The next day, in the early morning…
“Nun Griselda, it’s Gerome.”
Gerome knocked on the door and called out. He had been thinking about Nun Griselda all night, so early in the morning, he came to the outside of Griselda’s room. Unlike last night when there was no response, this time, not long after he knocked, the door to the room opened, revealing Griselda’s figure.
“Good morning, Clergy Gerome. Is there something you need?”
Griselda, looking radiant and pure, smiled and greeted Gerome. He was dumbfounded, wondering if he was seeing things. The Nun Griselda before him was full of vitality and completely different from the weary figure he had seen yesterday.
Additionally, it might just be his imagination, but the present Nun Griselda not only exuded a pure and sacred aura but also an astonishing charm that he had never seen before. For a moment, Gerome couldn’t help but be captivated.
“Clergy Gerome, did you come about yesterday’s matter?”
“Please forgive my rudeness yesterday. But I’m perfectly fine now. Thank you for your concern.”
Griselda, sharp and perceptive, naturally understood why Gerome was so surprised. She also knew the purpose of his visit, so she smiled gently and spoke.
“G-Griselda, what… what exactly happened?”
Finally coming to his senses, Gerome also noticed his own awkwardness. His face turned red, but at this moment, he was more concerned about what had happened. Why had Nun Griselda undergone such a drastic change overnight?
“To be honest, recently I’ve had some doubts about my Belief…” Sighing softly, Griselda explained.
“Doubts about your Belief!”
Surprised, Gerome couldn’t help but exclaim. Just like practitioners sometimes face the risk of demonic influence during their training, believers also often experience doubts about their own Beliefs. This was a very dangerous situation, as most of the lost and fallen individuals in the Church had gone through this.
To think that a devout living saint like Nun Griselda would experience something like this! It suddenly all made sense. No wonder Nun Griselda looked so haggard, and why she had been repenting and praying before the Lord’s God’s Idol so often lately…
“Nun Griselda, then you…”
“As you can see, I’m perfectly fine now, and my Belief has stabilized.”
With a gentle and pure smile, Griselda replied. Believers who experience doubts about their Beliefs usually end up with one of two outcomes. Either their Belief completely collapses, leading to them becoming lost and fallen, or they hold onto themselves, becoming even more pure and devout.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Gerome realized he had been foolish. Since Nun Griselda appeared before him, it meant that she had already overcome the ordeal. He felt embarrassed for getting so unnecessarily worked up just now.
However, it was because he cared deeply for Nun Griselda. Gerome couldn’t bear to imagine the horrifying scene if Nun Griselda were to become their enemy after falling.
“You truly are Nun Griselda. I knew everything would be alright if it was you.”
The atmosphere had lightened considerably, and Gerome sincerely praised her. Not everyone can hold onto themselves when their Belief wavers and he himself had no confidence in doing so. Yet, Nun Griselda had achieved it. She was truly exceptional.
“Actually, it was the arrival and guidance of the Lord that helped me cast away all doubts and confusion, allowing me to regain a new life.”
Shaking her head, Griselda replied.
“That’s truly… The Lord’s arrival?!”
Gerome, who had been about to say something subconsciously, suddenly widened his eyes, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.
“The real presence of the Lord descended here last night, not only forgiving my sins but also guiding me with radiant light,” Griselda said, her hands pressed against her chest in a gesture of reverence. Her beautiful face was filled with boundless devotion and fascination.
Gerome, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but inhale sharply. Given his position in the Church, he wasn’t privy to the fact that the Lord had passed away.
He knew that it had been a long time since the Lord had personally appeared on Earth; all oracles and blessings were carried out by Archangels like Michael and Gabriel.
For Nun Griselda to receive the Lord’s personal visit and guidance was a tremendous honor.
“Sister Griselda, did the Lord truly descend last night?” Gerome asked, his lips dry, seeking confirmation.
Smiling and nodding, Griselda thought to herself that not only did the Lord descend, but He also bestowed upon her an unparalleled grace. Even now, she could still feel the warmth left by the Lord inside her.
Upon receiving confirmation from Griselda, Gerome felt a surge of excitement. He looked at Griselda with admiration.
“Clergy Gerome, please keep the fact of the Lord’s visit here confidential for now. Do not disclose it to others,” Griselda suddenly said, her tone turning serious.
“Why is that?” Gerome didn’t quite understand. He had been planning to spread this good news to the others in the church. While they hadn’t been as fortunate as Nun Griselda to receive the Lord’s direct guidance, just the fact that the Lord had visited their church was something they could be immensely proud of.
“It is the Lord’s command,” Griselda said calmly, offering no further explanation.
Gerome immediately held his tongue, not daring to ask any further. If it was the Lord’s command, then there must be a reason. He would simply follow it obediently. However, since the Lord had commanded secrecy, yet Griselda had chosen to inform him, could it be that she had a special…
Filled with joy, Gerome couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild. This young man certainly had a penchant for fantasizing.
“Clergy Gerome, as you can see, I am perfectly fine now. If there is nothing else, you may return.”
“Alright. Please help me summon the other sisters from the church. Ask them to come to my room.”
“Do you need something from them, Sister Griselda?”
“Please don’t ask too much.”
Seeing Griselda’s pretending-to-be-serious expression, Gerome suddenly revealed a knowing smile.
“I understand, Sister Griselda. Leave it to me!”
Patting his chest, Clergy Gerome happily went off to fetch the sisters for Griselda. Griselda’s lips twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless. She hadn’t said anything, so she wondered what that naive boy thought he understood.
However, remembering the Lord’s command to her, Griselda quickly pushed Gerome’s matter out of her mind. This was the first task that the Holy Lord had entrusted to her, and she had to do it well. Besides, the Lord had promised that if she succeeded, He would descend again to bestow His grace upon her.
Thinking of the Lord’s grace bestowed upon her last night, Griselda’s body grew warm once more…
