Thanks to those who read and again extra thanks to those who reviewed. It is greatly appreciated. This chapter carries a health warning. Attempting to get inside Mary Kane's head can seriously damage your mental health.

Our father who art in heaven

I glorify your name and obey your teaching that life is sacred.

Karen Lynott died but she was a handmaiden of Satan

And all such should perish.

She chose to ignore your will in creating life.

Those who kill the unborn destroy your creation.

They kill without mercy and must be punished

Yea even unto the third and fourth generation.

An eye for an eye is your justice

I have striven to carry out your will and you have blessed me

After all these years I carry a child in my womb

And will bring him or her up to glorify your name.

I pray that you will forgive me for what I am about to do.

To survive to make my child an instrument of thy word I must betray those who trusted me.

I know you will understand what I do because St Peter denied Christ three times

But then he became a true follower and martyr

And I have never denied you.

Those who I must betray will be punished in this world

But as they face their persecution their faith will shine out as a beacon.

Those of us who fight for your word are few.

But many will see our cause as just and we will emerge glorious in victory.

I loved my husband but he was as good as dead.

When I slept with another man it was not for lust.

It was to ensure that your word would be carried out.

Even then I was worshipping you and was an instrument of your will.

I pray for Paul – I know his soul will with you as he enters into his glorious martyrdom.

He is a good man and deserving of your praise.

I will promise never to forsake your word.

Those of us who follow your light will triumph over the forces of darkness

For the righteous will flourish in thy kingdom which we will make on earth.

My child was a sign that you have truly blessed me and for that I give thanks

Lord have mercy on me a sinner

And when my time has come gather me to thy bosom.

Thanks for reading. If you have a moment a review would be gratefully received.
