TESTIMONIES OF HEALING
Siento enorme  gratitud, por la ayuda que me ha brindado Rick Mannerino, como practicista
de La Ciencia Cristiana
En múltiples ocasiones en que le he solicitado su apoyo, por encontrarme con problemas de
salud, emocionales o de familia, han sido resueltos inmediatamente y de la mejor forma.
Recuerdo, en una ocasión en que me encontraba con intenso dolor en la vesícula; el médico
y mi familia pensaron en la cirugía; pedí a mi hija llamara por teléfono a Rick y en pocos
minutos, no tenía ningún  dolor.
También, hace  pocos días, pasaba por un estado emocional muy intenso :confusión, tristeza,
desilusión;oraba para sentirme bien, pero no lograba separarme del cuadro humano,
entonces , pedí ayuda a Rick y el mismo día pude sentir la paz y el amor de Dios dándome
fortaleza, recordé también que Dios siempre tiene el control de todo.
Gracias Rick Mannerino por ayudarme a acrecentar mi confianza en Dios y por la eficacia de
tu oración.

I met Rick Mannerino in December of 2000 when we were both working for UBS PaineWebber
as Financial Advisors. I had just gotten out of the Navy and was medically discharged because
of a serious knee injury that prevented me from doing my job. The Navy was going to pay for
my surgery and I almost went through with it, but I had some reservations about having the
operation.  Never the less my knee constantly reminded me that it was really hurting,
sometimes more than others.
In February of 2001, the pain became unbearable. On a scale of 1-10 the pain was an 11.  
The knee was locking up on me as well. I had to take the elevator up to the 3rd floor where
Rick and I worked; I preferred to take the stairs but it was too difficult to keep my leg straight
and endure the consequences.
One day Rick approached me and asked why I was hobbling all over the place. I explained to
him that my knee was giving me a lot of trouble and why.  He replied that there was nothing
wrong with it. Frankly I got a little upset with Rick when he said that because I thought he was
telling me that I was soft. What I soon found out changed my life. He said that he would work
for me and that I would see that my knee is fine. I have to admit I thought Rick was nuts when
he told me this. “What do you mean your going to take care of it?”  I asked.  He mentioned
that I am God’s reflection, and that I should concentrate on knowing that God never made a
knee capable of being injured.  I figured why not I'm in so much pain what have I got to lose.
That night I refused to give audience to the pain, instead I just saw it as F.E.A.R false
evidence appearing real. What happened the next morning changed my whole belief
structure, and has since turned me into a 100% believer of the healing power of the Christ.
When I awoke the pain was gone and since then I have not experienced any pain in my left
knee. For the past six years I have been running, swimming, surfing and enjoying all of the
physical activities that I have always enjoyed.
This is only one incident of many that Rick has helped me with over the last 6 years. I'm glad I
met Rick when I did, I don't know physically where I would be right now if it wasn't for this proof
of God’s healing presence.  --  Bob Nichols, Commercial Pilot

It was Christmas Eve and I was not singing and happy like everyone else.  I was sitting in my
room holding my puppy crying my eyes out.  Jasmine, my puppy, was sick and I was sad and
afraid because in the past I have had puppies die after exhibiting some of the symptoms that
Jasmine was showing.  
I was seriously considering taking her to the veterinarian because I had been praying for her
for hours and I was seeing no progress, until my sister suggested that I call a practitioner.  I
decided to call Rick Mannerino whom I have called in the past when I was having problems.  In
a very short time Rick had figured out that the only thing keeping Jasmine from getting any
better was my fear, and told me that as soon as I was calm and trusting in God that Jasmine
would show improvement.  He also said he would get right to work.  So I left Jasmine with my
sister and went into another room to study and pray.  I stopped being so scared that
something bad was going to happen to her and started knowing that just like me, Jasmine is a
perfect expression of good and that God is ever-present!  As soon as my fear went away
Jasmine started getting more playful and lively, she was getting back to her normal self --
instead of it being a long process, drawn out for weeks, she got better within the hour.
In conclusion, I would just like to express how grateful I am for Christian Science and all the
wonderful truths that I have learned.

