Supporting those who have found Christian Science while incarcerated as they re-enter society
“I make strong demands on love, call for active witnesses to prove it, and noble sacrifices and grand achievements as its results. … Love cannot be a mere abstraction, or goodness without activity and power.
As a human quality, the glorious significance of affection is more than words: it is the tender, unselfish deed done in secret; the silent, ceaseless prayer; the self-forgetful heart that overflows; the veiled form stealing on an errand of mercy, out of a side door; the little feet tripping along the sidewalk; the gentle hand opening the door that turns toward want and woe, sickness and sorrow, and thus lighting the dark places of earth.”
– Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science
