Grace before meals

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!

    On the heels of Sunday’s Roundtable (3/13/22), which included some discussion about saying grace before meals, I just came upon this in the biography, “The Life of Mary Baker Eddy,” by Sibyl Wilbur:

    “In this house [the Phillips family home, in 1866] silent prayer was the custom before eating. Mary Baker yielded to this custom with great reverence, often saying it seemed to her like a holy communion” (p. 145).
