Aug. 1st, 2006 09:09 pmThe worst thing about being a stupid asshole is that you can't take it back. Every gesture and syllable and keystroke is yours, and what you did when losing a fight with bitterness and anger and loneliness cannot be undone by any power in the created world. Every ounce of pain and anguish you cause for yourself and everyone you love must be carried by them and by you, and nothing can erase it. No heir of Peter has power to bind or to loose it, and no modern apostle can absolve it.
And so poverty comes into the world. And fear, and subjugation and wickedness and everything that defiles and desecrates humanity. And those who aren't strong enough to overcome it remain alone.
I am weak. I remain alone.
And I pray you, God of Babylon and Ararat, make whole what you made broken, and break what must be remade. Purge us by whatever means your divine majesty and unceasing fidelity will allow, and make us, by the Death of thy Son and the devotion of thy servants, your Children on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
