  NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

  Jack Batson and the Holy Grail is not just a story that came out of my imagination. The quest for Holy Grail started since the very beginning of Christianity. Many people believe that the Holy Grail has magical power to change the life of people. Some secret societies and cults believe that it has a supernatural power to give eternal life to humans. Many people still believe that the real Holy Grail which was used by our Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Supper to consecrate wine to convert into His Holy Blood is located in ‘the Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia’ in Spain. It might be true. In this regard I assert that what the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church and Holy Father teach us is right. I have no comments in this matter.

  You might have read many stories, but this story is entirely different to other stories. I promise you, after reading this story; your life will not be the same. This book will create a tremendous change in your life. If you wish to be successful in life, this story will help you. It doesn’t matter how hard your problems are or how difficult are your situations. You may think you are helpless, hopeless or abandoned. If you feel so, I have an answer for your problem. You may ask why this disaster happened in my life. Some may say “I earned everything in my life; I am rich enough and I can afford to have everything that I desire; still, I feel emptiness in my heart”. You may be alone and sad, your problem might be big or small, but I can assure you that after finishing this story, you will find the Holy Grail will help sort your issues in your life. I promise this book can change your life upside down. Once I was in the same situation where you are now; so I know the pain that you are going through in your heart. I was very sad and upset and asked myself many a times how I can tackle these problems. I searched for my Holy Grail and finally found it. I found the happiness that I lost. All these years you might have searched for your Holy Grail to make you happy …. This book will help you to find out your Holy Grail.

  The first horrifying, Mysterious, Romantic, Motivational novel ever.

  PROLOGUE

  The Pacific Ocean flows very calm like a pigeon that nestles in its nest at night. In that peaceful Pacific Ocean, an invisible island is located far away from other islands and continents. No human beings from other countries intrude into it and its citizens are never interested to build a solid relationship with outsiders. The ships that pass through this way would drown into the depth of the ocean or the flights that enter into its territory crash into the sea. The name of this country is Billston.

  In Billston, apart from human beings dwell many goblins, super natural creatures, wizards, witches and a variety of fairy tale creatures.

  It is believed that, St. Thomas, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ landed here during his first voyages to preach the gospel and converted and baptised many people into Christianity. Before his arrival all the people in this island were barbarians and pagans who believed in worldly creatures and powers. The Apostle preached the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and performed many miracles that popularised Christianity in that island. During that period the people in that country who believed in barbaric religion realised that their Gods had no such powers like the Apostles of God Jesus Christ. They understood that only Jesus can cure severe diseases and raise people from death. The Apostle also commanded the worldly powers such as rains, storms and oceans, and they obeyed in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. As the result of these miracles and through the propagation of the Gospel of Love, the forefathers in that country received baptism and accepted Jesus Christ as their God, Saviour and Lord.

  After their conversion to Christianity, they continued to live peacefully for nearly one thousand and eight hundred years. All these period Satan and his devils were prowling about the world doing their job making the people fight each other, making ignorant of their right to be the children of God. Thus, Satan and his fallen angels could win sowing the seeds of enmity and hatred among the people of different continents. Still the people in Billston island were living peacefully without taking heed of such demonic activities happening outside their world.

  Somehow over a period of time and after a lot of struggle, the messengers of Death could enter into Billston Island too. They did the same hideous things against the people of Billston…….

  When problem and confusion started among the content people of Billston, some of them approached the then Pope of the Holy Catholic Church and requested His Holiness to send somebody to help them. His Holiness sent some exorcists, demonologists and some devotees and their families to Billston Island to fight against the enemies of darkness.

  Among those people were the ancestors of Jack Batson, the hero in our story. They started their adventurous journey from Kerala, one of the southern states of India.

  **************************************************************************

  Before narrating this story, I have to tell you more about Jack Batson. Jack Batson was born as the eldest child of a happy beautiful couple Ben and Jenna Batson. Ben Batson was a corporate businessman and in-born scientist. Ben Batson was the son of a famous physician and theologian Gringer Batson and his wife Anna Batson who was a famous novelist and poet. After the birth of Jack Batson, the happy couple were blessed with two more children. Their second child was a boy whom they called Matt, a lovely baby with round face and shining eyes, and the third one was a beautiful girl whom they called Ann. She had pretty gleaming blue eyes, lovely red cheeks and long nose.

  When Jack Batson was born, he looked into the world wondrously like an alien that just came into the earth. He was not just an ordinary child; everyone considered him as useless, not a smart one like another child of his age. Some of the neighbours considered him as an inactive, lazy creature who doesn’t know how to live in this temporal world. He grew up as a dreamy boy who always dreamt about his visit to fairy lands, the stories he heard from his grandma A
nna.

