<< Chapter 4

On the day of the Last Supper…

I went to the market with Matthew. We passed the chicken vendor:

"Meow!"

"Hello, little friend. Your piece." He gave me a piece. "Where's your cat?" I started explaining that she had kittens.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!" Matthew arrived:

"Giving lessons again, Theo." I stayed quiet.

"I asked about the cat that came with him the last few times."

"Cleo had twelve kittens yesterday."

"Ah!" He prepared a small package and gave it to me. "Take it to her. Be a good father!" Matthew thanked me and we returned to the house where we were staying. When we arrived I saw the Devil next to Judas. I placed the package on a stone and went to fight him. I gave him several scratches, but he had no body.

"Theo, are you fighting with my shadow?" I didn't listen to Judas and kept scratching the Devil. Judas threw a glass of water at me. I stopped." Calmed down?"

"Theo, take the present to Cléo. She and the puppies are waiting for you." I obeyed Mateus. "Here's the bag. I bought enough for supper."

"Thank you very much. Mateus, are all fathers stressed?"

"Only when something is wrong."

After meeting with his disciples for the Last Supper, Jesus invited three of them to go with him to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane. And I went along. His anguish was so great, so very great, that he spent a long time talking to God.

"Peter, I've never seen Jesus like this."

"Friends, let's pray as he taught us."

"Our Father…"

Around the tenth Our Father they fell asleep. Then Jesus woke them and returned to his prayers. They prayed the Our Father again and fell asleep again. Then, behold…

"This is my chance to stop you, Emanuel."

"Get away!" Yes, I meowed, but he understood me.

"Theo, you little kitten, are you going to challenge me?"

"You're the small one here! I can't believe a third of the angels fell for your trick. Because you didn't want to worship a human. Now you're smaller than an insect. To talk to you now, we have to look down. Your fall was the greatest of all. You broke completely. You can't even make music anymore."

"You insolent one! Of course I can. Ahhh…" A completely out-of-tune sound came out.

"Do you want me to call a human to sing for you? Hmmm… David!"

"Oh, you… I didn't come here to talk to a lowlife like you. I came to convince Jesus to stay here."

"But he won't!"

"He's distressed. Excuse me, brat!" Then the Devil tried to pass me by, and I scratched him. But he had no form. Jesus heard the noise. He blessed the water and threw it at the Devil."

"This burns!!!" The Devil disappears.

"Master, forgive my incompetence."

"You did well. You prevented him from tempting me. I am very distressed. I thought they could help me." He points to the three sleeping.

"They prayed, but their tiredness was greater than them. Why am I talking?"

"Thank you for always being around. You're not, I understand your meows."

"Meow!" I pointed to the approaching soldiers.

"Help me wake my friends. Then go tell my mother that the hour of the prophecy has arrived." We woke the three disciples. I went to Cleopas' house where Mary was with her sister. The two were looking at the sky and remembering the last Passover.

"I'm going to sleep. Don't be late!" I'll be right in. "The sister went in and Mary motioned for me to come closer."

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Jesus?"

"Meow!" My human side came back to me "Jesus asked me to tell you that the prophecy will be fulfilled."

"A sword will pierce my soul." She was silent for a while and finally said: "I will need help. Like Moses, I will intercede so that Jesus wins this battle. But just like Moses, I will need someone to support me to remain firm in my purpose."

"Meow!" John Mark arrives:

"Madam, he has been arrested."

"Tell your brothers!"

"Yes." We went in.
