Remembrance without grief
When the younger sister of today’s contributor died unexpectedly, the idea of “praying without ceasing” brought a tangible sense of God’s love, instead of the darkness of grief.
The biggest gift

Expanding our sense of giving
Getting to know God as a source of limitless good empowers us to give to others in meaningful ways.
‘Let every heart prepare him room’
When plans to tackle a Christmas to-do list were interrupted, today’s contributor felt the grace of Christ replace frustration with joy, and an opportunity to help friends in need benefited all involved.
My pastor saved me from suicide
Today’s contributor shares how the spiritual, healing ideas in the Bible and the Christian Science textbook freed her from despair and the temptation to commit suicide.
Beyond positive thinking: thoughts that heal
When today’s contributor prayed for his injured dog, he experienced how God’s thoughts come with a power that brings tangible healing.
Rise above political polarization
This contributor found that an understanding of God’s boundless love helps us more clearly hear what others are saying and opens the door to unity and progress.
About the Healing Perspectives
Each weekday, the Monitor includes one clearly labeled religious article offering spiritual insight on contemporary issues, including the news. The publication – in its various forms – is produced for anyone who cares about the progress of the human endeavor around the world and seeks news reported with compassion, intelligence, and an essentially constructive lens. For many, that caring has religious roots. For many, it does not. The Monitor has always embraced both audiences. The Monitor is owned by a church – The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston – whose founder was concerned with both the state of the world and the quality of available news.
