Confession

Father, please forgive me for I have sinned.

You know father, I love the fact I live near your church. At first, it’s nice because every 6am, I hear songs of praise. And since I’m a sucker for classics, church choirs songs are a a plus especially when you just woke up. They leave an ethereal feeling like I’m on drugs or something. But what makes them better is that mom’s stupid African birds are less annoying than they usually were. I’ve always thought of cooking them for breakfast. But killing is a sin and it would break my mom’s heart if I killed them all and break their feathers apart. Because she loves them and they cost too much.

But, you know, lately, for some reason, all I hear from morning ’til night are novenas and rosary prayers. To be blunt, I don’t like them. I don’t ass-fucking goddamn like hearing them. The fact that they recite the prayers in an incredible speed and uncomprehending lyrics, again and again, drives me fucking insane. I can’t concentrate with whatever things I’m doing like taking a crap or something. There had been several times within this day that I’ve imagined sinful thoughts like shooting them all dead or slitting the throat of the one holding the microphone and leading the prayer. And then, shower his blood to those lots holding rosaries and singing with him.

So father, if possible, please help me and drive these evil thoughts out of my head.  Please try talking to them and tell them, “For the love of all things holy, SHUT THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! And PLEASE be considerate of those who live in the area.” Or else, I’ll really go insane and really do it. Really. Just so you know, I’m not trying to threaten you or anything, I just want let you know, we do keep a few samurais at home and I know where exactly they were kept.  Please give me some real advice or something than a “be patient” because obviously, I’m running out of it. Oh and father, please don’t make me recite prayers too much. I hate repeating stuff.

And lastly, father, please tell the people reading this not to take me seriously because God made a flaw in creating our world. Of all things to make a flaw on, why did he not make our world idiot safe? Everywhere we go at anytime of any given day, there are bound to be people who can’t take jokes and are huge idiots. Please tell God to save them too.

So, yeah. That’s about all of it, father.

Amen.

    Well, I think they use the microphone so that the people would hear the priest saying:

    Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

    And so the people will be able to reply with:

    For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.

    And it also adds more dramatic impact to God. So He would hear them better. 🙂

    Oh, oh! These are my favorite parts of the mass:

    Take this bread and eat it, for this is my body which I am giving up for you.

    And..

    Take this cup and drink from it. This is the cup of my blood. The blood of the new and everlasting covenant, and it will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven.

    :3

    FYI for everyone:
    In fact, I graduated from a Catholic University, so it is not that odd that I knew these stuff. Stop staring at me. >.> Our teachers forced required us to memorize stuff from simple prayers down to the entire Eucharistic Liturgical Rite. I got scolded by the priest a few times (for reading Wiccan books – I was actually caught reading it) and I’m even a part of the mass choir too (even though I’m tone deaf – because no one wants to join). Sounds fun, isn’t it?

  2. Xian,
    Nakarinig na ko ng pabasa. T^T Nung nakaraan Holy Week, nakalipat na kami nung eh. Tapos, yung dating bahay namin, bago kami lumipat, nasatabi kabilang kanto lang yung bakanteng lote kung san sila nagpapabasa. Pero enjoy din, kasi dun din sila pinapako. :3

    glitch,
    Uy, Blood the Last Vampire live action! Meron! Bago! =D
    Hindi lang ako sure kung luma

  3. I live somewhat near a church as well (a street away approx) … the only sound i hear is the tower bells THANKFULLY x_x;; (you poor thing having to endure that mumbling rosary sound!), when i was small i always thought that old people muttering rosaries sounded like they were repeatedly saying “pssst psst pssss” over and over again xD

  4. I agree…that must be annoying, especially when youre trying to sleep or concentrate! X_X

    im pretty sure he heard your wish and forgives you for it and will do something about it :]

  5. Tuna Caserole,
    I’m hungry. Your name makes me even more hungry. >_<

  8. oops i totally forgot to comment about the prayer~ XD Lol i so agree to you on that one~ want me to help to murder them? XD I’m all up for it right now heheheh~

  9. I agree with this te’euri.. I have to question him too.. why the hell he created idiots? and sometimes I feel like I’m one of them.. but the sanity is different from insanity.. so I think, it’s all fair.We all have our own idiocy.
