The Power and the glory

Righ now, I am a little more into the novel and Im more aware about what is happening duirng this time period. Even though this is a revolutionary period that despites religion, we can get to see the role the priest is playing in the novel and how it is a fundamental part of the novel. You can see this because the priest is certain on what is hsi future and what is his role on earth and how he is going to acomplish it by completing his deuty, expanding and preaching about christianity even if his life is in danger.“One of the Fathers has told us that joy always depends on pain. Pains is part of joy. We are hungry and then think how we enjoy our food at last. We are thirsty…” This is an evident quote that shows that the priest likes his job and even if the vconsequences are bad, he es going to accomplish it. He does not fear hsi destiny based on his actual situation, he doesnt gives up and we can see that he is very concius about his situation and how his life will be in danger if he continous preaching and exapanding catholicism. "The police watching you, the soldier gathering taxes, the beating you always get from the jefe because you are too poor to pay, smallpox and fever, hunger… that is all part of heaven – the preparation." This shows how he feels and thinks of what he has to do.

In what I have read righ now, I could compare the priest to many people thought history, many people that have always fought for their own righ or for their belief and would always continue talking about them and even if they are in danger, they will continue expressing themselves following their heart. We can compare the priest to ghandi, both live in some enviroment that doesnt let them express themselves without getting any consequences but they both continue doing it.

What might happen to the priest?
What impulses the priest to continue preaching?
