СКАЧАТЬ of a sole lounge, bedroom, service area, kitchen and bathroom. In the lounge they made themselves at home on a five-seater settee and one chair.

      He hostess is the first one to speak:

      — Very well, I was just thinking of you, my son. When we met for the first time, your words did a lot of good to me. Nowadays, I am tranquil, living off my pension. Now and again, my grandchildren pay me a visit and when that happens it is that party.

      — How nice that I could help you in some way. I brought this young lady here (pointed to Rafaela) for you two to have a chat. She suffers from depression. (The seer)

      — It will be my pleasure. How are you Rafaela? (Eulalia)

      — I am surviving. Thank you. (Rafaela)

      — We met her at the church of deliverance, in Arcoverde. She arose our attention. (Rafael)

      — Why?

      — Explain to her, brother. (Rafael)

      — She was crying and totally lost. (Uriel)

      — So, we decided to help her. (Added Renato)

      — That shows the greatness of your heart. I admire you. But could you explain the reason for all this? (Eulalia)

      — It is what I also ask. (Restated Rafaela)

      — My father called me to the mission. In some way, I am linked to Rafaela and her to me. We are sister souls from the beginning and I will spare any effort to help her. In any way, I always do that whether the person deserves it or not—Explained the son of God.

      — Thank you. (Rafaela)

      — It is indeed honourable. Congratulations! Tell me colleague, how long have you felt like that? (Eulalia)

      — I am not too sure. I have already gone through many crisis, apparently for banal things. I must admit that if weren’t for the son of God having rescued me, I would be dead, probably jumping off a bridge. (Rafaela)

      — Don’t talk like that. You are young, have many reasons to live and you are very lucky. So, smile! (Eulalia)

      — It is what we are always emphasizing to her. (Rafael)

      — “Indeed, it is not the end. I see good times, of spiritual self-communion, discoveries and happiness. Word of Yahweh”. (Uriel)

      — Amen. Help me Lord! (Rafaela)

      — He is helping, my friend. Have faith! (The son of God)

      — I believe it! (Renato)

      — I also believe it. Teach me! (Rafaela)

      The seer stands up, approaches the young woman and gives her a great warm hug. Resting her head on her lord’s chest, brother and friend, she was conscious that no evil would come to her. This belief calms her down and commotion of the moment made her cry.

      The son of God then bent down and delicately wiped her tears. At this point, he promises himself, his father and the whole of the universe, that in his future kingdom there would be no place for suffering, pain or even death. In it, the humans would be completely happy and would adore his father at the mount Sian. Unlike the human kingdoms, there would be equal rights and people would not be prejudged by the colour of their skin, race, religion, sexual choice or any other reason. Everyone would be children of the same father.

      When he realized that Rafaela had calmed down, he ends the embrace and returns to his seat. The hostess speaks again:

      —Would you like something to drink or eat?

      — Thank you, lady Eulalia. We are leaving. Aren’t we going, guys? (The seer)

      — Yes. (The others agree)

      — Thank you very much for the chat and the hospitality. (The seer)

      — Nothing at all, pay me a visit whenever you want. Good luck, Rafaela. God bless you. (Eulalia)

      — Thank you, lady, for your words of comfort. (Rafaela)

      They all mutually embrace and finally say goodbye. They head to the door, exit and go to the street. After walking a few metres, Rafaela went close to her beloved and says:

      — I am ready! Touch me!

      The son of God smiles. He had been waiting a long time for it. Delicately, he gets closer and stretches his arm touching her dress. Immediately, she feels a mysterious force which simultaneously heals her and discovers her most private secrets. “Take two”:

      “Rafaela continues to grow rapidly: From a sweet little girl, clever and inquisitive, she became a lass with the same qualities. On the family life she maintained a good relationship with her parents, and on the social life she was active, attended the main events being respected by her nature and values. On the intellectual side, she stood out in her class, passing the primary and high school with honours.

      However, that bad feeling remained inside her only waiting for the right moment to explode again. It is a recently discovered phenomenon, but which existed from the beginning of times, having recently got the status of disease. Its most common symptoms are: Deep sadness, feeling of guilt, difficulty in sleeping and concentrate, low self-esteem and suicidal ideas. Rafaela Ferreira felt most of those in her crisis.

       The second event to initiate again the illness, was at the time of the college admission exam. After a year of intense preparation, Rafaela took several tests at public universities in the Capital. A month later, the results came out simultaneously, and she had failed them all. This gave her a great shock even despite the few chances. Let me explain. For being poor, Rafaela had always attended basic governmental schools, where the teaching was of a lower standard than at private schools. Despite being intelligent, that fact was undisputable. The other important factor was the lack of studying material during the preparation. However, with everything against her, she was expecting something good or a miracle, and the total failure it was a shock, although it was the most probable thing to happen.

      From then on, she spent two weeks at home, in isolation and suffering until a school mate paid her a visit, who had also failed the same exams. In an honest talk, they consoled each other and promised to carry on. In the end, they were young and failing the exams, was not going to mark them forever as inefficient. “There is no indefinite failure nor success. Life was made of ups and downs, and the secret of happiness consisted of always believe in a way out.”

      “Both then restarted their lives”

      The seer takes the hand away. How much has this young girl suffered! It was not fair to her or anyone else to live with so many failures and pain. It was then that with a penetrating look he faced her and the group, declaring:

      — I know better than anybody else what is suffering. In my childhood, I have lived with poverty daily, lack of understanding, subjection and human injustice. In my adolescence, in order not to hurt my relatives, I lived a personality and consequently I didn’t live life in full. A while later, I reached the extreme of darkness and criminality. It was at this point that the father acted and rescued me. Today I am a reborn man, honest and happy. Is there any secret? It СКАЧАТЬ
