty found in God, Soul. Realizing our need for Soul’s qualities and praying to bring them out enables us to stay grounded in the loveliness of what God is revealing.

We each look in the mirror as we’re preparing for the day ahead. And if you feel a resistance to looking daily in the mirror of divine Science, there are a couple of articles here to encourage you along your way.
