God is Merciful. And Just. We had the readings today and a sermon about the Saints who suffered, and about possible living saints, and I see people in nursing homes who are truly suffering and are lonely (not trying to sound like Frank) yet live on for that ONE MOMENT they can pass on a word of advice, or a hope, to a younger person, and THEY are a testimony and witness to God's Mercy and Justice. THEY suffer for Our Lord; they suffer grievously. And many others suffer silently and give us living witness to carry on through our own tribulations...
and then I see this dead demonic and her dead family on All Saints' Octave/All Souls' Day and am horrified that people are calling THAT "courageous". Or better yet, catholics asking everyone to pray for her "soul". (Isn't it a SIN to pray Good come from evil?)
I'm not praying for that, anymore than I'd ask God to bless a "marriage" of Sodomites. There's real stuff to pray for; we're not instructed to deal with those who have nothing to do with us. What's Our Lord's saying? "Let the dead bury the dead" or something? (Laptop's about to "update" so I can't look it up...) Let the dead bury this ѕυιcιdє; let the dead world rejoice over her "courage". It sickens me, though.
