The Burning Desire for Ecstasy and the continuation of that pursuit obtains nothing of matter and at its end,

lies the suffocating ashes of Agony.

 

 What follows is a fictional story based on men I knew and similar events that I witnessed during my own period of being amongst the lost. There are the Cradle to Grave Catholics that sometimes question their faith and then there are the Lost Catholics that find themselves bedeviled by their surroundings. This story focuses on the latter. The Author.

2nd Reading at the Pentecost Sunday mass. Gal 5:16-25

 

Brothers and sisters, live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, lust, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.
