1. How holy are the healed! ²For in their sight their brothers share their healing and their love. ³Bringers of peace,—the Holy Spirit’s voice, through whom He speaks for God, Whose Voice He is,—such are God’s healers. ⁴They but speak for Him and never for themselves. ⁵They have no gifts but those they have from God. ⁶And these they share because they know that this is what He wills. ⁷They are not special. ⁸They are holy. ⁹They have chosen holiness, and given up all separate dreams of special attributes through which they can bestow unequal gifts on those less fortunate. ¹⁰Their healing has restored their wholeness so they can forgive, and join the song of prayer in which the healed sing of their union and their thanks to God.

2. As witness to forgiveness, aid to prayer, and the effect of mercy truly taught, healing is blessing. ²And the world responds in quickened chorus through the voice of prayer. ³Forgiveness shines its merciful reprieve upon each blade of grass and feathered wing and all the living things upon the earth. ⁴Fear has no haven here, for love has come in all its holy oneness. ⁵Time remains only to let the last embrace of prayer rest on the earth an instant, as the world is shined away. ⁶This instant is the goal of all true healers, whom the Christ has taught to see His likeness and to teach like Him.

3. Think what it means to help the Christ to heal! ²Can anything be holier than this? ³God thanks His healers, for He knows the Cause of healing is Himself, His Love, His Son, restored as His completion and returned to share with Him creation’s holy joy. ⁴Do not ask partial healing, nor accept an idol for rememberance of Him Whose Love has never changed and never will. ⁵You are as dear to Him as is the whole of His creation, for it lies in you as His eternal gift. ⁶What need have you for shifting dreams within a sorry world? ⁷Do not forget the gratitude of God. ⁸Do not forget the holy grace of prayer. ⁹Do not forget forgiveness of God’s Son.

4. You first forgive, then pray, and you are healed. ²Your prayer has risen up and called to God, Who hears and answers. ³You have understood that you forgive and pray but for yourself. ⁴And in this understanding you are healed. ⁵In prayer you have united with your Source, and understood that you have never left. ⁶This level cannot be attained until there is no hatred in your heart, and no desire to attack the Son of God.

5. Never forget this; it is you who are God’s Son, and as you choose to be to him so are you to yourself, and God to you. ²Nor will your judgment fail to reach to God, for you will give the role to Him you see in His creation. ³Do not choose amiss, or you will think that it is you who are creator in His place, and He is then no longer Cause but only an effect. ⁴Now healing is impossible, for He is blamed for your deception and your guilt. ⁵He Who is Love becomes the source of fear, for only fear can now be justified. ⁶Vengeance is His. ⁷His great destroyer, death. ⁸And sickness, suffering and grievous loss become the lot of everyone on earth, which He abandoned to the devil’s care, swearing He will deliver it no more.

6. Come unto Me, My children, once again, without such twisted thoughts upon your hearts. ²You still are holy with the Holiness Which fathered you in perfect sinlessness, and still surrounds you with the Arms of peace. ³Dream now of healing. ⁴Then arise and lay all dreaming down forever. ⁵You are he your Father loves, who never left his home, nor wandered in a savage world with feet that bleed, and with a heavy heart made hard against the love that is the truth in you. ⁶Give all your dreams to Christ and let Him be your Guide to healing, leading you in prayer beyond the sorry reaches of the world.

7. He comes for Me and speaks My Word to you. ²I would recall My weary Son to Me from dreams of malice to the sweet embrace of everlasting Love and perfect peace. ³My Arms are open to the Son I love, who does not understand that he is healed, and that his prayers have never ceased to sing his joyful thanks in unison with all creation, in the holiness of Love. ⁴Be still an instant. ⁵Underneath the sounds of harsh and bitter striving and defeat there is a Voice that speaks to you of Me. ⁶Hear this an instant and you will be healed. ⁷Hear this an instant and you have been saved.

8. Help Me to wake My children from the dream of retribution and a little life beset with fear, that ends so soon it might as well have never been. ²Let Me instead remind you of eternity, in which your joy grows greater as your love extends along with Mine beyond infinity, where time and distance have no meaning. ³While you wait in sorrow Heaven’s melody is incomplete, because your song is part of the eternal harmony of love. ⁴Without you is creation unfulfilled. ⁵Return to Me Who never left My Son. ⁶Listen, My child, your Father calls to you. ⁷Do not refuse to hear the Call for Love. ⁸Do not deny to Christ what is His Own. ⁹Heaven is here and Heaven is your home.

9. Creation leans across the bars of time to lift the heavy burden from the world. ²Lift up your hearts to greet its advent. ³See the shadows fade away in gentleness; the thorns fall softly from the bleeding brow of him who is the holy Son of God. ⁴How lovely are you, child of Holiness! ⁵How like to Me! ⁶How lovingly I hold you in My Heart and in My Arms. ⁷How dear is every gift to Me that you have made, who healed My Son and took him from the cross. ⁸Arise and let My thanks be given you. ⁹And with My gratitude will come the gift first of forgiveness, then eternal peace.

10. So now return your holy voice to Me. ²The song of prayer is silent without you. ³The universe is waiting your release because it is its own. ⁴Be kind to it and to yourself, and then be kind to Me. ⁵I ask but this; that you be comforted and live no more in terror and in pain. ⁶Do not abandon Love. ⁷Remember this; whatever you may think about yourself, whatever you may think about the world, your Father needs you and will call to you until you come to Him in peace at last.
