A talk on Christian Science by Edwina Aubin, CSB, Christian Science practitioner and teacher and a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Effective prayer is more than thinking good thoughts, or begging a far-off God to intervene. It is a recognition of the transforming power of God’s law in our lives. Jesus provided strong examples of what prayer can do, and expected his followers for centuries to come to do the same. He defied material laws by obeying spiritual laws – laws that define God as Love and God’s loving government of us. We can follow Jesus’ example confidently by striving to understand these laws and put them into practice.

—Dar libremente de nosotros mismos—
Y lo que todos ganamos
Melanie Wahlberg, CS

Cuando nos sentimos abrumados por los problemas de la vida, es posible que deseemos tratar de obtener más del mundo. Pero cuando hacemos lo contrario, damos más de nosotros mismos o nos enfocamos en las cualidades dadas por Dios que ya tenemos para expresar o contribuir, descubrimos que no nos falta nada. Realmente, obtenemos el bien inesperado de la alegría, la salud y la fuerza que hacen avanzar nuestras vidas y el mundo.
