A free Christian Science talk
Learning to Love Your Enemies
Loving your enemies can sometimes feel impossible. Christian Science proves that loving your enemy is not only possible, it is natural. But what does it look like to lead with Love? The study of this divine Science and answering Christ Jesus’ call to “love your enemies” in your life replaces anger, hurt, and injustice with forgiveness, freedom, and peace.

Love heals.
"The camp doctor had predicted that the resulting scars would be there for the rest of my life. Since they were on my back, I never gave them much thought. So I was all the more surprised when I discovered one day that, after I'd found mental freedom from any lingering resentment and was able to freely forgive, those physical scars had also totally disappeared. They had been there for over 20 years.”
About the speaker
Giulia Nesi Tetreau, CSB
I’ve always loved people—their life stories, their struggles, their successes. I regularly meet individuals actively cultivating their spiritual life. And I love sharing Science and Health with them!
I see much of my own journey in these seekers. A few years into my career in the mental health field, despite having achieved professional success, I felt empty inside. I had everything I’d been taught would make me happy but instead was dissatisfied and restless, yearning for something deeper. That’s when I was introduced to Christian Science through Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by religious reformer, Mary Baker Eddy. In it, I found a shared sacred space with the author and experienced a profound sense of coming home.
Some years later, I was compelled to leave my psychotherapy practice to focus completely on my Christian Science healing practice. It was an imperative demand from within me—I had to be true to myself. “His word is in my heart like a fire…I am weary of holding it in.”* I needed to practice in the way I understood would be most helpful.
Since then, sharing the revolutionary message contained in the pages of Science and Health has been the cornerstone of my life. I helped oversee the worldwide activity of bringing the book to a wider public audience. I also managed a special project established to respond to the growing interest from healthcare professionals in learning more about Christian Science. I've lectured to the public in a variety of settings and venues, from prisons to professional healthcare audiences and everything in between. I love all of it!
