Marcus was
disincarnated spirit.
But what
does that mean? It means Marcus does not have a physical body anymore. He does
not need the body, just as a piece of cloth that is not needed anymore. He then
went to the spiritual world.
Marcus,
therefore, continued the same way as before: he felt alive, loved the family he
left in Earth, his
friends, his school and children’s plays.
He was
doing really well in the spiritual world. He would accomplish the tasks which
he was asked to do. He was doing so well he got a very important mission from
his mentor, a very nice and beautiful auntie.
– Marcus,
you will now become a guardian angel.
He got so euphoric and said:
– Oh,
really? That is so good!...
– You got
this role with your dedication and good will, Marcus. You will now protect
another boy and incentive him to do good things. You will also orientate him to
avoid evil.
Marcus felt
really happy. He loved the fact he was a protecting angel, with no wings or
night-dress.
He then
went together with his mentor to the boy’s house. They soon arrived at a small
village. They got inside a small and peaceful house. They then saw an
eight-year old boy at the kitchen sat at the table next to his parents and two
younger brothers.
His mentor
pointed out to the boy and said:
– This is
the boy, Marcus. His name is Marcelo.
She then
said good-bye to Marcus:
– Good
luck, Marcus. Let God protect you! I will be back in a week’s time to know how
you are getting on with your new task. If you need anything, please call me
through your thoughts. I will be here immediately.
He was
really excited with his new task. Marcus went to school together with Marcelo
and thought:
– This is
easy! Why would this be difficult?!...
On
the way to school, Marcelo decides to climb a wall to steel an orange. If it
wasn’t for Marcus, he would have broken his leg.
They soon
met a group of boys on the way to school. Marcelo decided to put up a fight
with them. If it wasn’t for the angel’s help, he would have been bitten by the
other boy, who was much bigger than him. Marcus managed to suggest to their
ears:
– Do not do
this! Jesus does not like boys who fight. You could get hurt. Calm down!...
Marcus was
able to get them apart from each other then.
At school,
Marcelo was ready to play with the teacher by frightening her. He would be
punished for sure, and if it wasn’t for the angel who suggested to him not to
do that.
Marcelo
then got back home and put up a fight with his little brother. If it wasn’t for
Marcus, he would be ‘beaten’ by his father. Later on that day, Marcelo decided
to play football. Marcus went there with him, trying to protect the boy from
any danger.
By
the end of the day, Marcus managed to save frog from death, avoided Marcelo to
cut himself with a knife
from the kitchen and to get electrocuted.
Marcus then
sat down and said, relieved:
– Thank
God! Fortunately, we managed to finish the day without any serious damage, but
I don’t know if I can handle another day like this!...
He then saw his mentor approaching him. She
was smiling and asked a question she seemed to know the answer already:
– How was
your day, Marcus?
– Oh!
Auntie... I can not handle this. I am exhausted. This boy is terrible!
She then
said calmly:
– Can you
see how hard it is to be someone’s guardian angel? You have been misbehaved as
well, remember? You have now learned you should not hurt people, animals, etc.
But only time and learning made you change.
– Yes, it
is true! – Marcus agreed. He remembers he was a misbehaved child.
– A lot of
Patience, good will and determination is needed. People need to learn, but they
will only change really with time. That is why the task of helping someone is
so hard. We need to suggest them healthy ideas, incentive them to do good things,
to piece, to work and to forgive. Nevertheless, they will only change their
behaviour according to their own will, since we can not interfere on their
lives. Got it?
– Yes, I
got it.
– Do you
want to give up on the task?
Marcus then
thought and said, convicted:
– No. I
will continue. Let God help me!...
