Thanks for sharing. I love the ideas in this lecture. Especially meaningful is the idea of keeping my thought up in the “secret place of the most High”–keep it up with God, all-powerful goodness and Love,–rather than let it come down into a fearful, mental conversation how sickness and suffering have power over me. I am to guard the door of my mental house. Keep out the fear and let in the ideas God gives.

2. A grateful viewer in UK Says:

This is an outstanding lecture. Chrystal, clear and absolutely logical. I could follow this.
Loved the way Mary Baker Eddy was introduced. Really wonderful. Thank you for this lecture, the world defnitely needs to catch this kind of prayers and thinking- the ideas here is contagious in a real tangible- healthy way. Loved the prayer and communing with God. Thank you, thank you.

3. CLee from Oregon Says:

What a beautiful, and enlightening presentation of ideas relating to man’s inherent, God established freedom from fear and disease. The recognition of God’s omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience is surely a good place to start. Thank you for this wonderful gift.

4. Tad Says:

I loved the ideas shared here — very fresh and genuine!

5. Viola Everett Says:

Enlightening — No seaons to cause suffering. No flu or allergy seasons. No “act of God” seasons. Only Good. Thank you!

6. Debbie Says:

I attended the lecture and couldn’t wait for it to appear online so that i can share it with family and friends who couldn’t attend. Thank you for explaining the these ideas in such a clear way that no one can miss it. Thank you! Thank you!

8. Paulette Says:

What a wonderful Lecture! Marceil DeLacy gives me such a feeling of empowerment. I loved the quote she shared from Stephen Gottchalk\’s Book Rolling Away the Stone where he says about Mrs. Eddy — “… she understood it required sustained periods of quietness in which the insistent voice of the world and its materialism is silenced and those who commune with God wait for His voice to be heard.\” Marceil tells us how to silence the fear and clamor of all materialistic thinking by turning to The Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

9. Marj Says:

Loved the truths told here and the opportunity to hear the lecture on such a timely subject so quickly. It is great to have these reminders of how to live to lift others up from their fears of belief in contagon and heredity. I was able to share a little with a client this last week as she expressed fear of a possible inherited disease. Thanks for the great lift for the end of my day today. It would be so nice to listen to lectures on any subject when there is time in our day. I love this Idea.

10. Freida Says:

What a powerful lecture and lecturer! Of course, these are the truths from God. I will be returning to this sight AND listen to this lecture again and again, and also use the tools Mary Baker Eddy gave to us to help us on our journey. Thank you Marceil and Boston for these wonderful thoughts for the application of Christian Science always available.

11. fujiko Says:

So logical, full of good examples, and most of all conviction that God, Love is the highest power, available anywhere, any time, and creates harmonious and intelligent reality. That’s Science!! Thank you for giving us the practical steps, especially about spending quiet time to commune with God, His ideals. and Christ.

12. Samantha Says:

Thank you for making this available. It was very helpful to me. Very thorough and specific.

13. Josh Says:

Loved the lecture. Clear and logical. Such a great refresher on the simplicity of Truth. Lots of practice to do now. Thank you Marceil, it was the spirit behind your words that made it so great.

14. Joy …. Australia Says:

Thank you Marceil for such clarity and the important reminder of “standing porter at the door of thought”. Also the need for our “sustained periods of quietness”. It is so wonderful to benefit not only from the Truth spoken, but that we can see you at the time you are giving the lecture and “be there with you all” even though we’re on the other side of the world. I especially loved the fact that “health is catching”! Thank you again!

15. Jen Says:

I am so grateful to have this insightful talk available to email to friends and family all over this country. It is a topic we are all handling today!
Thank you.

16. Susan Says:

Many thanks. What a privilege it is to be able to listen to the Copernicuses (Copernici?) of this age! The Spirit behind the words never changes, when the words are true.

17. Sharon… W. Australia Says:

I found this so helpful when thinking about the disasters reported over the last few days. I loved all the ideas shared especially \”looking for the presence of our God as Love\”. Thank you to all who made this lecture possible over the internet.

18. Christine Says:

Thank you so much for your the graceful and beautiful way you explained the spiritual truth about creation. My favorite text is Gen: 1:31 and you explained the entire creation so crystal clear!
Love is reaching mankind through all the lecturers and teachers and practitioners. Thank you for embracing all three with your love your inspiration will help me and I know many others.

19. bluejay Says:

Making an effort to find more of the peaceful silence that comes from elevated thought - taking us away from the facts that our material senses constantly present - allows us to secure and protect our consciousness (our home) from the illusions that we may otherwise accept as true.

20. Terri Meehan Says:

How wonderful it was to switch on my computer and listen to the truth about contagions rather than the fears the media tries to feed us. Marcel has such a gift for simplifying and explaining the practicalities of how our thoughts reflect the outcomes we receive. I have jotted down some notes as I watched her lecture that I hope to explore further. Thank you for sharing with us!

21. Barbara Says:

This is one of the best Christian Science lectures I have ever heard. She has attention-grabbers throughout, and covers the subject so completely. It started my day out with a bang, and I was able to share some of its ideas with a friend who is presently under medical treatment.

22. Susan Says:

I am so grateful that I have access to the wonderful lectures and inspirations. Thank you - I will listen to this again.

23. Mary Says:

Thank you for this wonderful gift. It was easy to understand and just what I needed to hear. It left me with a smile and a safe feeling..

24. Linda Anderson Says:

A fabulous lecture!
Marceil’s definition of fear, an acknowledgement of helplessness, was enlightening.
Also when Marceil visited the third world country and “took in” the entire material picture is an example of how important it is to work constantly to deny the material picture.

25. Phyllis Says:

“The calm, strong currents of true spirituality, the manifestations of which are health, purity, and self-immolation, must deepen human experience, until the beliefs of material existence are seen to be a bald imposition, and sin, disease, and death give everlasting place to the scientific demonstration of divine Spirit and to God’s spiritual, perfect man.” Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. This quote comes to thought as the verification for your talk. Your lecture gave absolute, clear guidance on how to achieve the above. Thank you!

26. June and Denis say: Says:

Thank your so much Marceil, for this wonderful,clear Lecture. Such an important subject just now. We don’t accept a lie.

Love the summing up at the end.
“Don’t sit and stay at the command of a false master.” Can apply to every area of our lives.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

27. Kaye Says:

I didn’t notice these lectures being available until this morning. Following the “daily lift” comments, several mentioned the lecture until I began to look for the possibility of it being online. This is so helpful having it available to us anywhere and anytime. The statements Marceil gives can apply to other situations as well as health care and I am really grateful to have this opportunity to remind me of the omnipotence and omnipresence of God. Thank you so much to all who were involved in allowing this to take place online. I really, really appreciate it.

28. Mary C. Says:

Thank you for this outstanding talk–so clear, so complete. The quality and scope of the insights shared provide a substantive foundation for spiritually scientific reasoning, effective prayer. The ideas you’ve shared are “tangible” and clear and enduring; a wonderful foundation on which to build. A blessing to hear this talk!

29. Claire Says:

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your message, Marceil, and to the Church for posting this video. Potent healing treatment! Thank you!

30. Suzanne Says:

This lecture is to be given in our area soon, so I listened to it ahead of time. What a treat! I will be working with the three “omnis” between now and the day of the lecture, and refusing to obey the voice commands that would try to make me willingly sit and stay in a state of fear.
Thank you so much!
