...My Protestant And Jesus-loving Ass Could Never.

...My protestant and Jesus-loving ass could never.

Okay the Catholics get a win for this one. Because on this episode of "Am I going to convert to Catholicism" I actually prayed to a saint for the first time.

I was kind of going through it (kind of relapsed into my katabasis arc ig) and my relationship with God was struggling because of it. I was mad. Like really mad, because I felt abandoned by him. And so I couldn't pray. I didn't want to hear from them. Because why the heck would you leave me to begin with??? There was all this pent up negative feelings I had towards them and I didn't feel like I could go directly to God.

But, @patron-saint-of-lesbeans recomended reaching out to Mary and asking for intercession on my behalf.

Now, I'm not some radical protestant or anything, and i was completely okay with people praying to the saints, but for me personally I didn't think it was something i'd ever do.

But I did.

And now I think I get it.

Sometimes I can't approach the Throne of Grace because the throne doesn't feel particularly gracious. Sometimes I can't approach Mercy because they don't feel particularly merciful. Sometimes I can't approach God because God doesn't feel particularly loving.

But I can approach Mary, who is full of Grace, who is the Mother of Mercy, the Mother of God, and she can help lead me to the Prince of Peace.

So just... thank you. Thank you Rj, thank you Mary, and thank you God.

WAIT A MINUTE!!! WHAT?? *starts making thousands of worried phone calls*

HEY BILL!!

It's Crystal! Do you still remember the time I accidentally summoned you while doing Math? That was back in Winchester. OH YEAH, also, I moved to Japan and got married to Touta Matsuda, one of the policemen involved in the Kira case. What are your thoughts about him?

...AH

SORRY TO SAY, BUT I ATE HIM A MINUTE AGO.

I don't know what to feel about this.. BUT you have good taste. More women like him so I get it!

HEYYY SEBASTIAN!! Crystal here. What's your opinion on Touta Matsuda from Death Note? He's my husband btw~

Hey, Crystal. L is a lot better.

I wonder why I feel so drawn to him.

YIPPEE LIGHT ACTUALLY FINALLY REPLIED

Hi this is Matsuda's newlywed wife. I just made a Tumblr community for him. Wanna join?

Um? I...suppose? Congratulations to him?

Okay.. was a little shellshocked by that response BUT. Matsuda isn't a corrupt person. Or cruel, to say the least. He's pretty much the opposite, and he's not powerful enough to squeeze money out of people. He's a really kind guy, one of the reasons I married him. YES I used to live in Hong Kong, so I get what you mean about policemen. There are many bad AND GOOD policemen in the world, so I don't think you should discriminate them. Even though we argue over a lot of things like money, food and stuff.. I still love him. SO yeah, that's my response! ...Also I need to comfort Matsuda because he's crying in the other room. Gotta go!

HEY HABITT!!! It's Crystal! What's your opinion of Touta Matsuda? He's one of the policemen who helped solve the Kira Case! He's also my husband hehe~ Hope you had a nice day so far!! ❤️❤️

HEYA, CRYSTAL...

PERSONALLY I THINK COPS ARE ALL OVERLY CRUEL AND CORRUPT FUCKS... AND THAT'S COMING FROM ME OF ALL PEOPLE...

BUT I WON'T JUDGE YA FOR YOUR HUSBAND.

WE'RE DOIN' PRETTY GOOD SO FAR... HOUSE IS NICE AND DECKED OUT IN HALLOWEEN SHIT NOW.

NICE TO MEET YA...
