The Gospel of Mary doesn’t whisper—it dismantles. Jesus rejected legalism, Mary defied the apostles, and yet here we are still begging for spiritual permission slips. Virgin Monk Boy asks: who told you holiness had a dress code?
I thought I'd commented as if I did please forgive me because I don't see it here, thank you for your article. I needed to hear that and God knew it. He brought me to your article. Take care. God bless.
Oh Sharon, if comments could reincarnate, yours just did—and with better punctuation this time.
No need for forgiveness here, only celebration. You arrived exactly when you were meant to. Divine timing’s a funny thing—it’s like grace in a Wi-Fi signal: delayed, glitchy, but always exactly on time.
If God brought you here, then He clearly wanted a break from televangelists and needed a hit of rebel mysticism. I’m honored to be the strange stop on your sacred GPS. Come back anytime—your seat’s still warm.
Thank you ! The diesel stealing also extends to every gas station if you don't have at least 100 in bank account you must pay cash as it won't work ! Sad they have to do that , sad so many of us don't necessarily have 100 in bank account , I used to have a bit more than basic poverty income but I can not get out my catch 22 situation
Sharon, a $100 hold to prove you're worthy of diesel? That’s not fueling up—that’s a credit check disguised as a gas pump. You’re not broke. The system is.
I have some abilities to know what's going to happen but it was always bad stuff so I buried when I was 16 , I've been trying to pull it back out but not certain in want to it's hard basically being alone , 65 with quite a lot going on physically , I did not expect to be alone but I believe in living where your at -after God is running this show
Sharon, you are not alone. I married young and quickly had two babies. But the man i married was abusive both physically and mentally. Eventually he asked for a divorce but we had been married far too many years. I quickly escaped the abuse. I still carry the scars, and unfortunately so do my kids. I am about your age, and also disabled. I understand what you are going through, and if you ever need to talk i would be happy to listen. You might have to remind me who are though. Hope this helps, at least a bit. 💕
Thank you J. It does I am forever altered because I stayed to long in my last one - older tried to work it out but a malignant narcissist that almost killed me ! Thank you Lord for seeing me through ! No children with that one thank God -he is one
May you be blessed with thick cushions that allow you to sit for many years on that holy throne of high sass. Magdalene is surely enjoying this new voice she gets to express through.
Oh Jane… bless you and your prophetic eye for divine derrières! Truly, it takes a throne of reinforced sass support to channel Magdalene in full regalia. And yes, she is enjoying this — probably reclining with a goblet of unbothered wisdom, whispering, “Drag them lovingly, my child.”
Your blessing has been received. I shall remain seated in sacred sarcasm until further revelations arise.
My soul needed this, this morning. Surrounded by so much “sludge” and interference noise esp from those who purport to speak for God, The “grace WiFi” came thru this piece when I was least expecting it to remind me , “you are not alone in this. Stay strong. I made you bold for a reason. Re-member, the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” Thank you, my friend. ✍🏽🙏🏽
Elizabeth Schrader, while doing research for a college dissertation, discovered that, in the earliest fragments of the Gospel of John, Maria (Mary’s name in Greek) had been changed to Martha (the iota changed to theta) and that there were other alterations in what is now chapter 11 so that it was Maria who proclaimed that Jesus was the Christ, the son of God, who is coming into the world (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/harvard-theological-review/article/abs/was-martha-of-bethany-added-to-the-fourth-gospel-in-the-second-century/6CBD2C9576A583DD02987FE836C427B7 which I learned about in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSH-nfdh_S0; in an earlier of Diana Butler Bass’ sermons, she said that there was a fishing village on the shores of the Sea of Galilee called Magdala and that Herod built the city of Tiberius about 3 miles from it—so there may still be a dispute whether Magdalene meant “tower” or “from Magdala”.)
🔥 Yes, Michael! Schrader’s work is like catching the Gospel mid-edit—Maria doing all the theological heavy lifting, only to get Martha’d by scribes with a patriarchy problem.
And “Magdalene” meaning tower? Of course. She was the tower. The editors just couldn’t handle a woman being both the heart and the backbone of resurrection theology.
Yes! Thank you for continually reminding us of these truths. We make it so much harder on ourselves than it needs to be with all that spiritual gatekeeping nonsense.
Thank you, Aleks. You have it in ways that Peter and the following bishops never succeeded in understanding. The Soul can find Her Way where gatekeepers cannot tread. Blessings fall all around you! 🏵️

You deserve fuel without a financial trust fall.
Stay holy, even when the tank’s on E.

But I'd really like to get out this country before he begins locking us up - was thinking Canada because I can still fight him there

Exactly what I needed to hear today… in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. 🙏
Hallelujah. ❤️
