Prayer For The Church (Free verse) by sliver

Guide us, St. Joseph Through this time of transition. Help your princes in their efforts To fill this lofty position. Help them to elect a leader With a strong hand, Someone with the wisdom And the strength to take a stand.

-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 5-Apr-05/7:32 AM
But don't you see how that's different from "Ask and ye shall receive"?

Incidentally, I have always though Jesus's prayer in the garden of Gethsemane was one of the stupidest prayers ever uttered by a divine being. I mean, Jesus asked God to spare Him the horrors of the cross, but only if it was possible. The implication of such a prayer is that if God could have spared Jesus from the cross, he would not have done so unless specifically asked to. Surely Jesus trusts God? Surely He trusts that God would only make Him suffer if it was necessary? NO. It seems Jesus thought God might conceivably make him suffer just for a laugh or something. UTTER TOSH!
