Angela Receives The Blessing

She continued rubbing the strange rod, which became even harder and hotter. Soon it began to twitch uncontrollably.

“Oh my God, it's about to happen. Quick, my child, take it in your mouth.”

Angela hesitated for a moment. But the voice sounded so urgent that she obeyed.

No sooner had she placed her wide-open mouth over the thick cap than a warm, salty liquid shot out of it, in such quantity that she couldn't swallow it all and the excess ran down her lips and chin.

Ah, she thought, what a miracle. A rod of flesh and blood that exudes such a potion. I am truly blessed.
