To aid you in this quest we at the abbey have prepared this gift for you. We prepared a book of God s word starting with the writings of Moses about the beginning of the world, to the writings of John about the end of the world. It is a gift of many years of work expressing our love for you and God. He then reached under his robe, produced a beautiful Bible, and gave it to me. I took the priceless gift.
Bibles are so valuable they are usually only given to new churches.
Many monks worked years at copy desks to produce this beautiful work. It contained not only the words of God, but also beautiful illustrations. I shuttered at the responsibility that the gift implied and said, I can only say, I pray to God I would be worthy of such a gift. I then hugged him. Even though my humility was false, the tears in my eyes were a genuine expression of my love.
