She ends her letter with, “And so, I trust the sun will once again rise in the morning, and before it does, I will come stand by your tomb and wait. In expectant love, Mary of Magdala, your devoted disciple.” To find the original written blog or to discover other heartwarming content, head over to the Catholic Country Chronicles website.
