A universities graduate with a degree in electrical engineering. He's a sprightly man, who's a faithful believer, worshiper and practitioners on Roman Catholic Christianity. He made a vow of abstinence to the Lord Jesus Christ and to do all his teaching wholeheartedly. It backed up with his good-natured heart; he was likened by everybody, especially all the youth he had worked with. Recently, he was ordained in a sacramental ceremony in which he became to be a priest in a honourable church, the Saint Peter's Roman Catholic Church in New York. He had entered the Clergy at a young age and after meeting its requirements, he finally had the ratification to be ordinance. It was his parent's proudest moment to see their only child pursuing the work of The Lord. In his pursuance to be a man of the cloth in a Roman Catholic Church, he's subsisted in specific benchmarks that needed accomplishment and to be followed religiously. It was a definite that sacrifices had to be administered. His normal lifestyle needed to change. Throughout his priesthood journey, he was discouraged to be involving in romancing. He, furthermore, needed to attend a seminary, an exceptional school that provided education in theology, religious history, and other things affiliated to Christianity, fundamentally to prepare him and other students for the priesthood, ministry, or the rabbinate. No doubt he had to predominate in the seminary school. He then became ordained a deacon before he got to enter the priesthood. It was a tough life that he had gone through and yet; he conclusively made it in being a priest after all the sacrifices, he had inflicted himself into. Ever since he was a young boy, he was fascinated by the work of a priest. The clothes they wore during congregation in the Roman Catholic Church. He was intriguingly enchanted with the clerical collar that was worn by all ranks of the clergy, bishops, priests, and deacons. It was also seen often worn by seminarians who have been admitted to candidacy for the priesthood as well as with their cassock during liturgical celebrations. His adoration was sky high on the way of a priest looked, and beguiled with the smiles that of every priest had on their faces, every time he engaged with them. Every single thing that a priest had done, gave a sense of gratefulness to the man of clothed in the eyes of a young boy. When he had come of age, his father had volunteered him to be an altar boy at the church that his family had been going to every weekend. As an altar server, he was a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a Christian divine liturgy. His attendance as an altar boy was to support with tasks such as, fetching and carrying, the altar bell ringing, among other things. He loved at the opportunities; he was given to task for the church. He especially loves the singing of psalms with the whole congregation. Going to church with his families on every Sunday, were one of his favourite activities. On that day, his mother would have suited him in his finest Sunday clothes, and prepared him handsomely with his hair well combed and gelled to perfection. On that day, he would be wearing his shiny black leather shoes, which his father bought for him to wear for special occasions. His father would glossily shine it every morning before going to church. Once all was done, with a last looked at the long mirror hangs by the side door, he walked in between his parents while holding their hands. It was only about a couple of blocks away from his house, but it was pleasantly soulful. Throughout his time in church, he listened to lots of sermons; he adored every single word spoken and especially when the priest talked about GOD himself and the Lord Jesus Christ. It intrigued him to further study about life as a priest, and the religion that he had his hearts for ever since childhood. It was a revelation as though, God's disclosure of his owns nature and his purpose for mankind. Especially, through the words of human intermediaries, something in which such a divine disclosure is contained, such as the Bible. It was kind of nirvana that stretches his believed that science and logic give people more knowledge and understanding than tradition and religion. It's like a final spiritual state marked by the absence of desire or suffering. He felt like he was reborn into this world for a purpose. After he was ordinance as a priest, he was apportioned to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in New York City. He was to amalgamate with in helping an Elder and his mentor, Father Michael Samson, in managing the church activities. Nevertheless, recently, he was transferred to his new parish, St. John Baptist Catholic Church, in a small town of Kansas City. At the new church, he was going to work with a soon to retire minister, Father Aiden Morales, who's suffering health issues due to his old age of 85 years-old. The sickness was preventing him from doing his jobs diligently, as a priest. Even though, Father Greyson was delighted to be given the trust, at the same time, he was saddened with the imminent news in regard to Father Morales. He could not wait to lead his own congregations in the church as he was looking forward to all the challenges thrown at him. The church had provided him with everything that he needed. He got food for meals, three times a day, living quarters and a good salary package. However, he was not into living on a church ground or with the rest of the ordinance. He felt isolated and alone and deprived his youthful energy. He wanted to be closer with the people out there. He loved to be able to directly and constantly interacting and mingling with them. He finally got the green light to source out his own accommodation. That was after a long consideration, consultation and discussion with the church administrator. It took him weeks, going through the newspaper advertisements and housing agencies to scout for a small residence or rooms to rent, but all without any much success. It was devastating as it's all none to his liking. It would be either be expensive or far from the church. It was during one of an early-morning Eucharist. He got befriended with a parishioner, whose name was Hayden O'Brien. Hayden overheard of him was looking for a room or house to rent. Hayden wholeheartedly welcomed him to stay at his house instead. Hayden was being a modest follower of The Roman Catholic Church and intrinsically a notably person, Hayden O'Brien's introspection it as his minuscule way to a kind gesture by giving back to the church that did so much for him and his son. The church had been there in helping him to grief and to take comfort or consolation at a time of great distress or sadness after the death over his wife a few years ago. Father Greyson was overly joyful and ecstatic with the generous offer made by Hayden. He immediately agreed and shook Hayden's hands in a gesture of acceptance. Without delaying any further and hesitation, he went to pack his things from his church dorm and within a week, he had everything moved into Mr. Hayden household. The accommodation was perfect as it was roomy, and it's near to the church. As he adjusted himself in the capacious guest room, that Hayden's had prepared for him, he felt very much at home. There was a queen-size bed in the middle of the room, with two tall wardrobes for his clothing. A dresser was placed in between the two wardrobes, and a study desk was set into one corner into the room. For all the ultimate in comfort, it was fully Air-conditioning. On the bed-side table, he placed the figured of the Virgin Mary, where The Lady of Grace folds her hands in reverential exaltation in this classic acclaimed opus in search of excellence' of great skill and beauty. It was lighted with a single afterglow of the night lamp. It created a sense of peace and serenity to the surrounding. It was in the Hayden's household, was where for the very first-time, Father Greyson McQueen met Harry O'Brien. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have created a mailing list.
