Chapter 82 Blessed are those who remain
Regarding today's result, Garris had naturally thought about it in advance.
"Everyone! Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Today is the rest time on Sunday. My Father's holy number is seven. Everyone is in this day of rest and bathing in my Father's grace. It is natural for us to have Reward.”
"Every brother should go and get 7 silver coins today, so that from now on, you will all know one thing, there are no permanent slaves in the world! There are no servants for generations!"
"Let us congratulate each other on the new life, and you will sing the [Three Sacred Songs] with me!"
Garris directed the many Franks present with his hands and asked them to sing together.
"Holy! Holy! Holy!"
"Lord of hosts, your glory fills the whole earth!"
"The cheers resounded through the sky!"
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
"The cheers resounded through the sky!"
The Trinita, or "Holy, Holy, Holy", comes from Revelation 6:3 and is the oldest part of the Catholic Mass.
Now, Garris used this song, which is familiar to Catholics, to arouse the emotions of all Christians present. It also made everyone look at him with admiration and gratitude.
For Gareth, what if each of these two hundred people was given seven silver coins?
According to what he knew, these 200 people were on average 3 silver coins short of the self-redemption requirement of 3 gold dinars.
In other words, after completing self-redemption, the people in front of them could actually take away only 800 silver coins, or 70 gold dinars.
Using these 70 gold dinars to buy the heartfelt gratitude of more than two hundred people is much better than leaving them as slaves.
But when the chorus of “Holy! Holy! Holy! After the cheers ended, many people looked confused, and many of them realized a fact.
Just when Garis was about to turn around and leave, a man younger than Garis asked from behind: "Prophet, are you trying to drive us away?"
Prophets, yes, they have witnessed the miracles performed by Garis. After experiencing the unprecedented collective life in these two months, they have reached a consensus among themselves.
Gareth is indeed a prophet. He not only holds the grace of God, but also brings unprecedented knowledge, and has an immortal heart of a lion.
Most of these soldiers are just freedmen in Leonard Manor. They have to pay taxes like the villagers here all year round.
It's just that because he is also responsible for military service, Leonard squeezes them less.
But this doesn't mean that they are really grateful to Leonard.
It's just that they have never seen the light in the past, so they can endure the darkness.
They never imagined how freely people could live after being freed from the oppression of the manor.
It is true that there is endless soil to be dug here, but he gives money!
Indeed, self-redemption requires 3 gold coins, which will drain their money, but they are prisoners of war!
Prisoners of war, in this era, could have been sold directly as slaves, but Garris still regarded them as human beings and gave them a chance to redeem themselves.
What an act of kindness?
What's more, there are not many serious churches in the entire Transjordan Territory. Even if they live in a manor, they don't have the opportunity to go to church to participate in [Mass] every week.
However, in the village of Skar, a [prophet] would come every week to preach and explain their doubts, listen to their confessions, and tell them the answers to their lives. In their opinion, Garris's theological attainments obviously surpassed all the priests known in the past.
Because they have never seen Garris need to prepare a lecture note and read the Bible when he is preaching!
In addition, working on the construction site, eating, drinking, and eating are all coordinated by the villagers of Skar Village. Apart from work every day, there are no other worries at all. How can there be any worries?
As for digging in the soil and enduring hardship? Medieval peasants, who did not endure hardship every day, had long been accustomed to and numb...
But now, in the past two months, they have been eating and drinking without any worries.
Many people feel uncomfortable when they think that this collective life is coming to an end.
This simple, pure joy was something they had never experienced before.
Hearing the questions from the people behind him, Garris paused, turned around and said to the people present who were about to be freed: "If you want to stay, then stay. The door of the church is open to all those who want to seek enlightenment." Open.”
"Holy! Holy! Holy!"
"Lord of hosts, your glory fills the whole earth!"
Once again, after hearing what Garris said clearly, quite a few people subconsciously shouted. Only in this way can they express the joy in their hearts.
Even the clouds in the sky seemed like angels spreading their wings for a moment, blowing the sacred trumpet to welcome the Heavenly Father.
However, Garris then said to the child who asked if he wanted to drive people away: "By the way, Charlie, you can't stay, you have to go home."
"Huh?"
The young man opened his mouth slightly after hearing what Garris said.
"Why, why?"
"Your parents are still alive, and they only have you as their only child. How can you bear to let your parents miss you and suffer so much every day?"
"But..." The young man Charlie was a little dumb. He only thought that there was a passage in the scriptures that could be used to respond to Garris's statement, but he couldn't explain it clearly or remember it for a while.
"I know what you want to say. [Whoever loves his parents more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves his children more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." Disciples.]"
"That's it, Prophet, is there something wrong?" Others on the side were also quite curious,
"Everyone, please do not take this passage literally, let alone misunderstand it."
"My brother Jesus was begotten of the Father, not created by the Father. He is of the same sex and substance with the Father. Since he ascended into heaven, he has sat at the right hand of the Father. This heaven is not the sky, but that which is everywhere. Kingdom of heaven, so you are as close to my brother as brothers wherever you walk on this earth.”
"My brother is like this, and so am I. No matter where you are, as long as you are willing to walk on the right path, you will be with me. You don't need to stay in front of me all the time."
"Your parents in this world raise you, miss you, and care about you. Therefore, when they are alive, you must take care of them and love them. This is not just to follow them foolishly, but to hold their hands and walk together on the right path. , this is the true meaning of my brother’s words.”
"In this way, you who walk in the right path are with me, together with your parents, and you are all my disciples."
