The disciples were distressed and wept greatly. “If they did not spare him, how will they spare us?” Then Mary stood up. She greeted them all, addressing her brothers and sisters, “Do not weep and be distressed nor let your hearts be irresolute. For his grace will be with you all and will shelter you. Rather we should praise his greatness, for he has prepared us and made us true human beings.” When Mary had said these things, she turned their heart toward the Good.”
–King, Mary of Magdala, 5:1-10
