DEVIL'S BEATITUDES
If the Devil
were to write his Beatitudes, they would
probably
go something like this:
Blessed
are those who are too tired, too busy, too
distracted to spend an hour once a week with their fellow
Christians in Church - they are my best workers.
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 stop
going to church - they are my missionaries.
Blessed are those who are very religious but get on
everyone's nerves - 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
prey for me.
Blessed are the gossips, for they are my secret agents.
Blessed are those critical of church leadership, for they
shall inherit a place with me in my fate.
Blessed are the complainers - I'm all ears for them.
Blessed are you when you read this and think it is about
other people and not yourself - I've got you.
