Sobbing Chavez Pleads for Life at Catholic Mass in Home State

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 6 | Corina Pons and Jose Orozco

[Cronos]

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez wiped tears from his face as he pleaded for life in his fight against an undisclosed cancer at a Catholic mass in his home state of Barinas.

... "If this was necessary, may it be welcome," Chavez said, who wore a white T-shirt under a blue and white track suit. "But I ask God to give me life, however painful. I can carry 100 crosses, your crown of thorns, but don't take me yet. I still have things to do."

[Cronos]

God shows His power..

[ScottinVA]

Then fully repent, Hugo, and prepare your heart for what is coming.

[Westbrook]

May God grant him a repentant heart that he may find peace and joy in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, especially as we celebrate Jesus’ atonement for our sins this week.

He’ll soon know what sulfur really smells like.

[pgkdan]

No comment. It’s Holy Week and Good Friday.

[knarf]

The devil also believes ... and trembles.

[samtheman]

but don't take me yet. I still have things to do.

Like destroy Christianity, raze churches and put believers in prison.

[Polyxene]

“He’ll soon know what sulfur really smells like.”

Just what I was thinking. So what is a communist/atheist doing in church? Guess he was covering his bases.

[trisham]

I still have things to do.

*******************************

I think you've done enough.

[Da Coyote]

Shove it up your smelly Obama, Chavez.

Say hello to dead Ted.

You’ll be in the same place.

[Dick Bachert]

...and pack several thousand pair of flame-retardant full body undies ‘cause it's gonna be hot as hell where you're headed and eternity is forever.
That said, at some point you will be joined by...Oh, never mind!

[ct_libertarian]

I would never wish anyone dead.

However, Hugo, I do hope that Papa Possum is right and Simón Bolívar is waiting for the chance to kick your punk ass.

But Death comes even to Chávez;
        Castros, Ortegas fall,
and Simón, like Historia,
        is waiting for them all.

[FLAMING DEATH]

Take him! Take him!

[Secret Agent Man]

It smells like sulfur, Hugo. Definitely sulfur.

[hinckley buzzard]

Hugo must be smelling a whiff of sulphur.

[nuconvert]

He’s lucky to have been permitted to live as long as he has.

Good riddance !

[chuckles]

No atheists in a foxhole. This is no different than a woman praying not to get aids while fornicating. Whose god is she praying to?

Right now would be a good time for the Church to excommunicate him,.... publicly,.....with lots of fanfare. Maybe Pelosi, Biden, Kerry and about a billion others would take notice.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Sounds like Hugo may be on the clock!

[samtheman]

May God grant him a repentant heart that he may find peace and joy in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, especially as we celebrate Jesus’ atonement for our sins this week.

It's never too late for any living person to truly (has to be truly) repent. Even someone who has led as despicable a life as this person has.
