Having finished the sermon, the priest noticed a boy who had stayed in the church longer than all the parishioners. It was clear that something was bothering him. Approaching the boy, he asked if he could help him with anything.
- Tell me, does hell really exist? - The boy raised his eyes full of fear.
- Did something happen to you? Repent, tell me,” the priest suggested.
— A few days ago a dog bit my younger brother. And out of anger, I beat this dog to death with a stick.
“Don’t be so sad,” the priest tried to calm him down. “You have already repented, and God will forgive you.”
- Yes, I don’t need God’s forgiveness at all! I'm afraid that when I die and go to hell, I'll meet this dog there.
