The healer

Last week's readings for the Wednesday meeting focused on healing. I thought it would be intereseting next too look at the healer - what are some of the qualities that help us all to be better healers. It's so interesting that Mary Baker Eddy started the chapter "Christian Science Practice" with the story of the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and annointed them with ointment - giving insight to key qualities needed by the practitioner or spiritual healer. So I started the Science and Health portion of the readings with her commentary on this Bible story and its accompanying parable, as well as of course including the story in the Bible portion.

What qualities do you find exemplified by this "strange woman"? How do you express these in your life right now? How can you express more of them or express them better? Could questions for everyone to ask themselves regularly, I am thinking!

Much good!
