Chapter 938

  After dinner, the old people began to gather together to chant the scriptures.

  Every weekend, volunteers bring clothes, cups, cakes and other consolation items to the widows, but the children and pets are the most happy thing for the elderly.

  Even if those children are not related to them, the old people will still like them very much.

After finishing a day's work, Veronica looked at them at the door of the activity room. One of these people was her grandfather. He looked no different from an ordinary old man, because he was still wearing a piece from the cold. Mexican blankets, it is difficult to associate him with the villain that Uncle Fabio hates and hates.

  Uncle Fabio could never forgive him, and he knew it, so he didn’t look for them.

  But he still returned to Venice, where he was born and raised, got married, and had children.

   "Did you call your mother?" Father Constantine asked.

   "Yes." Veronica replied in a low voice. The nursing home was quiet, as quiet as a grave.

"Come on, pray with us." Constantine reached out to Veronica. She grabbed it without hesitation, but Constantine did not take her to the activity room, but to the prayer room in the nursing home. .

  The Protestants are not willing to spend money on the ceremony, but the Catholics are very willing. Even if there is still a gorgeous altar in this small monastery, the nuns have kneeled in a circle, and they stared at Veronica with curious eyes.

Tomorrow Veronica will take a volunteer boat back, and the Vatican will also hold a Mass tomorrow. Between the pope in white and the bishop in red, there will be an archbishop in purple, usually the pope concurrently. .

  But because of the Pope’s health, Mass needs to be hosted on his behalf.

Catholic women cannot become priests and bishops. Constantine put on reading glasses and began to read the classics, while others closed their eyes and prayed. This is part of the faith life. It is boring and boring. Naturally, it is not interesting to go to nightclubs. No one can stand this.

But when the wind is rough outside the house, it is a kind of good deed to be able to pray for everyone in a safe room. It is a kind of good deed to hope that the crisis will end soon. When the Black Death in Venice was spreading, women, both poor and rich, were praying. , And it really came true later.

  "Peace still belongs to you." Constantine said, "Today we will learn the Gospel of St. Matthew."

   "Hallelujah," the nuns replied.

  "At that time, **** said to his disciples: "You should preach on the road: The kingdom of heaven is near. You have to heal the sick; you have to resurrect the dead; you have to be cleansed for the leper; you have to cast out the devil; and you have to give in vain if you get it for nothing. Don’t carry gold, silver, or copper in your pockets; don’t bring pockets, don’t bring two underwear, don’t wear shoes, don’t bring sticks, because the worker should have his food..."

  Veronica and the nuns lowered their heads and listened. She didn't think everything in the scriptures was correct.

  The patient needs to be cured, what should I do if the disease cannot be cured? The dead must be resurrected, and resurrection cannot be achieved by humans.

It has been shown on TV that someone has a terminal illness and freezes themselves, waiting for the development of science and technology to cure their disease, and then thawing and resurrecting themselves at that time, even Raula knew that it was a scam, but there were still people. Willing to do so.

   "The Lord has revealed his justice to the people." Just as Veronica was distracted, the nuns said in unison.

  Veronica looked at the faces of the nuns, and felt fear for the first time in her life.

  Why do you obey such a fallacy?

  She wanted to say but she didn’t dare to say it. Generally speaking, she was still a secular girl. She could ignore it contemptuously and turn around and leave, but she had made a temporary wish to observe the three wishes of poverty, chastity and obedience.

   "If you want to regret now, you still have time."

  She heard a voice saying that she could not tell where the voice came from. It was like the devil and her own voice.

"Have you kissed a boy?" She heard the voice again. "Look at those old people. Do you want to be like them, waiting for other people's children to see yourself with kindness? You can leave and get married and have children like normal people. As old as your grandmother, surrounded by offspring."

   "No!" she said with disgust.

   "Stupid girl." The voice said again, "Sex is not a shameless act. Everyone does it like this. You will know how beautiful it is when you try it."

  Veronica covered her ears, as if it could block the slander.

   "Look at me." The voice said, and at the same time a hand lifted her chin, she was greeted by a handsome man with dark eyes, and what was more weird was that he was wearing priest's clothes.

  "You are only 16 years old, just like a rose in bud, it is so neatly matched, what a pity."

   "Go away..." Veronica trembled.

  "Do you know how normal girls fall in love?" The man lowered his voice and said, "Do you want chocolate?"

  Veronica pushed him away, stood up, and ran across the dark monastery.

   "Silly girl, why do you want to be a nun!" Veronica's mother, Alicia, said in the dark.

  Veronica thought of the poverty of her family, and the strange vision and gossip of her neighbors.

  She just doesn’t want to make the wrong choice like her mother.

  She shouldn't have been born.

  After the girl’s body began to develop, running became very embarrassing, but physical education must still be available.

  She hated the eyes of those boys and even refused to take gym classes for this reason.

  There is another girl who has the same idea as her, but they are not in the same class. Once they met while hiding in gym class, so they spent time together in the shade of the trees.

   "How do you kill time? Kissing?" the voice asked again.

   "Stay away from me!" Veronica turned and said.

   Then she saw herself and the girl in an open room, they were so bored weaving lace in the shade of the trees. This fabric is very popular and can be sold to tourists.

   "When you have money, you can buy ice cream to eat." The voice said cheerfully, "Or do whatever you want."

  Veronica heard the other's bad intentions and picked up a stone to throw him.

At this moment, thorns suddenly appeared in the darkness, entangled her hands, and then she was hung up, and the upward weightless force awakened her from that strange dark dream. She looked around and found herself Still in the chapel, there are still the nuns around, but Constantine's amber rosary is wrapped around her wrist.

"Mother Mary, Mother of Good Guidance, I offer this sutra, and I wish you a persuasive heart. Your son **** preached and preached, the kingdom of heaven is near, come to repent, accept the Lord’s gospel, and live the new commandments. It also announces the eight truths of blessings to the public, and establishes a kingdom of peace, justice, and truth, so that the people of God can live in the love of the new heavens and the new earth."

  Don’t read the Rosary to me, I am not possessed!

  Veronica wanted to tell Constantine, but her voice was a meaningless roar, sounding like some kind of crazy beast.

   "Lie down, lie down, child." The nuns said worriedly, and forced her to fall on the ground in front of the altar, looking like a lamb waiting for sacrifice.

Veronica kept struggling. She had a foreboding that something bad would happen, but she was unable to stand up because her hands were tied, even if it was just a fragile one that would break with a slight pull. Rosary.
