Image and Inspiration

Stand by the limpid lake . . . . See therein the mirrored sky and the moon ablaze with her mild glory. This will stir your heart. Then, in speechless prayer, ask God to enable you to reflect God, to become His own image and likeness, even the calm, clear, radiant reflection of Christ’s glory . . . .

—Mary Baker Eddy, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 150
