In 1897 a mother wrote of a healing she had witnessed on the day that Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, had invited her followers to visit her at her Pleasant View homestead near Concord N.H..

It was Independence Day. The mother and her children had traveled all the way from Kansas City for this rare event that promised to become a day of celebration. For the seven-year-old daughter, however, it became a day of agony. She suffered severely from a boil on her head. The mother tells us what happened that day after the formal address was completed and Mary Baker Eddy received her visitors on her porch.  

"I wish I could make the world know what I saw when Mrs. Eddy looked at those children," the mother wrote later. "It was a revelation to me. I saw for the first time the real Mother-Love... As I turned in the procession and walked towards the line of trees in the front of the yard, there was a bird sitting on the limb of a tree, and I saw the same Love poured out on that bird that I had seen flow from Mrs. Eddy to my children. I looked down at the grass and the flowers and there was the same Love resting on them. It is difficult for me to put into words what I saw. This Love was everywhere, like the light, but it was divine, not mere human affection... I looked at the people milling around on the lawn and I saw it poured out on them. I thought of the various discords in the field, and I saw, for the first time, the absolute unreality of everything but this infinite Love. It was not only everywhere present, like the light, but it was an intelligent presence that spoke to me, and I found myself weeping as I walked back and forth under the trees and saying out loud, 'Why did I never know you before?' 'Why have I not known you always?'  When we got back to the hotel, there was no boil on my child's head."*

Christian Science is a miraculous healer. Still its process is natural. It is as soft and natural as the dawn of spring. Its process reflects the Principle of Universal Love, or divine Love. The spirit of its healing reflects the harmonizing Spirit that is God reflected in the universe and man. Its impetus is divine Mind; its beauty the light of Soul; its power is Truth; its quality is Life. 

Christian Science healing is miraculous, because it doesn't actually heal reality, just as God never heals. God is universal Principle, manifest in a quality in all reality that makes healing 'impossible' because God never falls below the standard of perfection or recognizes the existence of anything contrary that would require healing. Christian Science is a healer in the sense that it brings one into harmony with God, with the divine reality that is the reality of our being in all its quality. Thus Christian Science extends an invitation to us all to celebrate the divine quality that is the light of the world. It invites us to 'move' with the divine; to 'dance' with God; the follow the leading of Love in the land of Spirit. 

Hear begins the process that we call healing.

If sickness was a part of the divine reality, God would be its author, and it would be futile to attempt to heal it, to overthrow a work of God, but healing happens as it always has and ever will as we follow divine Mind into its native sphere where the concept of healing no longer applies and the resulting blessings precede the human need.
