is there any difference between Pete Rose and St. Anthony of Padua –
the patron saint of shipwrecks?
i mean none of us know where we will wind up.
we’re just suddenly there,
wondering what the hell happened.
I assume St. Anthony gambled too…..on God,
on it all working out the way he wanted, on what he prayed for, to make it all come true, magic, God magic.
and if you bet on your own team to win,
isn’t that like praying for your monk brothers to make a great batch of wine? on diving for balls and taking one on the shin, one for the team?
i’d drink that wine.
i’d vote for Rose.
