May we live in today
and never in the future
or the past,
or come too late
to those we love.
~ from MARY, CALLED MAGDALENE by Margaret George
We were breaking an unspoken social rule. We were talking about God and religion at a time when the stakes were high, when turmoil and confusion were the order of the day. We were harried, busy mothers, but at our meetings we found ourselves released from Time, suspended from the reality of the outside world. ... Our relationship was turning into something sacred, something we began to call our Faith Club.
