"And now," said the hermit, tells me, I pray thee, what was your life, what you have done nothing to hide or lie. - Only today, "said Percival, with anxiety as I understand how long I wandered without a guide, deprived of the aid of joy. I feel overwhelmed because I did nothing else but look for fights. And I am very angry in my heart against God because, not content to encourage everyone worries that assail me, he has grown relentlessly. All happiness for me has been buried in a tomb. If this God telling me about my mother, God she described to me as being the best and brightest in the world that was, I had received his help, my joy would not have known bounds. Now my soul today in a dark bottomless pain. - Child, interrupted the hermit, have you ever asked God to help her? - No, Percival confessed, I relied too much on my strength, my courage and my courage. - Then said the hermit, do not be surprised by you feel so alone and abandoned. "
Perceval remained silent. The hermit sighed and said:" Child, I know you're better than you pretend. But you have to trust God and keep you from uttering words that are all blasphemies. I want to show that God, far from being responsible in any way from your troubles, instead it will be always ready to assist you. Although I am not a cleric, I read and copied from my hand the teachings of truth books. I know that man must always stand ready to serve. So he deserves the support of one who never tires of attending the souls in distress. Be firm in your faith and do not let yourself invaded by doubt. Yes, God is light, but it is also truth and justice, and neither violence nor thy wrath did grab his help. Anyone who sees you angry against God will hold you for a man of little sense. Think of what happened to Lucifer and all the angels who followed him. Yet, originally, they were good beings and bright. Ah! God! whence they came hatred that led, after dark fighting in a place of suffering and misery?
When Lucifer, with his retinue, sank into hell, God replaced him with a man he took the earth and formed the noble Adam. The body of Adam, Eve, which he sent to refusing to listen to his creator, we all ran into misfortune and ruined all our happiness. These two beings were born children, but one of them, yielding to excess, came by an inconceivable pride to sully his grandmother, which was still a virgin. Yet many people, before they understood the meaning of these words, amazed and wondering how something like this could happen. It happened yet, and this was a very serious mistake. "
Percival interrupted:" Bel uncle, he said, I can not believe it has been. What father was therefore born man who steals the virginal purity of his grandmother as thou the stories? You would have done better to keep silent on this point! - I'll explain it to you yet, "replied the hermit, and if I'm not saying the honest truth, look at me like a deceptive abomination. Do not stop at words, but understand its meaning. It is the land which was the mother of Adam, since he ate the fruits of the earth. In that time, land was still a virgin. But Adam was the father of Cain, who slew his brother Abel for competing for a very miserable. And when Abel's blood fell on the pure land, c'en was due to her virginity. You see now how the son of Adam steals the innocence of his own grandmother? - I see, "said Perceval.
- Then said the hermit, born of hatred among people, and this hatred has never stopped since. However, there is nothing so pure a virgin in the world free from falsehood, and God himself was the son of a virgin. It was modeled on the image of the first son of a virgin and that, from a being a gasoline so high, showed his great love for men. With Adam's race course began our misfortune, but also our happiness as He who is master of all angels condescend to recognize us as being from his lineage. Alas! this lineage also leads us to a heavy load of sins we must bear.
To bear it, we must pray God to give us his help. If we are sincere, he never refuses. Having, loyal love, clothed in human form, he, by eagerness loyal, fiercely opposed disloyalty. So do any grudge against him if you do not want to jeopardize your destiny. Show yourself less reckless in your words and your actions. I'll tell you what punishment awaits those who claims to avenge his sufferings in words of excess: he himself is condemned by his own mouth. Believe in the testimony of the sages of ancient times: it is always true and we guarantee the truth of this speech. Plato had already said in his time, and the Sibyl also, who was a prophetess. Without being wrong in anything, they announced, many years in advance, the arrival of some one who would redeem the human race. He whose hand rules the universe has, with his divine love, torn from the darkness of hell there is left only those who do not know how to control their passions.
Fair words of these prophets tell us of one who truly knows love. It is a light that penetrates to the bottom of everything. Nothing can stagger the force of love. Anyone who expresses his love know that love in an intense joy. But in this world men act very differently: they may at their discretion, to acquire his love or incurring their anger. Ask yourself which one you will be of great help. The unfortunate man who feels repentance point of leaking the loyal love of God, the man who recognizes his mistakes and wishes to atone attracts a grace without price. This grace will come to him from that probe to the depths of our innermost thoughts. For thought can escape the gaze of the sun, thinking, although no lock can shut up, may remain hidden, impenetrable to any creature, but in some darkness she takes pleasure, God easily deciphered. It has the power of any light, and its brilliance shines through the dark wall which envelops the mind, it plunges to the bottom of a momentum that no one sees or can not hear.
When thinking springs from the depths of ourselves, it is never so fast that God has had time to examine the heart before it happens to the skin. And when this thought is pure, he greets him with kindness. If God knows all our thoughts and enter, what must not be his grief at the actions that dictates our weakness! When a man works to dismiss him the favor of God and God overwhelm with shame, what relief it would be the world's knowledge? Where his poor soul could she find refuge? If you're determined to afflict God, it is ultimately you yourself that afflict most. So turn your heart toward the good, deserves God reward your good will. "
