What This Talk is About
In June of 2020, we sponsored an online Christian Science talk given by Leide Lessa, CSB, an international speaker and member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.
Every day, we’re faced with making decisions. Some are easy, but others can cause long sleepless nights. Explore God as the all-knowing Mind and your natural capacity to know God’s loving guidance, in order to make decisions with peace of mind.

About Leide Lessa, CSB
My piano teacher saw my distress about my father’s illness. Then she offered me a Herald of Christian Science and invited me to Sunday School. I was 12 years old. In Sunday School I learned how to mark the Bible Lesson. I applied what I studied to my father and me, and a few months later he was healed. There began my love for Christian Science and its healing method.
At the age of 16 I became a member of The Mother Church, and when I was 18, I moved alone to Vienna, Austria, where I attended Sunday School at First Church, studied Translation at the Vienna University, and Composition at the Vienna Music College. Three years later a dear family invited me to spend time with them in the USA. I went to State University of NY at Stony Brook for a semester. Back in Brazil I finished college and studied 5 years in graduate school.
I owned a Language Institute in São Paulo for 10 years, but then felt the call to enter in the full-time practice. I’m a public practitioner, listed in the Journal and Heralds, since July 1998. I work at the Publishing Society and in the past 5 years I’ve been the Managing Editor of The Herald of Christian Science, published regularly in 14 languages. Besides Portuguese and English, I also speak Spanish, German, and French.
My love for God, humankind, and Christian Science led me to the 2009 Normal class.
