something is happening, shifting inside of me. i remember when i was younger, i experienced times of great spiritual growth. but that was just, it's nothing like this. it's like i can feel god move inside me.

he's   read   the   scripture   thousands   of   times,   he   can   recite   the   words   in   english,   in   latin            ―            the   angel   said   to   them,            "   be   not   afraid,   for   i   bring   you   great   news...

he's   read   the   scripture   thousands   of   times,   he   can   recite   the   words   in   english,   in   latin            ―            the   angel   said   to   them,            "   be   not   afraid,   for   i   bring   you   great   news   that   will   cause   great   joy   for   all   of   the   people.   "            why   else   would   the   angel   agreed   to   come   with   him,   to   be   stowed   away   and   brought   back   home            ―            it   had   to   be   an   angel   of   God.

"   for   my   flesh   is   real   food   and   my   blood   is   real   drink.                  whoever   eats   my   flesh   and   drinks   my   blood   remains   in   me,   and   i   in   them            ―            whoever   feeds   on   this   bread   will   live   forever.   "                  this   scripture   is   quite   the   literal   interpretation,   and   perhaps   john   never   imagined   God   would   show   himself   to   him   in   such   a   precise   manner,   but   without   question            ―            it   had   to   be   God.

and   yet,   there   had   always   been   an   underlying   motive.               perhaps   he   would   have   come   back   with   this   angel,   back   to   this   island,   regardless,   but            ―            he   came   back   here   for   millie.               for   sarah.               his   family.               God   was   giving   john   this   opportunity   for   a   second   chance   with   his   family,   or   at   least   this   is   what   john   tells   himself.               every   night,   he   convinces   himself            ―            even   as   he   sucked   the   blood   from   joe's   open   skull,   HE   CONVINCED   HIMSELF.
