"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8
I parked my car into the driveway. I got out and looked around. I was nervous, a lot. This is my first parish. I just finished my studies and Church gave me my very own first community. Actually, I don't really know what to do here. Good that there are nuns close to where I live. Well, I will live here. I took my stuff and walked forward looking around. I looked towards priests' house. It looked quite normal but there was a Church that needed some work to put in. I walked a bit further and saw nuns house, some children were running around in yard. Oh, I think nobody expected me to come.
"Father, Niall?" I heard a female voice behind me. I turned around glancing at the young nun.
"Yes. Good morning. Sister..?" I gave her my arm to shake.
"Sister Diamond." She gave a warm smile shaking my hand. I smiled too.
"We thought you will come tomorrow but a lady said that you arrived, so I ran here to welcome our new priest." She looked around. "Let me show you around." This woman showed to follow her.
"This is our Church as you can see, Father and we have day center where children come after school. We would be really happy if you come time to time to be with children." She said smiling. This nun looked so passionate about her activities. The way she talked gave positivity, motivation. I can see that she loves her work, we can say like that, with children.
"Of course, sister. I would love to help you with children. That's why I'm here. I love children. I'm simple person just a simple priest next to you. I will try my best to give life to this Church." I smiled glancing over here while we slowly walked to priests' house.
"Thank you, father. Senior nuns went to trip to Vatican and I can say... I'm kinda alone here with all the children. Good thing there are some older girls who help me. Other nuns don't really come out or do their own things. I put my hopes on you, Father." She turned to me. I gave her a warm smile and a nod. Sister gave me a key.
"I have to go or kids will destroy our convent. We have dinner at six." She smiled and quickly ran to children's side.
"No, Sebastian! Don't eat that!" I heard her. I giggled and unlocked the doors walking in. Til I get use to this it will take time. But I will try my best. That nun looked so kind and young. I will need her help a lot.
"Hello?" I said walking around 'cause I heard some footsteps.
"Oh my! Are you the new priest?!" Some lady came running to me. Who is she?
"Yes. I am. Father Niall." I stepped a bit back 'cause I got scared of that woman.
"I'm so sorry, Father Niall. I'm your house cleaner or how you call us. I will make you food, clean this house, clean your clothes." She said breathing heavily and talking fast. She started to kiss my hand. I blinked being confused.
"May God bless you for serving me." I smiled taking her hand to stop her from kissing my hand.
"Oh don't thank me, Father. Let me show you your room. Follow me." She said all nervous. I just followed her with confused look on my face.
"You're really handsome, Father Niall." She said quietly. I blushed a bit.
"Erm, thank you. I will put my stuff. Have a nice day." I blinked going to my room.
"Dear Lord..." I whispered closing the doors.
