PLAY FAVORITES. WHY? BECAUSE HE DOES.
______ ______
I was fifteen years old. It was a crisp Tuesday morning. and I was in Church, enjoying Mass.
When it was over, vividly remembered how I was kneeling down.
With my HEART immensely relaxed and happy.
And then
Suddenly, it happened. With my eyes closed, my lips almost in a smile i blurted out the words.
"Father, kill me."
Wha....
Who said that? In semi-panic, I jolted myself out of the kneeler, throwing myself back on the pew.
Where did those words come from?
Quickly, i looked to my left and right, wondering if anyone had heard me.(what was i going to tell them anyway? "No guys, I'm not going to commit suicide...)
But thank God ,everyone had left. I was alone in that huge, empty Church.
Getting my bearings together, I sheepishly knelt down again.
"Uh lord ...."i began, "I didn't say that . I mean, whatever i said awhile ago.....Just forget about it, okay?"
But deep within me , I knew that the lord was trying to tell me something, and i was aching to find out what it was.
___ ___ (1)The Murder Scene
I went through the Church door, and was about to cross the street,
When i heard a voice behind me.
"Psst boy!". (Remember, i was a small, lanky, fifteen year old kid when this happened.)
Turning around, I saw a thirtyish-looking man in a filthy clothes, disheveled hair, who had a face that could launch a thousand battleships----against himself.
Covered with grease and block soot, it was very frightening to be in front of him.
I wondered if God if God was now going to answer the prayer I had said a few minutes ago, through this man.
But he said, in a very weak voice.
"Nagugutum ang pamilya ko. Pwede bang makahingi ng kunting pambili ng almusal ?" (My family and I are hungry. Could you spare us money for breakfast?)
Behind him lying down on the Church porcd and covered with newspaper as blankets, were his wife and two children. They were as dirty as he was.
Nervously, I reached for my pocket and give him the very little money I had.
The man took it and right away left for an nearby store.
I was about to leave when his wife stood up and greeted me with a friendly and nod. I noodded back.
