5. Prayers for the Stations of the Way of the Cross

Fifth Station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry his cross

 Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, the soldiers are becoming impatient. This is taking longer than they wanted it to. They are afraid you won't make it to the hill where you will be crucified. As you grow weaker, they grab a man out of the crowd and make him help carry your cross. He was just watching what was happening, but all of a sudden he is helping you carry your cross.

As a child, sometimes I see people who need my help. Sometimes I pretend not to hear when my parents call me. I disappear when I know others could use my help.

As an adult, sometimes I try to do as little as I can and still get by. Others might need my help, but I ignore their needs. Even when I'm asked to help, I sometimes claim to be too busy.

My Jesus, blest, thrice blest was he who aided Thee to bear the cross. Blest too shall I be if I aid Thee to bear the cross, by patiently bowing my neck to the crosses Thou shalt send me during life. My Jesus, give me grace to do so.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

Once upon a time before the heavens were the heavens, and the land was the land, everything was the heavens, and everyone lived in the heavens.  On this particular day in the heavens it was this particular angel's birthday, so he invited his friends over to celebrate. He swept his whole house and cleaned all of his counters. He set out some food for his friends for when they would arrive. Bowls of grapes and cucumbers, and honeydews. His favorite fruit was plums, but they were all out in the store. Plums were always hard to find.  His friends began to arrive. His friend, Jazeriel was first to arrive with his friend Lunel.  "Happy Birthday Lionel!"  "Happy Birthday Lionel!" They both said. They brought along some presents with them.   "Thank you, Jazerial, Lunel! Thanks for coming!" They came in and put the present on the counter.  "How have you been Lionel, what do you wish for yourself on this new year?"  "I wish to have more time off, ...

Demonology Chronicles #1

 In the beginning there was rock, lava and fire. There was a lot of Fire. God said,  "Let there be rock, lava and fire." And so there was a lot of rock, a lot of lava and a lot of Fire. More Fire than rock. More Fire than lava and more Fire than Fire. Demons were created from Fire. And they loved the Fire. There was Fire in their bones, and under their skin.  One day a demon was walking. Going to the Fire pit as usual. To hang out with his friends. He passed the gigantic rock stature of Lucifer. He looked at the statue and clasped his hands together once out of respect. Some demons were hanging out by the statue. Talking politics. He passed them and kept going to find his friends. He saw them and waved.  "Hey Bone Eater, Bone Tenderizer." "Hey Bone Crusher." They were eating some skins.  "What are you guys eating, I'm hungry." They gave him some.  "It's fresh, some human got dropped today." Bone Tenderizer said. "That's...

Once upon a time, there was a boy who fell in love with a monster. The monster had black teeth and red eyes. And his fur was mangled and tatty. He had hair all over his body and pointed cat ears. His snout was long and narrow, like a mouse. His arms were thick and muscular. His legs like tree trunks, claws digging up the earth as he walked.  This monster's name was Ylang Yoe. Ylang Yoe held the boy gently each time and one hand was bigger than the boys head. Ylang Yoe held the boys head in one hand as he entered him. Thick and veiny he came as soon as the head went in, moisturizing the entrance. He continued to move forward. Cum dripped from the boy and pooled underneath him. The monster put his other hand in the boys mouth and he, the boy, obediently licked and sucked his claws. He couldn't even reach the tips of his fingers his mouth was so small, and Ylang Yoe's hands were so big. So the boy licked and sucked his claws. Ylang Yoe grunted and moaned as he moved inside. He...
