“You have to be able to sort out what matters from what doesn’t matter.” Virgil adds, “If you’ve heard the expression, ‘garbage in, garbage out,’ you know we don’t want to start with garbage. Start at the beginning. Start with God. Going in order wakes us up from a distorted view of reality.”

Sharing examples of healing from her own life and professional practice of Christian Science, Virgil will explain why Christian Science is both Christian and scientific, meaning that people can prove its effectiveness for themselves, as fully described in the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, written by the founder of the Christian Science movement, Mary Baker Eddy.

Virgil will also touch on the life of Mary Baker Eddy, who strove to understand, demonstrate, and teach what she was learning about Christian healing.. Eddy herself said she was especially inspired by Jesus’ demand, “He that believes on me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works than these will he do, because I go unto my Father” (found in the Gospel of John 14:12 in the Bible).

For over 150 years, people around the world have worked to follow Christ Jesus in this practice of Christianity and continue to do so today, experiencing healings of physical ills and personal difficulties.

Nicole Virgil has been a Christian Science practitioner for many years, helping people on a daily basis through this scientific approach to prayer. She travels from her home base in Elmhurst, Illinois to speak to audiences around the world as a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Today we celebrate creativity, community, and inspiration as we unveil a vibrant new mural by local artist Skye Walker.

This artwork has taken shape as a living expression of movement, color, and purpose. What began as a blank wall is now a visual reminder of growth, unity, and the healing power of art.

We invite friends, neighbors, and the wider community to join us today for the official mural reveal and a relaxed gathering together.

• “I think I have discovered the highest good. It is love.”
• “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
• “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
• “In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”
• “He who hates does not know God, but he who loves has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.”
• “When I talk about love … I am not talking about emotional bosh. I am not talking about some sentimental or even some affectionate emotion. I am talking about something much deeper.”

On the Greek concept of “agape,” the highest of the three forms of love:

• “It is an overflowing love, which seeks nothing in return. Theologians would say that it is the love of God operating in the human heart. And when one rises to love on this level, he is able to love the person who does the evil deed, while hating the deed that the person does.”

• We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.”
• “I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind’s problems. And I’m going to talk about it everywhere I go.”
• “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”
• “Go out this morning. Love yourself, and that means rational and healthy self-interest. You are commanded to do that. That’s the length of life. Then follow that: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. You are commanded to do that. That’s the breadth of life.”
• “Yes, it is love that will save our world and our civilization, love even for enemies.”

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”

-Martin Luther King Jr

What if God is simply, LOVE

From the January 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 320:3-321:22

This interesting day, crowned with the history of Truth’s idea, its earthly advent and nativity, is especially dear to the heart of Christian Scientists, to whom Christ’s appearing in a fuller sense is so precious, and fraught with divine benedictions for mankind.

The star that looked lovingly down on the manger of our Lord, lends its resplendent light to this hour. The light of Truth to cheer, guide and bless man, as he reaches forth for the infant idea of divine perfection that dawns upon human imperfection, that chides man’s fear, bears his burdens, that beckons him on to Truth and Love, and the sweet immunity they bring from sin, sickness and death.

This polar star, fixed in the heavens of divine science, shall be the sign of his appearing who “Healeth all our diseases,” and it hath traversed night over to where the young child lies, wading through darkness and gloom, on to glory. It meets the antagonism of error, addressing to dull ears, and undisciplined beliefs, words of Truth and Life.

The star of Bethlehem is the star of Boston, high in the zenith of Truth’s domain, that looketh down on the long night of human beliefs to pierce the darkness, and melt into dawn.

The star of Bethlehem is the light of all ages; the light of Love, christening to-day religion, divine science, giving it a new name, and the white stone, a token of purity and permanence.

The wise men follow this guiding star; the watchful shepherd chants its welcome, and saith, at the cradle of a great Truth, “Unto us a child is born,” and his birth is less of a miracle than eighteen centuries ago, and “his name shall be called wonderful, the mighty counsellor, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”

It fills my heart with joy, that each receding year we see the steady gain of Truth’s idea in Christian Science; that each returning year the balance is adjusted more on the side of God, the supremacy of Spirit, the triumph of Truth over error, of health over sickness, Life over death, and of soul over sense.

“The time cometh, and now is, when they that worship the Father shall worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.” “For the law of the spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from sin and death.” “Fear not, little flock, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

“Press on, press on! ye sons of light,
Untiring in your holy fight,
Still treading each temptation down,
And battling for a brighter crown.”
