Metien's words silenced the table for a moment, and then everyone turned their attention to the little pink-haired girl who looked excited and excited, including Ringer. He seemed to have not heard his sister's words clearly and asked again.
He said again: "Medine, did you just say... that you want to preach to the Ashes Guerrilla people?"
"Um!"
Metien nodded his head vigorously, his face flushed, and he was proud of having thought of such a good idea: "Since they have lost their faith in that god, why not try to get comfort from other gods?
?And the goddess and those fake
God and the evil god are different. He will never abandon anyone. If they all come to believe in the goddess, they can not only find their spiritual home again, but also heal the scars in their souls and truly say goodbye to their past.
Then face the future with a new self.”
"Everyone needs a kind of spiritual comfort, especially people like them who live in war and chaos, and face death and fear at any time. I have noticed when I treated their injuries before, those people
In fact, his mental state is not stable, and the psychological trauma may even be more serious than the physical trauma. If there is no way to treat it, even if the physical body can be healed, the mental state will soon collapse, right?"
The little pink-haired girl said seriously: "The book says that psychotherapy is also an effective treatment method. The comfort and enlightenment of words, the comfort of gestures and movements, and maybe even just a caring look can make people feel better."
Patients regain hope for life and reduce and eliminate physical symptoms. Naturally, faith is also one of the methods. It is not to let them entrust all their hopes to gods, but to make those who have already
Forgotten and sunk emotions are lost and recovered.”
For example, the piety and peace of mind when praying to the gods; when silently reciting the teachings of the gods in the heart, the body will unconsciously perform them; resonating with people who share the same faith, encouraging and comforting each other... These things, Metien has witnessed with his own eyes
I have experienced it before, even personally, when Tianxin Church was still standing at No. 13 Songshi Street, Holy Cross District.
When Ringo was still a pastor, standing on the altar and looking down at the ragged believers, he may have felt that the greatest help Tianxin Church could provide to these poor people was nothing more than the milk and bread distributed during each seven-day ceremony. However,
, Metien, who has never stood on the altar but has come into contact with them through close observation, can tell you with certainty that this is not the case.
More than once, she saw homeless people participating in the Seven Day Ceremony generously sharing the bread and milk they had waited in line for three hours in the bleak winter with their companions who did not get a quota. They often shrank.
In a corner of the street, it felt like I had been hungry for a week without eating.
He devours the food greedily, completely ignoring the restraint and manners, but after eating the last bit of bread crumbs and licking the last trace of milk stain on his lips, he will use clumsy postures and movements to salute to the church, praising the goddess in a low voice.
Occasionally, Metien would hear his and his brother's names.
She also saw more than once that her neighbors who also lived on Songshi Street would always dig out shabby beddings, old clothes that had been washed white, and some poor-quality but not spoiled food from their homes every night before the Seven-day Ceremony.
, talking about throwing away garbage, but placed them not far from the church, so that the homeless people who rush here in the middle of the night can queue up.
Han or poor people would not suffer from hunger and cold in the subzero cold wind. But whenever Metien came to thank him for this and wanted to write down their names and donations in the Tianxin Church registration book,
But they always waved their hands and refused, insisting that they did not do that. They were not like the deceased Mr. Yang Ke, who always had "extravagant kindness."
What kind of kindness is considered luxurious? Medien didn't know. She was still young and ignorant, but she just felt a warm power from these duplicitous actions. Once, she could not accurately express this power in her own words.
She described it, but after experiencing so many things, she suddenly understood that it was faith.
When his father was still alive, he said that getting comfort is faith; when he was in the Evangelical College, Ringer told himself that spiritual and material harmony is faith; and now, Metien said to himself, creating a kind of letting go
An environment where everyone feels at ease and peaceful, then
It's faith. In this environment, everyone is resonating with the people around them, and everyone can clearly perceive the emotions of others. At the same time, the barriers to understanding between people are also unconsciously
Melted together, they share hope together regardless of each other.
Therefore, homeless people who are supposed to be competitors will share food with each other. They do not know that it is faith, but they can feel each other's coldness and hunger. Therefore, neighbors who think kindness is too extravagant are willing to share supplies with strangers, and they do not
They didn’t know that that was faith, they just wanted to pass on the warmth that Mr. Yang Ke had brought them to the next person; so, standing on the altar, Ringer couldn’t see all of this. He also didn’t know that that was faith, only
The pink-haired little girl saw it and finally got the answer after thinking for a long time.
"That's faith."
Metien clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at his brother seriously, his eyes clear and bright: "It can heal all their injuries."
Ling Ge also looked at his sister seriously, and saw that there was no hesitation or confusion in her eyes, which were as pure as an emerald green gem. Difficulties sometimes frustrate people's confidence, but sometimes they sharpen their will. Young people
I couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Did you think of all this on your own, Metien?" he asked softly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is it...?" Metien nodded firmly at first, but suddenly became a little shy and lowered his head in embarrassment: "There are some more
I read it in books, and sister Livia also shared some stories with me. She taught me that I should think about issues from the perspective of a true believer."
Sister Livia shook her head after hearing this: "I just followed the instructions given by Her Majesty the Goddess in the "Canon", and these insights were obtained by Medien herself. I am very ashamed. In fact, I still don't understand it.
What does it mean to be a true believer?”
After saying that, she took a deep look at Metien. With her sincere praise and respect, she was probably thinking that the Holy Spirit, worthy of being loved by the goddess, could understand His admonitions so thoroughly... and so on.
Yes. In short, the pink-haired little girl looked very embarrassed, and the blush on her face had spread to her neck.
From Sister Livia's answer, Ringer once again confirmed that his sister had indeed grown up.
