From a Greek Hymn to Isis:

"My Lady, I shall not stop hymning your Mighty Power,
Immortal Saviour, goddess of the many names, almighty Isis,
...
All who are held in the destiny of Death, all in bondage,
all who are racked with pain which will not let them sleep,
...
all these find salvation if they pray for Your present help.
Hear my prayers, You whose Name has Mighty Power,
be propitious to me and free me from all affliction."

Isis speaking to Apuleius, from The Golden Ass, Chapter 47:

"Behold I am come to take pity of thy fortune and tribulation, behold I am present to favour and aid thee, leave off thy weeping and lamentation, put away thy sorrow, for behold the healthfull day which is ordained by my providence, therefore be ready to attend to my commandment."

And finally, this most famous of Isis' sayings:

Come to me all you who are heavy laden, and I will refresh you.

(Written over the entrance to her temple at Dendera, where I have seen it myself).

Wow, sorry I did see that you came up with references to your text.
>>Rastafarian site. Well, you and I might think that more reliable than a Roman Catholic one, but I suspect we are in a small minority. <<
I did quote from a Rastafarian site and it was quite good at the comparison of Isis and Mary. You're really pushing the analogy. I do find it amusing that you are quoting Amazon and calling it "Catholic".
