Wednesday, March 29, 2006 ::: this is no humble prayer
all of you guys know that i am probably the least religious out of all of you ... some of you might even consider me anti-religion ... so it may surprise you that i posted this up
sometimes, things happen to us or to people that we know ... usually, the lucky ones only have to deal w/ petty troubles ... still others, have to deal w/ some issues that most of us would prefer to ignore ... ... and altho we might really really want to help, sometimes there really is absolutely nothing we can do ...
... so when we are beyond the domain of man's effect, we appeal to the power of a higher being ... some may call this a weakness - a defence mechanism to believe that everything will work out in the end ... some may call this naive ... still, sometimes this is the only thing we can do
so for those that read this, please share in my prayer
for the victims of gun violence
for the victims of child abuse
for the victims of rape
for the souls of aborted babies
and the mothers that feel they cannot have them
for kids living on the street
and for kids on their way there
for drug users and abusers
for kids that have lost their way
for kids with clinical illnesses
for patients with cancer
for patients with aids
for the old and venerable
for the poor and diseased
for the candidates of euthanasia
for the people we've lost
for the people we're about to lose
for the hated and misunderstood
for the parents that try
for the kids of parents that don't
for all those suffering, that they may be relieved from their pains
and for those that cause suffering, may God grant them the clemency they don't deserve
for this we pray
--- there is evil and wickedness out there, my personal prayer is that they may burn in all layers of hell and be spit back out to endure a lifetime of suffering that they've inflicted
