dying

Away Flew Mary is not a typical Regnum Christi (RC) essay addressing a specific virtue or offering instruction to members. Mary’s story is simply a personal testimony of walking through daily life to death with my Regnum Christi sister, Mary Alwan. This is a reflection of a faith-based friendship, started in the RC Movement, that was deepened and strengthened through the carrying of the cross. We each know that God works in our lives daily, but in His way and in His time. It is our responsibility to enter the silence, be in His presence, and listen to Him as he speaks. The Holy Spirit gave me the graces to write this story for my own spiritual and emotional healing. Until now it has been shared only with Mary’s daughters and a few others. It has laid undisturbed, on my bookshelf, for six years now, until now.
