Chapter 693: Preaching Footprints

In the dark night of the Apal war zone, flashes of spirituality and wisdom still cleanse the people surrounding the altar.

"How can man benefit God? Well, take the opening sentence of Master Lavoisier. The literal meaning should be... Those who are as insignificant as the mortal world do not need to think about bringing any benefit to the Lord or any warning to the wicked. A wise man can only benefit himself."

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, the Pope and his entourage standing on the side nodded in satisfaction.

I also have great appreciation for Father Alexis, the initiator of the idea and the question.

The gospel of the saint on this altar can be revealed, and both believers and non-believers can gain such a deep understanding.

It’s thoughtful. It’s really thoughtful.

This rhetorical style, metaphorical techniques, and the use of various allusions, which are similar to church scriptures or prayers, are actually the styles that have been gradually explored and formed by generations of church ancestors in their pursuit of glory, and can better carry the hidden knowledge of the "candle"!

Ordinary people will also be more likely to receive blessings and enlightenment by reciting these sentences.

This is also the reason why the "Lavoisier Gospel" was able to receive gospel testimony and was included in the "Illuminati Book" as a continuation of the classics.

As for Father Alexis, although it can be seen that he did his homework in preparing his “question speech”, it still requires a very high level and a pious attitude to be able to write such a thing!

Not to mention the general public, even the best students in the seminary find it difficult to reach this level.

On the other hand, in terms of content, this priest has indeed expressed the confusion and pain in the hearts of many people!

Not just believers, not just artists, not just knowledgeable people, but also millions of ordinary people.

For example, in years when certain unjust forces are rampant, or when one is suffering from extreme injustice and hardship, how should one face and relieve the problem?

And to put it bluntly, this is also a question of "confidence"!

But Master Lavoisier was able to strengthen people. His music and preaching could give everyone comfort and confidence.

"After this inspiration, the spirituality of this priest Alexis must have reached the highest level. Unfortunately, he has no talent for art and has not been able to be promoted to bishop in recent years."

"Well, but who can say what the long-term outcome of these struggles will be? Our church should at least grant them more authority and extraordinary resources to show their glory and grace!"

"Master Lavoisier is not asking Alexei to judge the right and wrong of a specific matter, but to solve the problem of his spiritual life from the root! That is, to deal with his 'self' and break his 'self-righteousness'! Desires of evil are like falling, and doing good is like climbing. Combined with the third song of 'Twenty Saint Infants Meditations' just played, 'The Conversion of God and Man', my understanding of the hidden knowledge in this scripture can be further improved!"

Not only did the questioner benefit from it, but even the bishops felt a spiritual clarity.

To be taught, and to know how to teach.

From now on, if the believers under your command hate the evil things planned by the wicked, they should be guided to stay away from evil in their behavior, keep themselves clean, and do more work for the Lord to the best of their ability!

"Well, Master Lavoisier?"

"Where is Saint-Lavoisier going?"

I thought that after Fanning walked down the steps, he would either interact with everyone a little more, or go back to the church to rest. At the very least, the clergy would gather around to greet him.

But Fanning walked alone towards the sparsely lit riverside without looking back!

Someone followed closely and found that after Fanning reached the river, he walked west along the bank.

"Master Lavoisier is going to walk to the next stop of his sermon."

Seeing the churchgoers' confusion, a clergyman in the crowd started to explain. "The priest of our Hedgewell Church does not need to host him or see him off. This is what the bishops above have told us to do."

“So that’s how it is.” Some followers suddenly realized.

"Well, His Holiness the Pope and his men will follow us all the way! But they will stay ten miles away on the way and will not go beyond that before entering the holy city!" said a priest.

"Since the Lord has this grace, and I don't work for God in Hedgewell Church, why can't I follow him as well?" After standing for a few minutes, a believer suddenly had an idea.

"Do you feel that you are living in a certain history and glory recorded in scriptures? "

"I want to personally experience it for a few days to see in what kind of environment those amazing modern techniques were created!"

"Maybe I was looking for inspiration in the wrong way before!"

Some modern artists have also made decisions.

As a result, not only did the church leaders follow ten miles away, but more and more people and artists who were seeking knowledge spontaneously followed in Lavoisier's preaching footsteps!

This is a religious spectacle.

This is unprecedented, at least since the beginning of the industrial age.

In the bitterly cold night, the lights held by everyone gathered together and formed a long strip of light, illuminating the nearby river and waves!

Father Lavoisier, who was alone in the distance, ignored the obstacles and walked along as if it were flat ground.

A solid and restrained halo of light always guides the followers in the direction ahead.

Even if the way is blocked by the water flowing into the river from a tributary, you can still walk across the water.

The pale golden ripples that had bloomed were still visible and shining when the followers arrived here from behind!

Second stop, third stop, fourth stop

Wherever they went, the priests built altars and offered burnt offerings and grain offerings.

In "The Art of Fugue", starting from the 5th counterpoint, the mystery revealed by Fanning becomes more profound.

At first, it was just the reflection of the "God Theme" that came first, and the prototype came later.

The audience was just amazed that the themes of pieces 1 and 2 and pieces 3 and 4 from the previous night could actually be put together at the same time! The new fugue formed was still harmonious in counterpoint!

However, in the sixth counterpoint, the audience discovers that the prototype of the "Divine Theme" can actually be in harmonious counterpoint with the condensed form of its own reflection - a melody with all instant values ​​​​halved and the speed twice as fast!

The following counterpoint No. 7 stunned the audience even more: the prototype, reflection, condensed prototype, condensed reflection and expanded reflection of "Divine Theme" - a melody with all instant values ​​doubled and speed slowed down by half - can still coexist at the same time!

Just the beginning of bars 1-19, those exquisite music that are as pious as hymns and contain countless passionate emotions, are all the result of the deformation and superposition of "God's Theme"!

The condensed prototype in bars 1-5, the reflection in bars 7-10, the condensed reflection and the expanded reflection in bars 7-19 are interspersed with each other in counterpoint. Before one melody stops, another melody starts. It is almost impossible to group just a few lines of the staff!

The theme is introduced 7 times in mutual iteration, and there is not a single measure that does not contain the "Theme of God". The profound polyphonic technique is breathtaking!

This endless and profound research is like a brilliant tower that rises from the ground and is infinitely high.

——People who reach each level are exhausted, thinking that they have exhausted all the spiritual knowledge or true knowledge at this stage.

But when you look up, there are always higher mysteries and brighter lights appearing before your eyes!
