"Brother Rafael heard a voice speak to his heart. It was not like the cackling of the red devils--causing confusion, sadness, and regret. This voice was gentle, curious, eager for a conversation.

The two devils gave a muffled cry... It's cold and rainy outside, and inside the monastery kitchen Brother Rafael is having a bad day. Pestered by gloomy thoughts, he is becoming discouraged. How does he chase away the rainy-day devils?
