His earliest memories were of tilling the fields on an empty stomach.

Barren earth surrounded him. Chill air. Uncultured people.

Like most remote areas, his hometown was a poor village far from civilization. He had no fond memories of his parents. Each day he was hit, insulted, and put to work.

It was painful. However, what hurt most of all was the inability to comprehend what was painful, why, and how to escape it.

No one ever read to him. The rare life lesson came from watching his uneducated parents, but these were learned habits, not skills. How could any light reach his dark abyss of sorrow when his dirt-covered hands were perpetually empty?

Then one day, the Church and its priests came to the village.

He didn’t understand at first. These newcomers seemed like government officials yet didn’t put on airs. And unlike his parents, they didn’t beat or criticize him. They didn’t look down on him indifferently like the rest of the village. They were a new kind of human.

The boy’s wariness quickly vanished.

This was thanks to their elegance, charity, and most of all, their scriptures.

“The scriptures are a gift from God. The text teaches us how to live in righteousness.”

The boy didn’t understand the priest’s words at first, but emotions filled the cracks in his young heart at last.

It was mind-blowing. The world turned on its head, or perhaps it finally came into view. All his life, the child was no different than a clump of earth. He woke up, worked the fields, and went to bed. The scriptures finally made him feel like his own person.

These feelings persisted no matter how much time passed. By the time he knew the scriptures by heart, he was overcome with duty.

I will spread this message.

There were undoubtedly many others in this country. Children who—like his younger self—didn’t know God’s Word and were ignorant of the concept of a nation. Children like cracked, arid earth.

He wanted to give them rain—a blessed shower of enlightenment from the scriptures.

Priesthood won’t be enough. I can’t serve only a single village.

His heart made a decision.

I’ll go to the capital and make a name for myself. I’ll become great, greater than anyone else, and plant churches everywhere.

He left the village soon after. The future promised countless changes, and the fire in his heart burned with the resolve to overcome anything…
