Prayer Requests
To pray is “essential, not to the salvation of the soul, for the soul is never lost; but to the conscious well-being of the soul that does not understand itself. There is vitality in our communion with the Infinite, which is productive of the highest good. As fire warms the body, as food strengthens us, as sunshine raises our spirits, so there is a subtle transfusion of some invisible force in such communion, weaving itself into the very warp and woof our own mentalities. This conscious commingling of our thought with Spirit is essential to the well-being of every part of us.”
- Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind textbook

FAQ's What is a Practitioner? Practitioners are spiritual counselors who use affirmative prayer, or Spiritual Mind Treatment, to acknowledge the divine perfection within their clients, helping them to realize their oneness with spirit and manifest their specific needs. An International Centers for Spiritual Living Practitioner is bound by a high code of ethics to respect your confidence, and is dedicated to the cause of helping others. All licensed practitioners have completed a minimum of three years of training and one year of internship. Intern practitioners have completed a minimum of three years of training and are currently in their internship program. How can I benefit from practitioner work? A practitioner will enable you to see conflicts from a different perspective, often as the negative belief patterns which create them. After compassionately hearing your situation and discussing the desires you have, he or she will hold your vision for you, affirming that the peace, joy, and abundance you desire are yours. In addition, a practitioner will provide you with tools to use in your spiritual practice that will promote continued healing and instigate the positive thought patterns necessary to demonstrate your highest good. Each Sunday we have a Practitioner of the Day, who is available following the 10:30 a.m. program to provide short complimentary treatments with you, and we invite you to avail yourself of their services. During the week, our ministers and practitioners are here to meet and treat with you via phone or in person. There is a customary fee for their service, which honors their professional licensure. No one, will be denied treatment for inability to pay. Practitioner Interns are available without a fee for the purpose of gaining experience. Revs. Mary Beth and Michael Speer are also available for pastoral counseling. Please call the DuPage Center office for an appointment.
