Oh 'On His Knees', yeah that was a bit interesting...
Summary: When God called Pete to his service, he fought it until he couldn't. But ten years later he's the priest of an inner city congregation in Chicago, spreading God's love through youth clubs and human rights campaigns, in soup kitchens and homeless shelters. It's there that he first meets Patrick, a young man with a voice of an angel and capacity to seduce Pete to path of demons. Or so some would have him believe. But surely love can never be wrong?
It was the question very much in Pete's mind as well as he eased down onto his knees, crossed hands resting on the baluster and his forehead resting on them. Why wasn't he normal? Why had he met Patrick? Why was it so hard to stay away from him and the temptation he represented? Why was God testing him so? Why, if it was so wrong, had He made Pete like this in the first place?

Snippet:
It was 2 am and the church was quiet, Pete's steps echoing in the empty isles as he slowly made his way toward the altar. He could here the distant sound of sirens, another emergency crew heading toward another tragedy, and maybe tomorrow he would have a weeping mother or a inconsolable fiancée at his doorstep, asking 'why'.
