Reply To: “The Messiah" by Handel

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this post! I had the MOST DELIGHTFUL Christmas, starting with the WONDERFUL Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and then on Christmas Day I read this post, followed up by reading Parthens’ 2014 article that you mentioned. I was so moved in reading about Handel’s experience, and since I already had one of my CDs of “The Messiah” in my CD player, I immediately turned it up and listened with so much joy, while I continued my deeper study of Mrs. Eddy’s poem, Christ and Christmas. During this holy time, I received a “Merry Christmas” text from a former client, who has studied Christian Science in the past, and I shared the information with her in my reply. She was thrilled to learn this fascinating fact. Otherwise, I also shared the Peter V. Ross article entitled, “Remedy for Lawlessness” with 2 other Christian Scientists, and one forwarded it on to 10 others. When she asked the source of the article, I shared the PF website with her, and also emailed her both of Peter V. Ross’s books that I got off the PF website (Lectures on CS, pages 215-216 – has the similar article entitled “Cure for Lawlessness”) and she expressed much gratitude for receiving them. WOW! The PERFECT Christmas Eve and Day! Thanks again for this post and Parthens’ article!!
