Let me get this straight first: anything done by another person to another person that causes evil consequences cannot be the sole action by the doer, although of course, in the law and the eyes of society, the doer is entirely responsible. A person, although possessing of free will, can be influenced by dark forces, entities that are bent on causing destruction on men. They can’t directly destroy, so they use susceptible individuals to do their work. If a nice song can place you on a good mood, or a witty quotation can make you realize profound wisdom, how much more can a weak person resist the whisperings from a more subtle, often time unbeknownst enemy that has knowledge of your weaknesses and desires, and has the power to use them against you?

I have encountered a person who easily can cause rage in any person that one encounters. You know, unbridled anger is one of the sins that the enemy would want to spread, for this emotion is one of the most immediately destructive of the seven capital sins. The often educated, decent look of this person belies the enraging capability that I don’t know whether that one really knows what that one is doing or is acting on invisible suggestion. Curious, I traced this person’s personal history.

That person has experienced cruelty from the mother, who took revenge on the poor soul for being left by the father. I think the mother made every moment with her child a living purgatory, thwarting that one’s every wish, endeavor, and search for happiness. Eventually, that person was able to escape after persuading the father to send this person to boarding school.

Now, after being a retired professor, which all the more accentuated the obnoxiousness, that person has been continuing the forbears’ damaging act by engendering anger in others, doing the most illogical acts unexpected of the member of the academe and spouting hurtful and scandalous words whenever being confronted by kith and kin. This in turn adversely affected that family, where more than one offspring turned out destructive lives.

Now, meeting this person, how can one undo such pitiful history where I truly believe, the enemy has seeded therein the dragon’s teeth. How can one act and feel in the face of such ignorant hate and subconscious yearning for revenge for a life made to suffer? Is there anyone there who can give me a satisfactory answer because even one has faith in the army behind him, the power of the opposing force has begun to cow the spiritual bravery that one used to have in abundance?

I wish I can get some answers, because, I don’t know how long I can hold in the face of the onslaught of this person who has come within the orbit of my existence, and of whom I suspect of being used by the infernal forces to sow hatred and chaos in our vicinity. I try hard to understand, forgive, and avoid this person, but it is as if the opportunities of us running into each other just happen as if orchestrated. And to make matters worst, as I was writing this, computer screen was going haywire, even though it is supposed to be okay.

I find comfort in what Our Lord Jesus said on the Cross before expiring for the forgiveness of Mankind: “God, forgive them, for they know not what they’re doing.”

Tears fell unbidden
As joy and sadness kin
Welled up in me long hidden
As if a second of Heaven's din.

Singing the Kyrie Eleison
Recalling my seminary days
My iniquity the reason
My eyes rained that way.

Tears fell on my palms
Asking forgiveness for my frailty
Cool consoling they calm
Mercy for atheist humanity.

Shut my eyes hard
Frame racking with sobs
A Dazzling Eye in my dark guard
My sorrows It robs.

Thank You for Presence
Shown to this humble servant
How precious the microsecond Essence
Listening to Greek Latin chant.

Write
Write
Write
In my mind I heard bright
Others will continue this right
Thank You for my short sight.

God gave me hatred
Because I can handle it
I see it for what it is
An emotion
Needs to be
Detoxified
Out of my system
And of others
You can count on Me.

Others were given
Instead of cleansing
They're too weak to chain it
And make it
Harmless
They spread it around
Bullying
Discriminating
Raping
Envying
More hating.

I will do otherwise
Ensure
This hatred
Destroys not
The Beauty
Of
Life
Around
In
Me.

Yes,
I have failed in the past
But now
You can count on Me.

Are you familiar with the Gospel story where Jesus was in a pharisee's house and then the woman He saved from stoning came and kissed His feet, showered Him with expensive perfume, and wiped His feet with her hair?

I heard it yesterday and I couldn't help but be taken by it to tears.

I could never go wrong in respecting and loving women, for My God Himself is the Divine Feminist. He uplifted the status of women in a patriarchically oppressive society.

Until now, there is still exploitation and oppression of women all over the world.

It's time to do the Will of Jesus, and save our women from the fate they don't deserve from the hands of indifference, insensitivity, and selfishness, and obscurity of the purpose of physical strength.

In fact that woman is not sinful. She is unto Herself. And Jesus honored her.

Thank You, God, for granting my prayer to have a job. It's my first day today at work and I dedicate this to you.

Thank You, Lord, for bringing me back to my children. I see they really want to be with me, and I am happy to see to their needs. With this, I can be more like you.

Thank You, Almighty, for inspiring me to write and to bring joy and happiness, company and affirmation, to other people, so that the world would have one less sad soul, and to win souls for You.

I pray to You, My King, to grant a little favor for my Wife. She wants a Baby Girl, and we have been trying so long to have another baby, I hope now She can bear Your Child, a gift to Us aging parents. I love You, Sweet Baby, and I thank You My God, in advance. I Pray also may She be a healthy baby Girl.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.
