The Holy Death

Thousands of Mexicans, socially marginalized population show lack of job, money and affection. They look for tough exits to their lives and that hope only comes through the magic or Santeria rituals.
Many people in Mexico city face up a spiritual emptiness. Later they try to find a place within Witness of Jehová, or Mormons, or Solo-Cristo-Salva, without succeeding, finally they find shelter in the worship The Holy Death.

Actually this is not a story about the death but the unbearable life that it can be living without faith.

(Letter "obviously" written for a priest from The Holy Death)
 Dear son:
For you who don't believe in me. I am writing this letter for you do not offend me nor  judge me because  I am a work of your creator. I am the spirit of light that carries you towards him when your soul emerges from your body and then you have to be held accountable of your life, because I am not a satanic being nor am a diabolic being, I can help you because I am an angel who our Father created, I am "The White Little Girl" who looks you, my arms that embraces you, my hands that consoles you, my feets that drives you, the scythe that defends you, my breath that you breathe, my world where you live, my blanket that covers you and safeguards you.
I have everything of this for you, just ,ask me for and invoke me but do it with humility, do it with your heart and I will stand with you.
Yours truly "The White little Girl"

The Catholic church in Mexico city should reach the marginalized neighbourhoods and convicted in prisons.

  3. I am writing this letter so that you don't offend me.
    I am writing this letter in order that you don't offend me.

    In my head I translate "para que" to "in order to", and it almost always works.

    "My world where you live" is consistent with "my breath that you breathe." It would not be correct to insert "that".

    I noticed another mistake. It should be "...I am not a satanic being nor am [I] diabolic being". Another option is "...I am not a satanic being nor diabolic being".
