Weekly style: Quotation
Andrew Vernet fails to get the Keystone. Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu go to a Grail historian, Leigh Teabing, a British knight who lives in France. He saves them from Silas and DCPJ, and take them to London where the next clue of the grail lied. Leigh's servant Remy with the help of Silas kidnapped Leigh and took away the keystone. Langdon and Neveu wandered for the clue and finally reached Newton's grave. They found a note there which asked them to come to a hall to find Leigh. What they discovered was mind blowing and upsetting, Leigh was the one behind all the murders and asaults. Langdon cracked the code, but escaped Leigh also. Silas mistook Bishop Aringarosa as a Police Officer and shot him. He prayed and Bishop was saved, but he himself died. Remy was already killed by Leigh. Leigh was arrested. Bishop urged the twenty million euro in Vatican bonds to be given to family of those murdered in Paris. Sophie met her brother and grandmother who had not died. Sophie was a member of bloodline of Jesus. Her grandmother said that the Priory had no intention to reveal the grail sinve its beauty lies in its secret. She did not know the exact location of the grail. Sophie and Langdon fell in love and set up a 'date.' Langdon discovered the grail to be at the Louvre, in Paris.
"A little faith can do wonders, Captain." (Page 431)
This quote was spoken by Bishop Agnimarosa to Captain Bezu Fache, when the latter met the former in St. Mary's Hospital after the Bishop had recovered from the bulllet injury. Bishop Agnimarosa here is referring to Silas, who had prayed in falling rain for the safety of Bishop's life. Silas did not worry about his own injuries, and died instead.
I agree with the quote, since I have a very strong belief in God and His powers. I have faith in God and wonders, if not miracles, have happened to me also. I have inherited these strong beliefs from my parents. My mother is a very religious lady. Here is an interesting fact about my birth. In the early and middle stages of my mother's pregnancy, when I was in her womb, the doctors discovered that the (my) developments are not those which lead towards a normal delivery. My parents were concerned when they came to know that a surgery may be required, and asked the doctor for any other option. The doctor, who is the nicest doctor I have ever met and a firm believer in God, advised them to pray to God. My parents prayed extensively, and the results was indeed a miracle, my normal delivery. My mom did not take any medications that could have changes the course. A lot of other incidents have strengthened my belief also. My left eye had a miraculous escape when my opponenent's field hockey stick hit me on my left eyebrow couple years ago. Earlier, I had four tests on Friday. Later, two of them were cancelled, allowing me more time for my SAT. A lot of times when I could not study for a test due to genuine reasons, I still scored highly.
There are more incidents I could talk about, but I do not want to make this post my personal journal. However, I do believe that these examples are enough tp strengthen my case.
