Spiritual healing

The Big Question was most valuable in the March 2019 Life and Work. All the contributors spoke, in a manner rarely encountered, of profound personal experiences involving God and Christ. Although never having experienced anything like their spiritual realm and intensity, I felt what they said touched me in a way other writing has not. Thank you all so much for this.

I have tried to analyse why their voices were so potent. It was because they were describing the presence of God and Christ as living and acting in their person, a being who can be known intimately rather than as a mere statement of a truth.

Shirley Billes could describe her ‘angels’ and such angels were mentioned often by name by other contributors. Shirley talked about the Christ within her as the source of her healing love. I believe that God and Christ is always present with us, within and without, as we encounter all aspects of the universe, personal and material and as we participate in this creation, His love and healing fills our vision and actions. Martin Buber said that: “the existence of the mutuality of God and man cannot be proved but blessed are they that declare it”. In the Big Question this month (March 2019) this mutuality has been declared in a most powerful way. Thank you again to all contributors.