Dear Rick,
Thank you for taking the time to pray for me, and for lending an ear during the time in my life
when I needed your assistance.  As I was going through my struggle it helped to know that
there was someone (you) who believed that the allergic reaction I was experiencing was an
unwelcome guest, and had no claim to me. Through your work, my perception regarding the
power of thought has been broadened; for that I am thankful.

As I come from a non-Christian Scientist background, you were initially met with many
questions regarding how prayerful treatment works.  Once work began, not once did I doubt
the seriousness in which you applied yourself to my case.  The passion you hold for your life's
work, and the high standard of excellence that you subject yourself to is unmistakable.   
Please continue to do what you do.

With appreciation,
Lisa Chan, Ph.D.

Thanks to the insight gained through spiritual growth I have been able to experience
wonderful demonstrations of Life’s ever present harmony.  Two years ago when I was looking
for a job I decided to seek the metaphysical support of Christian Science practitioner, Rick
Mannerino.  I had already been sending resumes to a few places but nothing seemed to be a
good fit.  At the same time, I was also afraid of ending up at a job that was not fulfilling enough
or that did not pay a fair salary.

When I started working with Rick, he reminded me that my place was already firmly secured in
divine Life and Love, and therefore I was not separated for a second from the fulfillment,
abundance, and harmony I was looking for in a job.  He reminded me that there were not two
different entities, me a “job-seeker” and “an employer”, waiting to be matched or found; but as
spiritual ideas “… in him [God] we live and move, and have our being;” (Acts 17:28).  I worked
steadily with these thoughts trying to understand all of their possible manifestations.  Then I
realized that previously I had been focused on finding “a job” (to feel a sense of
accomplishment and stability), while my real job, Life’s career for me, was already taking
place.  My responsibility was to understand the unity that we have with divine Love and to
practice the daily tasks of expressing such unity; this is what our daily life is really about.  A
few days later, while I was walking my dog around my block I noticed a sign for a local non-
profit company.  I was curious to find out more about it so I went in and inquired about their
volunteer opportunities. To my surprise, the receptionist referred me to two very interesting
open positions for full time work.  I ended up applying for one of the positions, and in a
relatively short amount of time I got the job.  As it turns out, I was hired for a position which
had requirements beyond my educational and real life experiences – which was a blessing
because I was eager for a challenge and for the opportunity to grow.  In addition, I was offered
a salary that was beyond my expectations.

Christian Science has been a crucial part of my life, at many levels, even in simple day-to-day
events like the time I thought I had lost my dog.  My dog has been with us for the past 2 years.
She’s grown dear to my husband and I, and yes, in a way she is part of our family.  Not long
ago, when my husband was abroad on a business trip, our dog woke me up in the middle of
the night because she needed to go out to pee.  Half asleep, I put my shoes on and went out
with her to our front yard.  In a matter of seconds she jumped over the fence and
disappeared. I waited a few minutes but when I realized she wasn’t coming back.  I started to
panic, as she is not street trained and I was afraid she was going to get run over by a car. We
live a block away from a very busy section of the city.  Since there are many bars and
restaurants that are usually packed until late hours, there is always a steady flow of traffic.  I
started to walk up and down the street calling her name and asking people if they had seen
her.  By now I was trying to affirm some of the ideas I had learned in my study of Christian
Science but I couldn’t concentrate. I was too stressed and afraid.  So I called Rick.  As usual,
he firmly and kindly helped me affirm that our dog, as a spiritual idea of God, was never
separated from divine Love.  Therefore, there was nothing, no cars nor traffic that could harm
her.  This is such a basic Christian Science principle, yet before I talked to Rick, the fear was
blocking my ability to rest assured in it.  Rick’s metaphysical support allowed me to clearly see
through my fear and affirm Love’s ever present care for my dog.  Within minutes, I saw my dog
standing in front of our door. She was unaffected, happy and wagging her tale.
