7Gates: That You Might ‘Know Thyself’
Prayer For Three Marys
In Memoriam:
Mary Sue Bello, Mary Bridgett Meehan & Mary Exzetta West
Noble Mary, when your breath stops,
Your life withdraws back to your soul.
Enter between earth and heaven,
Where everything looks like the sky.
Your mind becomes completely clear
To the light of God's holy love.
You might receive prolonged judgment.
You might escape coming back to Earth.
You see your family mourning.
You see your corpse in a gully.
Your murderer returns to your corpse.
Do not look backwards to this life.
You will never be coming back.
Cast away your fear and terror.
Cling to the hand of your Maker.
Keep praying as you have been taught.
Your God loves you, knowing your deeds.
Your true nature is glorious.
From that Holy embrace you hear
the voice of God calling your name,
Mary, Mary, many echoes
From a thousand narrow canyons,
Calling you to move past this life.
You listen, and enter heaven.
