In the square...
— I disarm. — Mr. Nestor disarms the bomb. — Ready!
— Tomorrow I will start a Novena for Our Lady of the Apocalypse. Not! I will start today! I'll ask Rosie to post. Excuse me!
— Of course!
— I'll go look for the police.
— I'm going to the Gym.
Moments later
At the Gym...
— Good afternoon!
— Good afternoon! Teacher!
— Frank, you arrived half an hour early.
— I want to read.
— What book are you reading?
— Letter from James.
— I read Genesis and stopped. You're already at James.
— I started with James.
— Tell me a little.
— I read chapter 2. It tells us about faith. That we should treat everyone the same without making judgments. For whoever judges and judges with mercy is God. And that our faith without works is worthless. For true faith has works. Don't I have to build a church? Judas laughs.
— Not! You have to practice what you learned by reading James. These works are works of charity. Like Mr. Elijah who works with drug addicts. Mrs. Nany who takes care of the orphanage. Priest Michael who donates food baskets. Doctor Raphael who donates some medicines.
— I understood. I would have to help one of them.
— Yes! Or do something similar with your reality.
— Like this?
— You can help the priest organize the food or play with the children at the orphanage. You won't help with money like I do.
— Ah! Understand. After the novena I'm going to talk to the priest.
— Good afternoon!
— Good afternoon, Joe! Let's begin the class?
— Yes!
At night
In front of the Sentralian Christian Church...
— Who put this superstition here? — Elijah looks around and doesn't see anyone. He sets fire to it and starts praying.
— Pastor gone crazy?
— I wasn't! That's how you eliminate what doesn't come from God.
— Anyway, I'll get a bucket of water. — Mark enters the Church.
In the Church of Our Lady of the Apocalypse...
— Good night! Brothers, today I decided to start a novena to our patroness. I thank those who were able to meet our urgent request.
We're meeting in… — The other chandelier fell from the back of the Church. — Sorry brothers, the rats gnawed at the wires. They were taken out today.
— Priest!
— Yes!
— Wouldn't it be better if we prayed in the chapel?
— You're right! Let's go to our chapel of the Holy. — The chapel of the Holy was to the right of the altar. The priest and the faithful go to the chapel and the priest starts over. — Good night! Brothers, today we are going to start the novena of our patroness...
In the square...
Frank comes running because he was late.
— Mr Nestor?!
— I could not resist. — He points to the bottle.
— I'll call the pastor. — Frank runs and when he gets close he sees the fire.
In front of the Sentralian Christian Church...
— Fire?!!!
— Calm! It's under control.
— Pastor, can you help Mr. Nestor? He is lying drunk in the square.
— Clear! Mark, can you go with Chiquinho and get him?
— Yes! Let's go! — Mark leaves the bucket and goes with Frank to the square. The two bring Nestor and take him inside the Church.
— Frak! Now I'm going to give him a bath. Asks your mother for coffee without sugar.
— Right! — Frank goes and after about fifteen minutes he comes back with the coffee bottle. — I've never seen Mr Nestor bathed. — Marcos pours the coffee into a mug.
— Drink it! — Mr. Nestor drinks.
— I'm weak. I can not resist.
— Mr. Nestor, you want to stay in the Church clinic. It's in Meridiana.
— I don't have money to pay.
— We have vacancies for those who don't have money. If you want, I'll sign you up. As soon as Pastor Emanuel authorizes me, I'll take you.
— Accept Mr. Nestor!
— Frank, you spent a morning with me and you have already become my friend.
— It was the busiest morning I've ever known.
— He is well. I accept. Thank you very much, Mark.
— I'll pray they'll let you go soon."
— Me either. — Pastor Elijah comes in with a plate of food.
— Mr. Nestor, it's not much, but it's what I can give you.
— Thanks. Who has friends has Heaven!
