In the Church of Our Lady of the Apocalypse...

— Maurice Cat, vet doctor.

— Doctor!  Get rid of that animal.

— Just a moment.


In the square...

— Did you hear?

— Yes!  Let's go!  — Frank and Nestor enter the Church.

— Nestor! I forgot the breakfast.  After all this mess.  It is in the kitchen.  If you're so kind...

— Of course, Priest.

— Bring me a glass of water?

— Yes, Rosie.

— Doctor Cat, can I help you?

— Yes. Keep the cage open.  — Frank holds the cage door.  Doctor Cat tricks the mouse and he enters the cage.  — Let go!  — Frank lets go and the mouse gets trapped.  — Let's go to the next one.

— Nextttt?!

— The ones in the attic, miss.

— Therefore.  — Rosie gets off the bench and goes to the office.

— Frank, take these candles to Rosie.

— Yes!

— The four of them are mobilized to tidy up the church and remove the rats.


Moments later at City Hall...

— Mayor, look at Sparrow's Blog!

— Serial Killer is imprisoned inside a church in Our Lady of the Apocalypse.  The criminal was famous for killing religious and children.

— The danger the priest was in.

— The priest was with God. What worries me is this criminal trapped here.  Get him transferred to Sentral maximum security prison.

— Yes sir.


Two hours later

In the square...

— Looks like we're at a picnic.

— Eating here is very good.

— Mr Nestor!  Daisy is better!

— Frank, remove the wilted or dry parts and it will grow healthy.  — Frank does what the priest says.

— Priest, I've finished chapter one of James.

— Answer me are you constant or fickle in prayer?

— Fickle I can't pray every day.

— I know a lot of these religious influencers who do lives and more lives.  In the beginning they were also fickle.  But the obligation to make a live, a podcast, a blog post et cetera.  They became constant.

— How?

— Make a commitment!

— Do I have to make an appointment with God?

— You can talk to God anytime.  But if you need to make an appointment to remain constant, you need to make an appointment.  Make an appointment with God!

— I understood.  What is anger?

— Will.  When you are so angry, so angry that you scream, hit, punish, break things anyway... God is slow to get angry, but human beings are not.  Anger is one of the seven deadly sins.  When James tells us, "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. For human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness."  (Jam 1: 19-20)*

He invites you to listen more before acting.  And I dare say listen to God more before acting.  Talk less and do more.  And just as God be slow to be angry.  Preferably don't get angry!

Our wrath it destroys everything around.  To pick up these pieces, tidy up, forgive and apologize.  Who has been hit by your anger will find you righteous?

— Not!

— It takes longer to put everything in place than it does to get angry.

— Speaking of a bomb.  What is that at the door of the Church?
