The Doom

[kotori]

--Why am I doomed. 'Tisn't my fault I'm a bastard.

--All bastards are doomed. They're like babies that weren't baptised. They're sent to Limbo for eternity and there's no way out and it's not their fault. It makes you wonder about God up there on His throne with no mercy for the little unbaptised babies . . . Anyway, you're doomed. Your father and mother had the excitement and they weren't married, so you're not in a state of grace.

--What am I going to do?

--Nothing. You're doomed.

--Can't I light a candle or something?

--You could try the Blessed Virgin. She's in charge of the Doom.

Men.

They're the cause of doom.

Angry, bitter men wrote the rules.

A loving God wouldn't condemn you to doom, IMO.

But an angry, bitter man would.

You're in luck Kotori. Today's the feast of the Annunciation. On this day - the anniversary of the conception of Jesus by the Holy Ghost, when Mary said "Yes", like every woman who conceives should - you are able to ask for your parents liasion to be retrosepctively recognised as legitimate, even for a temporal period - which extends at least three days either side of the shag-date.

Go and ask your priest and see if I'm not right.

It called "The temporary marriage of the bastard's parents indulgence" - I think there's a few decades of the rosary to say.

Don't worry K, if everything the Church says is true we're all doomed anyway, so heaven would be boring.

Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regnum tuum: fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen. Ya just have to do it in Latin for it to count at all, at all.

Whoa....how in the heck do you know about these things? Sounds to me like I need to invest in a better calendar.

This is a pagan thing, the four quarter points of the year:
12-25, 3-25, 6-25 and 9-25. Birth of the Sun King (taken over by the Christines as Jesus' birth), Vernal Equinox (taken over as Assumption), Birth of the Dark King (taken as Feast of St. John the Baptist, the alternate Christ) and Autumnal Equinox, now Michelmas.

Not like it was that long ago.

But what did the priest tell Frankie McCourt? That English was the language of the Saxon oppressor, Irish was the language of patriots, but it was the Latin that'll get you into Heaven.

i was in second grade in 1991. we still learned the prayers in latin and had latin masses during lent.

Aw, thankies. Glad that there are people out there who think my site's kewl.

1991 - that must have been a really conservative place sexielexie.

My daugter read Angela's ashes when she was 15 and I was still drinking. She wrote me a letter,

"Dear Dad,
I know you are in a lot of pain and things have been very hard for you, but I am very frightened when you drink so much......"

I cried too.
It took me another few years to manage to stop, even after that.

But you did, and so fair play to you, freescorfr; congratz.

[christophe]

Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, caesari, et quae sunt Dei, Deo!

De profundis

 

[freescorfr]

Reddite ergo quae sunt Caesaris, caesari, et quae sunt Dei, Deo!

De profundis

The prayer of the doomed, the "de profundis".

I suppose it's the prayer of the hopeful but not optimistic.

Caesar and God. The problem was Caesar was a god.

I prefer the choice between God and mammon. I'll settle for a couple of million mammon.

Thanks for the wee message of congrats, Kotori.
