The devil's beatitudes
Blessed are those who are too tired,
busy or disorganised to meet with
fellow Christians on Sundays each week
They are my best workers
Blessed are those who enjoy noticing
the mannerisms of clergy and choir
Their hearts are not in it
Blessed are those Christians who wait
to be asked and expect to be thanked
I can use them
Blessed are the touchy
with a bit of luck they may even stop
going to Church
They are my missionaries
Blessed are those who claim to love God
at the same time as hating people
They are mine forever
Blessed are the troublemakers
They shall be called my children
Blessed are those who have no time to pray
They are easy pray for me
Blessed are you when you read or hear this and
think it is about others and
not about yourself
I’ve got you.
