Mary's Angina, by Mark Tulin

Mary feels her heart thumping. She motions Jesus to get her water.
“Please don’t go to the Mount today,” she implores. “I’m worried.”
“Mom, my followers are expecting me.”
"You’re such a martyr, Jesus. Why don’t you let other people hang from the cross? Why do you always have to be the one that gets your hands and feet nailed?”
“Mom—Stop!” Jesus pleads, but she goes on.
“Who cares about sinners? You’re dying for people you don’t even know. Get married and make babies. Be a normal person.”
Jesus promises his mother that he won’t die.


This was funny 😀
Thanks, parikhit. 🙏🏻😇😄
Loved it Mark the evangelist. I have been waiting for a new gospel for a long time.
Right now, it’s only coming to me in flashes. 😇
Its okay. Rome was not built in one Day. 🙂
I have to remember that as I change the face of civilization. 🙂☕️
Oh! Please do. I certainly would like to live for a thousand years to the see the changed world.
I was thinking 6 weeks
That will work out too. Then I don’t need to stretch myself.
