Chapter 50: Albert Barth 3
"Doesn't sound like a story to boast about. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said Joe, "My father has always demanded that I inherit the family inheritance, and has demanded so from me since I was born. So I asked my son to do the same, but it didn't go well. My son had other ideals and was not obedient to my teachings. At one point, our relationship was very stiff. ”
"And what eased your relationship?"
"It's time. Joe said, "Time can always bring people back from bigotry, whether it's me or my son." It's like an unstoppable torrent, sweeping everything around it and rushing towards the ocean, but the process is so calm and slow, when you look back, you realize how much things have changed. ”
"It's like fate. ”
"It's like fate. ”
Albert couldn't figure out why fate had arranged for suffering to the world. Some of the unofficial legends and psalms say that God had a cup of misery and happiness called fate, and then poured out the overflowing karma on earth.
"Mr. Joe, where do you think fate will lead a man?" Albert asked, half of the words in the teachings are fate rather than fate, and in the eyes of those who are engaged in learning, fate is a detailed prophecy of the future, and fate is an unavoidable end in any way. Just as everything that has lived must die, and the doom that may happen must happen, there is no way to avoid it, both logically and practically.
This argument is not convincing to many scholars, but for believers it is a foregone conclusion that is pushed by the great hand of God, and mortals cannot avoid it no matter what.
If all the future is planned by God, then what's the point......
"I don't know, and maybe we never know. Joe took some money out of his pocket and said to Albert, "The doctor has not taken all the money that was supposed to pay for the medical bills, and if you can, I would like to ask you to go to church and donate it." Joe probably heard Albert and the doctor exchanging pleasantries, and said, "Here are ten gold coins, five for your pleasure." ”
"Mr. Joe, that's too much. Albert politely excused himself.
"Not much at all, I can tell that you are also a man of strong faith. You can also see that you are suffering from problems and full of questions. Jo got up and opened the window, and the stale smell of the room was much clearer, "You see, our God is a God who teaches the truth, not a man who makes people suffer. ”
Mr. Joe made up his mind to let Albert go to church.
There are many churches in the upper town, so Albert naturally chose the closest one to visit. The Holy Spirit of Justice, the church of St. Dorlock is just around the corner.
Apart from the Holy See Auditorium, this is the largest church in the city. There is a constant stream of people who come here to pray, and those who do not understand the scriptures may think that everyone will pray to the Holy Spirit, so many churches named after the Holy Spirit are built.
But theologically, all the Holy Spirit is subordinate to God, and the only person who can pray can be God is God. For this reason, in the beginning, the monks went through a theological battle and finally determined that the higher souls who obeyed God were called the Holy Spirit, and those who rebelled against God were called demons.
The righteous Holy Spirit Dorok is the Holy Spirit of the Apologists, the lobbyist of the righteous side, the judge who adjudicates the wicked. His image is that of a judge with a sword, marked by a balance that never fails.
All the many advocates and those who wanted justice to be upheld came to pray for God's grace and sent Dorok to help them.
At the same time, it is also the most heavily guarded place in the imperial capital, and the city guards on duty here are not as gag as other places. Many people who were dissatisfied with the Empire gathered here to resist the Empire, and the Empire was forced to establish a Council of Elders to quell the troubles.
Although time has passed, the vigilance has still been passed down from the years.
The box was placed in a prominent position, and Albert passed through the guard's line of sight and pretended to throw ten gold coins into it.
There is a person walking in front of him, and he is also worried, but it is not like himself, he has a clear goal, and he will not be willing to give up.
He also threw three gold coins into the charity box and closed his eyes and praised God. Unlike the piety shown by all those present, this man's piety was not a sign of humility in the face of infinite power and a lament for his own insignificance, but with true praise.
His eyes were full of confidence, not because God would help him, but because God had created the world with His own will, and he would turn it into righteousness according to His own will.
Albert felt this way, but he couldn't say it himself. I just feel that I have been deeply moved by my heart this time, and the people in front of me are indescribably inspired and inspired.
After this photo, Albert remembered the man's face, and it should be said that it was difficult to forget.
Looking inside the church, there doesn't seem to be anyone lining up in the confessional today. Albert remembered that the last time he went to confession was half a year ago, and this opportunity coincided with this opportunity, so he walked into the dimly lit confessional room.
When the creaky door closes, the room becomes a sacred place of repentance to God.
"Is there something bothering you, my child. The priest's voice came in from behind the thin partition.
"Father ......," said Albert, "I am guilty, but some are more guilty. I learned one thing, and that is that sinners fill the world, and no one can go into the earth with an innocent body. ”
The priest did not speak, so Albert went into more detail.
"My young brother is dead, murdered. My elder brother was once very ill and no one was willing to show mercy. A black-hearted doctor also ...... He also cheated me out of all my belongings. ”