When she was in the Evangelical College, she made a suggestion to Ringe to rebuild the Tianxin Church, and even wanted to preach to those aliens and magicians who were jointly persecuted by the sect. But at that time, she made this decision just because
It was just to inherit his adoptive father's career and prevent his life-long efforts from being wasted by a mere "religious decree". As for what he really wanted to do, he had never seriously thought about it, so that when faced with his brother's questioning, he was speechless.
To right.
As for today, she is already qualified to call herself a true believer.
Just like Rochelle once recognized Ringo as a "true believer," Ringo also recognized Metien, although he didn't know whether he was qualified to recognize others, and in whose name should he recognize others. In his own name?
In the name of Mr. Yang Ke? Or in the name of the goddess? His existence is too small, and perhaps no one can represent it.
In the end, the only person who has not grown up is himself.
Lin Ge laughed at himself, and then said to his sister: "Now, you are the heir of Tianxin Church, so just do what you want. However, you must pay attention to the standards of preaching and don't cross other people's bottom lines; and don't be optimistic about the results.
With too much expectation, this matter is more difficult than you think, so just do your best."
After experiencing the break with the God of the Original Night, Carson Borg's distrust of the gods is visible to the naked eye, and he probably only maintains superficial respect. This can be seen from his many times praising the goddess that Ringer serves.
, his tone was full of awe, but he never asked for any details about this church. From history to doctrine, from history to inheritance, it can be seen from this that he was completely indifferent.
Those who have been abandoned by God have also abandoned God, and those who have been abandoned by faith have also abandoned faith. Carson Berg is the leader and spiritual support of the Ashes Guerrilla. He enjoys high prestige in the hearts of these resisters. They are willing to follow him.
All people agree with his theory
He did not care about his status as a god-abandoner. It was even possible that these people were among the believers abandoned by the original night god in the past. They joined the group to keep warm. In this land where gods and beliefs grow wildly,
A strange fortress was built.
It is not easy to break through this fortress from the outside. Metien has an advantage in this matter. She is not only the pastor of Tianxin Church, but also a doctor, who selflessly lends a helping hand to the Ashes Guerrilla.
They have already won their favor innately. Even if the missionary mission fails, at least it will not arouse the other party's resentment.
. But similarly, she also has a disadvantage of age. If Linge comes to preach, maybe most of them, even if they don't like gods, will patiently listen to his teachings, just like the gray one.
Qiu Zhiying. But when faced with the preaching of a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl, who would take her words full of piety and sincerity seriously?
In addition, the most important point that cannot be ignored is that the current Holy Goddess Religion cannot actually promise anything.
The goddess standing on the altar has long been unable to respond to the voices of believers.
The original God of Night was expelled for disobeying the expectations of believers. If another god still cannot hear his prayers and appeals, then what difference does it make whether he believes in God or not? The more silent the god is, the more likely the Ashes Guerrilla will be.
The more people believe that power can only come from their own hands, and gods cannot be expected.
We cannot judge for ourselves whether such an idea is right or wrong. However, it is indeed an obstacle to the pink-haired little girl's missionary journey.
Metien was too young to have thought of this, so Ringer vaccinated her in advance to avoid having too much expectations, which would backfire on her and lead to her being devastated. In addition to verbal reminders, he also specifically warned Sister Livia.
, I hope she will take good care of Meridian and use her own experience to assist and guide her, so as to prevent the girl from making a mistake and entering a deadlock.
But Metien refused Sister Livia's help.
"I want to try it myself!"
The little pink-haired girl clenched her fists, with a serious look on her face: "Since Lin Ge has recognized me as the heir of Tianxin Church, then I must not embarrass my father! As the heir of Tianxin Church, this is
If I always rely on you and sister Livia for the tests I should go through, wouldn’t it be equivalent to not growing at all?”
She spoke so righteously that Ringer didn't know how to react.
Whether he is happy or worried, there seems to be a little bit of it.
On the other hand, Gloria next to her started rolling her eyes when she heard this, not knowing what she was planning. There were two other friends who came over nervously as soon as they heard what Metien said.
, means that we are close friends and we must advance and retreat together!
"I can help you preach, Metien!" Xie Mi patted his chest and vowed: "I am a traveler elf, the friendliest elf race. As long as I am by your side, they will be willing to believe you!"
"I can help you too, Meridian!" Xie Mi was not to be outdone, but she was not a traveler fairy. The vampire's reputation in the Eastern Continent seemed to be as subtle as their reputation in the Western Continent, so she rolled her eyes and calculated.
In my mind: "I am rich... No, grandma is rich, so I am rich too! If you want to hold that seven-day ceremony, no matter how much milk and bread you have, I will help you out!"
She has a lot of money, but the old vampire woman whose gold coins were exposed has a complicated expression. She has probably already thought about how to teach this prodigal granddaughter tonight.
Merdine thought about it over and over again, but couldn't stand their slander...I mean, she couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the two friends, so she agreed smoothly, probably because she felt that these two people were different from Sister Livia.
Right. Sister Livia was once the Holy Son of the True Spirit Sect and has a lot of experience in preaching. If she came to help him, it would be equivalent to cheating, and the test would be meaningless; and Xie Mi and Maidien came to help him...
...It seems there is not much difference, it looks the same as having it and not having it.
Maybe they are also part of the test?
After figuring this out, she immediately felt at ease.
"Leave it to me, Ringo!"
She confidently said to her brother: "I will definitely convey the grace of the goddess to their hearts, so that everyone can cheer up again!"
At this time, the girl did not say anything like "inheriting her father's will" or "reviving Tianxin Church".
Because she has deeply realized the true meaning of faith.
