CHAPTER FOURTEEN: HE DIED – TO LIVE AGAIN MARY MAGDALENE AND THE OTHER MARY Our Master lies asleep and is at rest: His heart has ceased to bleed, his eyes to weep; The sun ashamed has dropped down in the west; Our Master lies asleep. Now we are they who weep and trembling…
Spirituality takes many forms – silence, breath prayer, visualization, and healing touch. Authentic spirituality embraces the body as well as spirit and mind.

CHAPTER Thirteen And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
