Chapter 404: The Shepherd's Task Is to Shepherd the Sheep
Italy, Rome, Fiumicino International Airport.
These days, there are more planes landing at this airport, obviously in winter, but many times more than in the most popular summer months.
It is worth noting that a large part of these landed planes are all kinds of private jets, and all the adults who come down are bodyguards.
Moreover, these adults often wore all kinds of robes, which were the robes of the clergy, the robes of the priests, the robes of the priests, the robes of the bishops, the robes of the patriarchs, the robes of the pope......
As soon as they got off the plane, all kinds of heavy and luxurious cars parked at the entrance of the airport and picked them up one by one.
If a well-informed person stands on a high platform in the lobby of the airport, you can distinguish their identity by the robes on their bodies.
It was a Dokia pastor, a servant of God, an interpreter of the Bible, and a guide for believers, but they were all different denominations.
Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Puritant, Anglican, Sacred Heart, Holy Baptist, Assyrian, Non-Assyrian, Calvinist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Congregational, Mormon...... There are all kinds of them, and the number is nearly 100.
They are all self-orthodox on weekdays, regard other sects as heretics, as side doors, and apart from all kinds of scolding and warfare with each other, there are very few normal exchanges, such as high-level talks of sects, and there are almost none.
However, many of the people who came this time were the top of every sect, and even the popes who were under God and above all people.
The black traffic weaves through the bustling streets of Rome, past the old buildings along the streets, to another city in the southwest of the city.
The Vatican, a city of cities.
……
Papal Room.
Standing barefoot on a thick and ornate woolen blanket and in front of a huge gold-encrusted floor-to-ceiling mirror, the spirited Pope is dressed in the service of several young priests with beautiful eyebrows.
Unlike on weekdays, today he dresses with exquisite and meticulous care.
Neatly ironed vests, splendid white robes, sumptuous and soft shawls, necklaces of crosses made of pure gold, high papal crowns, golden scepters inlaid with huge precious stones...... One by one, they were carefully worn on him, turning into the purest status symbol.
In the midst of the dressing, there were also young priests running past the door, reporting something:
"The Russian Orthodox priest has arrived......"
"The Protestant Archbishop of Millican has taken his seat ......"
……
After another ten minutes, His Holiness finally dressed himself, walked out of the Papal Chamber, and walked down the long corridor into St. Peter's Basilica, followed by the four cardinal archbishops waiting outside the door.
St. Peter's Basilica is the noble church of the entire Vatican, where many emperors have been crowned in history, and it is also the largest church in the Vatican, with a huge hall that can accommodate thousands of people.
And as soon as he walked in and stood on the altar, what the Pope saw was a large black pressed human head.
The entire hall was already crowded with gods who had come from all over the world, but they still had the most basic order, with the higher ones in the front and the lower ones in the back.
Standing in front of these thousands of people, His Holiness the Pope, who had made countless preparations, spoke: "Brothers and sisters! After a thousand years, we are finally gathered together again to bask in the glory of God! ”
"Thank you for your willingness to give up our original quarrels, those hatreds, those fights, and come here calmly."
"I want to say that all these so-called quarrels, hatreds, fights, in fact, all don't matter anymore! God has been revealed! It has taken care of us and let us know that we are all believers in God, brothers and sisters who should love each other! ”
"Praise God! Amen! ”
With his last shout, suddenly, the entire hall was boiling:
"Praise God! Amen! ”
"Praise God! Amen! ”
"Praise God! Amen! ”
……
It took a long time for the boiling to subside.
With a smile on his face, the Pope pressed down with his hands, barely suppressing the noise of excitement: "Every one of the people standing here this time is a child who has been favored by God, who has felt His warmth, received His gifts, and heard His voice...... Each of us can truly feel that God is there for us and cares for us all the time! ”
After a pause, he continued: "It's just us, yes, it's just us!" Only those of us who are true, believers in God, servants of God! There are no hypocritical heretics! It's just us! ”
His voice raised again: "God is the only true God!" Amen! ”
For a while, there was another uproar.
After waiting for a long time, he continued: "We have all truly felt God's presence, we have received miracles from Him, and, of course, we can sense His expectations of us......
"The human hierarchy is the Lamb of God, and we are God's shepherds! He wanted more lambs! More devout and believing lambs! He needs more believers, more faith! God's Word is not clear, but it is something I really feel! I think it's something that each and every one of us really feels! ”
His Holiness looked around, and everyone was looking at him, and many of them were nodding their heads, frowning without objection, or those who were going to refute or ask questions.
He continued: "We must fulfill the Lord's desire!" More of His favor! ”
