To drnick (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

I do not know you drnick nor know your real name I do not know what you look like or what's your favourite game What you might like to eat or drink or styles you prefer best the languages you know to speak,or to whom you're known as 'pest'. Yet, still I thank our Lord above for His creation true and for the very nature in the one and only you. I ask that He may bless you in all you undertake not judge you on what I might think the habits you should break. I pray that He be with you wherever you may go in every step or act of yours Love's gifts in you may grow. And most of all, I thank Him for the plans He has for you in love and friendship, aches and pains in joys and sorrows too.

Here's a likely scenario:

Pope Ratzinger is probably aware that God isn't moved by human prayers. He does, however, know that God gives special chairs in heaven to people who pray for others. He therefore dupes the entirety of his congregation into believing prayer intercessions are meaningful ways to help others, and then counts on (1) his having helped many, many people into heaven, and (2) his own prayers, which are, possibly, only for his own salvation, to get himself into heaven as well. The only alternative, from his perspective, is simply to tell all his congregants to only pray for themselves or risk being seen by God as disingenuous self-promoters. In which case, no one gets bonus points, and even Ratzinger's own salvation is at risk, as he's helped no one particularly get salvation and he's a soddy Nazi crone.
