"The Way of Gethsemane" by Lucy Hays Reynolds, April 1945, CSJ

THE GLORY OF THE TOMB by Lucy Hays Reynolds, April 1931, CSJ

(an excerpt from the above article)

“In the long struggle and waiting in confining circumstances, or so-called physical disabilities, when day after day nothing seems to happen, when every door is closed and there appears no way out, the Christian Scientist, understanding that man reflects the perpetual activity of Mind, looks beyond the evidence of the senses and discerns the marvelous unfoldment taking place in consciousness through the reflection of divine Love. In the mighty wrestlings of overcoming error we discover that, although human energies and interests may seem to fail, we become animated with the graces of Spirit. Endurance, patience, and stability are all won in the overcoming of adverse experiences. Through the silent workings of Spirit, self-will and rebellion surrender to divine law. We step forth from our wrestling chastened and sanctified, with a new outlook, and new power. Think it not, then, an occasion for despair if we are seemingly buried in some hopeless situation. Be the condition what it may, let us make of the experience a quiet retreat of spiritual aloofness and security.”

Here is the wonderful 6-hour movie called "Jesus of Nazaareth".  It is my favorite version of this story even though it was made in 1976. It is well worth viewing during this Easter season.

Dear Friends,

One theme that seems to run through this lesson is how Love rules out fear. Fear is mentioned many times in the lesson, in almost every section. 

"Fear is the belief in the existence of something apart from good. Love casts it out because Love understands the infinite oneness of Being without an unlikeness." Laura Sargent

_____

Possible main ideas of each section: (Please know these are just what is coming to me. You might see completely different ideas.)

God is Love:

Section I: Infinite, omnipresent Love

Section II: Divine Love meets every need!

Section III: Universal brotherhood: "Love thy neighbor as thyself"

Section IV: Raising of Jairus' daughter (Fear not!) Handle fear first in every treatment!

Section V: Jesus walking on the water. Peter follows him but sinks when he becomes afraid and looks away from the Christ.

Section VI: "be not afraid," Divine Love is the shepherd!

_____

Every Monday morning in the Upper School a Chapel is shared by members of the community. Last week's was given my Marshall McCurties, and it was about "True Freedom." I thought you all might like to hear it. It was just excellent.

Skim through the first part and go to 17:58 minutes to hear his Chapel. The first half is something else where the students are talking about Martin Luther King.
