I think one of the greatest stories is that of the appearance of the Mother of Jesus to three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. It has rising suspense, tension, a climax, and a denouement.
Those innocent children knew nothing of these parts of a story, and neither did their parents, mayor (the villain) and their priest (who was dumbfounded). The climax had 70,000 witnesses.
You have to admit, the Holy Spirit, who originated and staged this play, had things well in hand, with the exception of the children’s free will. Blessed be God.
