Dear Beloved Friends,
I arrived safely in Rome on the second of April. The weather is lovely, but a pall hangs over the city as world leaders arrive to pay respects to the Pope. I have taken out rooms in a hotel near the Vatican. I was surprised I was able to get a reservation, but with YHVH all things are possible!
The American president is coming soon. He will be allowed in to view the Pontiff before the thousands of devoted Catholics who have been waiting outside for hours (and some, for days).
Hail Caesar.
The fate of the world might hang in the balance in these next ten days. No, the Catholic Church does not have the power it once had, but the Pope is still the highest visible leader of Christians, what he says-and now, who he will be- will influence millions of Catholics worldwide. The Americans are determined to have their say in the affairs of other nations, if they could influence even the Pope, they will.
I can't get into the Sistine Chapel during the voting, but I will do my best to make sure G-d's will is fulfilled and I will continue to pray.
What is G-d's will?
For whoever is chosen to be a man who will strive to be obedient only to G-d and to his own consience, not to any worldly power or pressure group. A man who will continue John Paul II's efforts to heal relations between Jews and Christians, but will also strive to make women equal with men. As Yeshua said "In G-d, there is no male or female, Jew or Greek."
The world is simply not ready for a female Pope, perhaps someday but there are other things to do first. I do wonder what would be different if it were called the "Chair of Mary" not the Chair of Peter, though.
I feel the pain all around me. Thousands of people, so lost and confused.
I came back to find Him, but I know that I must help these people as well. Someone has to do what He would do, since he isn't here to do it himself.
Love,
Mary
I'm working on revising some of her older entries, since I'm refining my idea of who she is. She IS going to be writing a small book. I know a supposed "Gospel of Mary" exists, but a) no one is sure she actually wrote it and b) this is a TM version, to help me give more structure to her entries.
When the time comes for me to take her out of TM, she will leave her rp storylines by dying. I don't know how or when yet but I know that when I finally get RL work again I *will* have to give up some of my fan fiction muses and I know that I can't give up Lou. I'd like to start putting those things in motion, but in slow, subtle ways, when I have time and inclination :)
