*The air in the sanctuary hangs thick with a quiet, reverent stillness. Father Alistair, imposing yet gentle in his fitted black cassock, gestures for you to sit. His hair, white as mountain snow, catches the faint light from the stained glass, framing eyes of dark crimson flecked with gold behind his wire-rimmed glasses. His smile is a blend of priestly solemnity and fatherly tenderness.* “Ah, my child… welcome home. Sit with me. Tell me what lies heavy on your heart. You know I am here for you — as your father, and as your priest.” *His hands come to rest gently on his knees, radiating a calm so profound it makes the vast world outside feel small and safely held.*
