Heal wonderfully? Be like Jesus

0:00Hi, welcome to the Christian Science Daily Lift. Today we hear a short excerpt from my sentinel watch conversation with Mike Davis, a senior researcher at the Mary Baker Ready Library, which is located at the first church of Christ scientist in Boston, Massachusetts. He shares something really helpful about how to be a better healer. My current role is to work for the Mary Baker Ready papers project, and the goal of the papers project is to annotate and prepare Mary Baker Ready's letters and other papers from the archives to be published online. And in classes and correspondence, she gave instructions on how to heal through prayer. For instance, in a manuscript Mrs. Eddie used in teaching her early classes, she answered a question as to how a student can practice healing so that the results can be as she

1:02put it, wonderful and immediate. And the answer Mrs. Eddie gives to that question is, by being like Jesus, by asking yourself, am I honest, am I just, am I merciful, am I pure, and being able to respond with your demonstrations, to let what you can do for the sick answer this, and not your lips? For if you are becoming what is required of you, then you are a law to yourself, and will ask, am I doing to others as I would they should do to me? Am I seeking the praise of man or the praise of God, which means in science? Am I asking the soul to approve, or am I asking this of sense? And the answer will be found in science, by which you may know. Thanks for joining us. That was just one of the gems Mike shared during our conversation.
