Listen to the Stars

Shhh!!!

Quiet!!!

Listen to the stars.

They talk softly.

Don't they talk softly?

Listen as their beams

Pass lightly over

The lawns in our neighborhoods

Of silence.

Behind the doors.

The seemingly broken doors,

Folded into the prayers,

The seemingly broken prayers,

In the silence of God

Rising slowly above

The stars' beams

To create a soft sense

Of peace within us.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
