"We are always One, and I am with you as I have always been, for I came to Earth long ago to be a Light Body, and a holder of the Light.  And while I have appeared at times in a more Earthly form, I have always been the energy of Love, and I have always held that Light for you.

"And you, Beloved Ones, are so beautiful, awakening to that same LoveLight from which you're all made, and which you radiate so beautifully!  And so I thank you for being here in this Gathering, and I invite you to step forward, and to greet my two Beloved Marys as they come before you with my Roses.  They are the Roses of the Kumaras.  They are for you to keep in your Hearts, and by which you are known to the entirety of the Universe, that you came and that you gave your Love, and received the Love of all others here present in service to all of Planet Earth, and the Universe Beyond!  So take as many as you wish.  Let their velvety softness, their fragrance come into your Hearts.  They are yours forever!

"And as you received them, receive also this Blessing, for I represent not only this Company from Higher Dimensions who are here, but Mother/Father God, who created all of us in the image of Love.  And I thank you, and I say, Well done, you beautiful ones, you radiant ones, who are here to Light the way for the World!

"And together, because we have come to join with you on this magnificent journey together, we come through the doorway to that Golden Place from whence you came so long ago.  Thank you, Beloved Ones, and Blessings to you, and know that you are Love, that you are Joy, and that you are indeed loved infinitely and everlastingly!  And so it is! Namaste!"
