God's feet brought him to a large building with a red cross on it. Inside, people swarms left and right busy tending to the sick.
"A hospital."
One of the nurse came right up to him.
"Are you the priest?"
"An interesting question but I do have the authority of it."
"Great! I am glad you are here, Father! The patients are waiting to be blessed."
The nurse grab his hand and dragged him to the nearest closet.
"Here. The priest robes that you place here a week ago. We kept it clean and tidy."
"Is it a tradition to place priestly robes on a place you are going to bless?"
"Hahaha you Father is such a joker. I also ask my superiors about and you tell them that it is better because you tend to forgot wearing it."
"What a slothful servant."
"Surely, you jest. In any case, you are late to your appointments. Call me back after you are done."
The nurse left the room and let God wore the robes.
"I am done."
"W-wow..."
Muttered the nurse as she gaze at God's figure. It fits him... rather, it fits him too well. The nurse and the people couldn't help but feel a divine and holy presence surrounding this priest.
"Where shall I start? Can you guide me?"
"Y-yes!"
God's steps are quiet and full of reverence, his eyes glint with wisdom and his presence was holy. As if laying your hands on him would heal any ailments in your body.
To God, wearing this clothes means that he is at work again. Though sufficient to say that this barely represent himself but it is enough for the people to recognize.
His seriousness and dedication to his work never changes.
"Are you alright, Child?"
God said to a weakened lady on the bed. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"N-no... I am not alright..."
God hold her hands, filling it with warmth that washing away all her worries.
"Then it will going to be alright."
Why is it that God had permitted sickness comes to this world? poverty? and weakness?
Why? Why me?
Is the question that all patients have in mind.
But God gently answered,
"Dont worry, everything will be alright."
The nurse observes God as he one by one serve the patients. She felt rather serene. Though their sickness remains, their hearts had made peace.
Golden rays of the sun illuminated everytime God put his hand to comfort as if nature had shared their help to the sick and needy.
"Thank you, Father. Those patients... they are all grateful that you came."
"No worries, my child. I am also thankful for this opportunity to serve you and them in some way."
"I... I really thank you..."
"You are a good child. Well then, I'll be on my way."
"Thank you once again!"
God go out from the hospital, the nurse put the robes back to the storage room with great reverence.
She never was a religious person neither do his parents and friends. But seeing that priest perform his duties with great respect and people blessed by his hands comforted... perhaps, God do really exists and is mindful of every human in this world.
She heard a ruckus on the reception desk.
"What do you mean another priest has took over? I am suppose to be scheduled here!"
"I am sorry. But the ceremony is done."
"What do you mean done? Didn't I tell your boss that I'll be the one performing it? I even leave my robes here in case I'll be late!"
The nurse comes,
"Please don't shout in the hospital. There are lot of people resting here. And I am sure that the priest has done its duties, I am the one accompanied him."
"You let a wannabe to be a priest? I am suppose to bless those people! Your boss has a deal with me!"
"Pardon my rudeness but, by the way you behave, I dont recognize you as one."
"Cheh! I'll remember this! Especially you!"
Enraged, the priest ran off from the hospital. The hospital staff were quite relived of the noisy guy but at the same time they were worried about the nurse who stood against him.
"Are you going to be fine?" the receptionist asks.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. After all, I dont want to ruin my image of a priest because of him."
"I do agree but the boss wont like it."
"Sigh... it's fine. I plan to resign anyway."
"I see... oh by the way a letter came. It is for you."
"Let me see... oh gosh..."
"What is it?"
"My application as a nurse overseas is accepted!"
"Congrats!"
The nurse smiled somehow, thanking God in her heart.
