HOW THE MASS HELPED ME

While to find the actual church where the mass was going to be celebrated, it took me a very long time and big struggles with different people who tried to help me go to the right place using the always present GPS in new cell phones, I was finally able to be at the mass I had mentioned here yesterday and I must tell you that – besides some low level appearances – I was helped to understand and remember why I’m still alive in this huge pain, abandonment and humiliations. In fact – as I had said before – while in a coma I said to have met Jesus Christ who told to me that to remain alive for my paternal love for my children was possible but was going to be painful, I hope everyone here remembers the jokes I had made that aspirin or Tylenol would be able to take care of my pain, that’s been attempted to be treated by 4 different pain specialists without any success, so I’ve been living for about 7 years taking morphine at very small dosage, because it’s the only substance that makes my pain at least manageable, what’s somewhat ludicrous is that I’m still trying to be treated for it in hope to totally eliminate it when I know (somehow) for sure that few simple injections of Enbrel would forever let free from my pain that’s the only reason why I can’t walk after having tried to do so for 8 years working with experienced and very good/dedicated therapists.
2 words about my paternal love that I consider important to express here, in fact I kept wondering why my father kept telling me that I only had mentioned my treasures as the reason to ask not to die, in my mind in fact I always imagined that since the children are conceived, formed and born out of the body of the mother, they are the ones with the most intimate and deep connection with the children, I never imagined that a father could ever have any particular connection with his children, especially given the role played when they are conceived, so I couldn’t understand why I hadn’t mentioned my spouse Michele. However, my dad was very firm and determined in confirming that I had never mentioned the woman I still passionately love even today.
This Mass - very different from the ones made in Italy that I’m very used to- gave me the clear reason that explains why so many MD have been failing for several years to at least reduce my pain and – once again – explained the reason for my constant and insistent request to be treated with a TNF-alpha product (casually named Enbrel) for so long with so much refusal and frustration (to me). While I do believe in the existence of God, my brain being injured isn’t able to connect with Him, so I think that I’m going to need very much human intelligence and compassion to obtain what I’ve been asking for 6 full years. As I’ve been saying if this is what those criminals condemned me to while I'm alive, it’s just their own decision made with their own free will that determines what will be the eternity of their souls when they will leave their bodies here on Earth (=die). Not my business neither that of anyone else, simple free will that we have thanks to Eve (as the Bible explains).
It was also – towards the very end of this Mass – mentioned of the Canonization of 2 different Popes who we all saw because they had their position not very long ago, I actually remember well them both and the news about their deaths, what disturbed me a little is that the information about this historical canonization was given just like news about the local fair of used stuff is given and I believe that for the Vatican to proclaim 2 new Saints at this time is almost a miracle by itself, but once again I’m a brain injured man who tells of his ideas and feelings using the very public internet tool, so once again take it as it comes and never forget  what Erik assessed me to be (an idiot who can't count to 3).
