This is for a friend of mine who is dealing with grief.  Mary wanted to speak.
*********************************************
I am Mary, the Rose of Magdala (The Magdalene as many know her) is here with you in your time of darkness. I understand the darkness that we share as sisters. I am here with you within the deepest night of the darkest hour. I am the darkest blood-red you can imagine. I am the heart beating within you. I am the soul of your pain. I am the light of the love that shines within you. Remember to reach for me within your "cave" and know that as long as you have hold with me, the light will return ... for I am Light and I am You. You are greatly loved, dear one and your pain is not without notice.
