Mary of Bethany has personal demons.
This story begins with tragedy, grief, deception, unspeakable pain,.
We call them hate, fear, lust, greed, revenge, selfishness, and shaming self-blame.
They are born out of our trauma and abuse.
They are the demons that worm their way into hearts and destroy lives, demons that torment the souls of men, even now.
In this story, they are not demons that are loud, demanding, or obvious.
The Bible tells that Jesus cast seven demons from Mary.
