Fifty-One Prayers

[whofelltoearth]

I'm sure you've all missed my sermon illustrations so terribly, haven't you? (Sarcasm.) I suppose it's time to deliver, although I haven't been in the mood. It's hard to care for people, isn't it? Because when we care, we hurt.

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. -Isaiah

What a lovely thing to say, dear.

[whofelltoearth]

God bless you, Grace, how have you been?

[just_rosey]

Mostly dead, and yourself?

[whofelltoearth]

Oh, oh God, I'm so sorry, I've been so self-involved I hadn't noticed!

I agree, Abel. I do so agree.

[sohappyforyou]

But what's this about women?

[whofelltoearth]

They're more trouble than they're worth.

[sohappyforyou]

Excuse me?

I was going to hug you, but now I'm going to punch you.

Abel.

[whofelltoearth]

Lady.

[theotokos]

You'll... get your fucking hug. I'll see you.

I made a promise to... baby sit you and I'm going to live up to it.

[whofelltoearth]

I think the one that may need a minder right now is yourself. But I would enjoy very much being near you right now.

[lullabyoflondon]

I think you need a girlfriend, mate.

Don't tell me the Vatican hasn't relaxed that rule by your time.

[whofelltoearth]

I'll have you know I'm incredibly popular with women, Constantine.

But yes, it has changed. Our population reached a bottleneck, we now allow marriage within the clergy. Our Pope is, in fact, the legitimate son of the previous Pope.

[lullabyoflondon]

If by "popular" you mean "eternally trapped in the friend zone."

At least you've got some sense in the religion by then.

[whofelltoearth]

I don't want anything else from them, Constantine, only their friendship and cooperation. Just because I can pursue a relationship does not necessarily mean that I, a man wed to his work, would want to.
