Should it be that you gathered up our suffering and agony into your body. Should it be you bore with you this hardship through death. Should it be that you meet with God as you come to that other land. Should it be that you find his countenance turned toward you then. Should it be that you know the language to speak so this God may hear and understand. Should it be than you then talk with this God and he hears you out. Should it be so_ Pray for us. Anon, dear child, please listen. Listen to what I have to tell you now. Pray for us who have been left in darkness, left behind in this miserable Earth, with the sky above us, grim and empty. Lay your burden at God_s feet, the whole of your suffering, and plead with Him to pardon us. Plead with Him that he may free us of our anxiety and our weariness, of our misgivings and fears. Plead with Him that He may make sense and meaning of our lives. Anon, who you have borne your anguish and suffering so long, are most surely worthy of advocating our cause.
