“I can see that you are very upset. But you have to try and understand that you have stumbled into something that is strong and unyielding. It is not of this world. It does not fear God.” Then I understood what was wrong; the priest was afraid. But how could a priest, a holy man of God be afraid? If the priest were reluctant, what were my chances? A very faint voice whispered, “He isn’t going to be able to help you. No one can.”
