Jackson City, Jackson City, Jackson Cathedral, Grand Chapel, Jackson Cathedral

As soon as the service was over, the faithful left the chapel one after another, and the priests also retreated one after another, leaving only three people in the chapel.

Two middle-aged white men in the first row, dressed in crisp suits with carefully groomed hairstyles, and an old pastor with gray hair who was cleaning up on the podium.

Seeing that the old priest had packed his things, the older of the two middle-aged white men stood up with a smile on his face: "Bishop Ronald." ”

Bishop Ronald's gaze paused on his face for a moment, then turned to look at another white man in his forties, who stood up at the same time, bowing slightly, and then spoke, in a soft and warm voice: "Is this the young man?" ”

"Yes." The middle-aged white man in his fifties nodded, pointed to the side and introduced: "It's basically decided, no surprise, Phil will officially take office as governor in a week." ”

"Oh, Phil." Bishop Ronald nodded: "I've heard of the name, I've heard of those deeds, that famous 'civilian lawyer' is right, well, you're very good." ”

A little unsure of the old pastor's meaning, the prospective governor reassured: "Don't worry, I was also born in Mitong-Dongbie, I am well aware of the traditions here, and have always respected the traditions here, my family and I are also devout believers, and when I become governor, I will also support and help our brothers and sisters in Mitong-Dongpi ......"

"Oh, young man, you don't have to be in a hurry...... Bishop Ronald smiled gently, "Your piety is well known, and God has always watched you, needless to say." ”

Governor-to-be Phil, who has always been eloquent, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak, but the older middle-aged man next to him laughed: "We are relieved to hear you say this." By the way, Phil's second child will be born next week, I wonder if you would like to baptize him? ”

"Oh, it's not comparable, I'm old, and the manual work of baptism should be left to young people." Bishop Ronald also smiled brightly: "You can contact Pastor Paquin who will be my successor, he is very fond of children, and I think he will be happy to take on this task." ”

……

After half an hour of talking, the Republican leader of Misson-Tungbi left the chapel with the young man who was about to become governor.

As we all know, there are two major parties in the United States, which take turns in power, and Mitong Dongbi is the place where the Republican Party retains, to put it simply, the governor of this continent is generally held by Republicans, and the candidates of the Democratic Party and other parties are often symbolically accompanied, and then crushed. Similarly, in the presidential election, all votes in Misson-Dongbi go to Republican presidential candidates, for decades.

Before the governor of Misson Donopy took office, the first thing he had to do, whether it was a long-standing Republican governor or a very occasional Democratic governor, was to go to Jackson Cathedral and visit the bishop who was in charge of the affairs of a state.

For no other reason, in order to express his position in the defense of "tradition", in order to gain the support of the bishop.

Of the 3.2 million people in the state, 82% of them believe in the existence of God, and 74% are devout believers, ranking first in the country!

Without the support of the Bishop, and without the support of the Doge Church behind the Bishop, no matter how good the governor is, he would not be able to move an inch in Midong-Dongbi.

At the end of the conversation, Bishop Ronald walked out of the chapel with the Bible in his hand, and a young pastor with clear eyebrows who had been waiting at the door for a long time hurriedly followed him.

Bishop Ronald did not speak, but went all the way, greeting the believers who remained in the church to volunteer from time to time, and after a while, he came to the chapel in the church.

This is the place for private prayer.

Bishop Ronald had a habit that lasted for decades that he would come and kneel before the cross and pray every time he had finished a large service for the faithful.

Of course, today was no exception, and with the support of the young priest next to him, the elderly Bishop Ronald knelt on the cushion with his forehead lowered, and his hands tightly grasped the cross necklace on his chest, and began to pray.

The young pastor did not bother, and stood quietly aside, also with his eyebrows lowered.

Bishop Ronald was silently praying in his mouth, but his heart was full of thoughts.

I'm getting older and older, and even communicating with those cute little boys is a little powerless, and I don't know when I'm going to fall down and return to the arms of God.

Fortunately, this time the governor looks very young and not difficult to deal with, even if he is lucky enough to be re-elected, presumably Paquin will be able to deal with it, and will never let the "tradition" of Midongopi be threatened.

Over the years, Paquin has become more and more sophisticated, and I think when I was so old with him...... Hey, it's true that I raised it since I was a child.

It's just that since the news was exposed, the above investigation has become more and more strict, although Paquin's hobby is not a big deal, he must find an opportunity to persuade him to restrain a little, otherwise it will not be easy to suppress it if it is exposed again.

And the money from last time, I should hurry up and earn it to Europa, otherwise if I fall, this money has not been transferred out, wouldn't it be cheaper for those little cubs?

……

After careful thought, Bishop Ronald suddenly felt warm and extremely comfortable.

What's the situation? How is it like basking in the sun? Although the chapel has a skylight, it faces the side of the statue of the great cross, how can it shine on me? And it's winter, and the sun can't ......

Realizing that something was wrong, Bishop Ronald hurriedly raised his head and looked towards the place where he sensed.

It was the statue of the cross on the high platform directly in front of him, and there were bursts of soft, delicate, white light emitting from it, bit by bit, sprinkled on his body!

This light sprinkled on the body is so comfortable, it makes people feel as if they have returned to their mother's body, living in the amniotic fluid, wrapped in layers of warmth, and the whole body is indescribably comfortable and comfortable, making people feel comfortable and can't help but scream.

It was more comfortable than when he secretly smoked marijuana when he was young and played with little boys in middle age.

Fortunately, in this extreme comfort, he still retains a certain amount of sanity.

What's going on here?

Bishop Ronald turned his head to look at the young pastor standing beside him.

The young priest looked at him inquiringly, but his eyes did not look at the statue of the cross.

He didn't see the light!

Years of intuition and experience led Bishop Ronald to analyze this conclusion in an instant, shook his head, and stopped the young priest from stepping forward.

This light can only be seen and felt!

Bishop Ronald looked again at the statue of the cross in front of him, and in the endless light, Jesus on the cross was so holy and merciful.

This is...... Did Jesus have a manifestation?

Bishop Ronald is far less devout and committed than believers seem, and although there seems to be nothing wrong with his daily schedule, he doesn't know how much he has done in private.

For God, for Jesus, he saw them more as a symbol, a kind of sustenance, but the education since childhood, the habits that have been accumulated over the years, make him seem so religious, in fact......

However, now, seeing this scene in front of him and feeling the endless comfort in his body, the doubts and surprises in his heart have reached their peak.

What's going on here?

As if hearing the inquiry in his heart, a voice sounded in his head.

Just two words.

"Pious."

Immediately after, in an instant, the light on the idol disappeared, and the endless comfort in the body also disappeared.

Then, in the surprised gaze of the young pastor behind him.

For the first time in five years, the eighty-two-year-old Bishop Ronald stood up from his knees without any support or support!
