Fifth Sorrowful Mystery of Our Holy and Blessed Mother Mary

5. The Crucifixion of Our Lord
When we had finally reached Mount Calvary, my Son was thrown on the cross after being stripped naked in front of the crowd. They drove spikes through His hands and feet and yet the Lord gave me the strength to withstand the sight of my Son being nailed on the cross and literally butchered by the soldiers. They lifted the cross to its place, and then my Son hung there for three hours. I heard my Son say, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they're doing." Jesus prayed for His enemies and pleaded for their ignorance: He also pleaded for your ignorance. There were two thieves crucified with Jesus, one on His right and the other on His left, and to the repentant thief He promised paradise. Finally He looked at me and at John: He told me, "Woman, behold your Son" and to John, "Behold your mother." My spiritual motherhood is Jesus' gift to you: Jesus gave me to His disciples and to the whole Church to be mother and intercessor for everyone who calls himself a Christian. When the third hour came, the sky became dark and Jesus cried out, "Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit."
My Son bowed His head, the symbol of obedience to the Father, and then the earth began to quake. There was a great storm in Heaven, the whole of creation was reacting at man's crime, the killing of their God, the killing of their Savior. After it was calm, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimethea, and John took my Son down and then placed Him in my arms. I remembered while I was holding Him the prophecy of Simeon, "The sword of sorrow will pierce your soul." That prophecy was coming true: but just as I was holding my Son in my arms, I remembered His words that He would rise, again. All that I needed to do was to wait until that prophecy was fulfilled. My children, ask the Father to extend His salvation and forgiveness to your enemies. Pray for those who abuse you: pray for those who hurt you in any form. Ask the Father that they will also be cleansed by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross. Come, my children, to the foot of the cross and there I will pray with you and for you that your sins will be blotted out: that you will experience the redeeming power of my Son. Pray before the crucifix and I will pray with you. Ask the Father that you will constantly remember the death of my Son and be ever grateful for the salvation He has obtained for you.

This was the time before the land became the land, and the waters became the waters. Everything was the heavens, and everyone lived in the heavens. In the heavens, there are angels called the Thrones. These angels are in charge of carrying God's throne. They are all really strong, with large muscles. One of these throne angels was arrogant. He thought himself better than all the other angels in the heavens. He was right, he did carry God's throne. Supporting God was all he did, all day. One day this throne angel was walking and got lost in the heavens. He called out for help but there were no other angels around to help him. He wandered about by himself. Maybe after an hour, he saw a rabbit. "Rabbit! Where am I! Show me the way!" The rabbit looked up startled, and said, "I do not know the way, I live here. My friend the racoon can show you the way, he is super smart." "Ok! Where is this racoon!" The rabbit hopped around and led him to the...

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...
