the Real Presence

Clouds.
The Real Presence.
The sun.

Quiet.

What if you possess everything you want
but also one thing you don't want -
a tortured spirit?

It's an invisible problem.
From the outside,
people will reach different conclusions.

Can you hear my heart?

How about you, demon?

Can I hear it...
I don't think it's even mine.
And for what is this deep hunger?

The Real Presence.

Silence.

call me johnny

Call me Mr. Johnny. I'm a johnny on the spot. I buy some cookies, daily, and give them to the poor. Some people save their lives while I just give them cookies. I don't see why not. The poor don't seem to mind. I also have a demon. I call him Mr. Bitter. I used to call him Superman. But now, I just ignore him, at least, the best I can. It's bad inside his fantasy, and I'm no demonologist. I'm way too simple for that, and so, I just buy cookies. Am I very friendly? Not exactly, no. I don't stay and chat. I just hand out cookies. I guess I have a purpose. It's true it often changes. Sometimes it's five dollars, but, for now, it's cookies. I even have some cigarettes, if cookies aren't your thing. Some homeless ask for both.

God's mercy

What an attack it was, the attack that happened yesterday. This morning, it soon resumed, before I had my coffee. That's pretty freaking early. I tried an approach which helped. Demons are messengers; angel means 'messenger.' If the angel is good, it only reports the truth, and then it goes away. If the angel is bad, it stays and stays and stays, feeding you half-truths and lies. My approach: tell on the messenger. The demon would speak it's message, and I would relay it to Mary. I have a Marian shrine with magnets on my fridge. So I would 'speak' to the fridge. Any word from the demon was reported straight to Mary no matter how sick it was. Get that venom out! Don't hold that poison inside. No matter how evil the message, I transferred the burden to her. It works. I told on the demon, and Mary heard it all. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Undeterred, they continued while I attended the Mass. It's cheap - you try to stay open to receive the grace of God ...

justice

There can be an awful karma to demon justifications, all their rationalizations for why the do what they do (to you). But karma isn't true - it isn't really justice according to a priest. Justice is a virtue, and virtues build you up, and make you happy, healthy. They don't tear you down. That's what demons do, whenever they're around (which is all too often). Yes, yes, we speak of justice as like a bloody sword. To some extent that's true. But justice is a virtue, and virtues aren't destroyers. I was glad to hear the priest. He taught me something new. Justice is a virtue. It's not what demons do to you.