  Jack’s foundation in faith and devotion to Jesus Christ was very solid. His devoted mother and grandfather taught him how to pray. He was very regular in attending the Holy Mass with his family, and recited Rosary many times a day. Every evening at 7 O’ clock all the family members gathered together in the praying room for Angelus and Rosary.

  Jack was passionate about reading books. They had a family library in their home completely stacked with books on many subjects including Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, History, Geography, Art, and Literature. He also had a collection of antique books dated back from B.C and the very beginning of A.D. Thus, Jack grew up in the midst of books which were his soul mates and he spent endless time in reading. Neighbours looked upon him as a moron and introvert. Nobody knew that Jack had a strong will and determination…

  Even though, some people hated and ridiculed him, he never felt irritated or annoyed and never hated them back. His family always protected him and encouraged his reading habits. His parents and grandparents always cheered him by saying:

  “Dear child, don’t heed attention to others. Whatever they say about you is totally wrong. We believe you and have trust in you. You are a better person than any other child in the world. A day will come when all those who insulted you would come forward to praise you.”

  Jack always carried a beautiful Rosary with him that had red and green crystal beads which he has inherited from his grandfather who received it as a gift from the Holy Father Pope John Paul 2nd. Whenever Jack Batson was down in spirit he always prayed the Rosary, which made him strong. Altogether his best friends in childhood were his Rosary and the books.

  Years passed by and Jack Batson grew up to a young man of twenty-eight. One day, Jack Batson was reading a book about the miracles of the Holy Eucharist that happened in different countries. The book’s name was “Jesus Christ’s Presence in Holy Mass: True Miracles Throughout Centuries”. He was reading the first chapter about the first Holy Eucharist miracle that happened in Lanciano, Italy. When the priest doubted about the presence of Jesus Christ in the consecrated bread and wine in front of Him, the wine became blood, and the bread became flesh of Jesus Christ. When Jack Batson read this incident, he felt as though someone insisted him to pray right then, as if there was an urgency of prayer for somebody else.

  He took out his dearest companion- the Rosary- from his pocket, knelt down as he usually did in the family prayer and started to pray by looking into the photo of the miraculous Holy Eucharist in Lanciano. He didn’t know how much time he melted in prayer. Tears started to roll down from his eyes and he tried to control his emotions, but he couldn’t. He noticed the change that happened to the image on the cover of the book that lay in front of him….It slowly came out from the page and took life. The moving Eucharistic image started to shake and suddenly a light in the form of a circle came out from it and fell upon him. Suddenly the library filled with a supernatural magnificent light as if it caught fire.

  Jack Batson lost his consciousness and fell down onto the floor as though somebody knocked him down. When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the library floor with the book he read clutched in his left hand and his dearest Rosary in the right hand. He stood up and felt a complete emptiness and peacefulness in his heart. He could forgive all the people who criticised him and he felt as though his heart’s pains had been wiped out by someone. At the same moment, he heard a prayer in Latin from somewhere else:

  “Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortális, miserére nobis.”

  Which means:

  “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.”

  CHAPTER-1

  NOVA FLOWER

  After this incident, Jack Batson got up from the floor and rushed to outside. He couldn’t see anyone on his way to outside. All of his family members were in another area of his gigantic house. He felt like something was happening to him. He wanted to cry. He felt sorry for his mistakes that he had done against Jesus, his family members and others. When the people ridiculed him, he got upset and grumbled in his mind like the apostles said to Jesus, Lord send your fire from Heaven and burn them into ashes. He couldn’t understand what was his mistake. So, he hated them and cursed them as they cursed and hated him. Now, something happened to him. He felt complete coldness from head to toe, especially inside his heart. He understood, something had happened to him. A feeling of joy, repentance and love filled his whole heart. He felt like someone was talking to him from inside.

  “Dear child, why are you crying?” A voice asked him from inside.

  “Is it real or I got some hallucinations after that incident happened to me in the library?” He thought himself in his mind.

  “Why do you think, it is hallucination, my dear child?” He heard the inner voice more clearly.

  “I think, I am going mad!” He thought again and spoke to himself.

  “Are you going to meet Nova Flower?” The voice asked him.

  “Yes!” Jack Batson answered as he got into the car. This time it was not an inner voice, it was clearly heard with his own ears.

  “But, who are you?” He asked.

  “I am Jesus Christ, who loves you more than everyone, even when you torture me with your sins. Do you know that?” The voice replied.

  “So, if you are really Jesus Christ, why don’t you give me an apparition?” He asked the voice as he started the car and moved his car to the main road.

  “Because, you don’t wish to see me as much as you wish to see your parents and Nova the girl you love.”

  “I love my parents, but, I don’t love any girl!” He said.

  “Don’t tell lies to me, my child, I know you very well than anyone and I care for you and love you more than anyone else. So, speak the truth. If you don’t love her, why do you go and meet her whenever you are free and why do you follow her and dream of her all the time?”

  “Because, she is my best friend, that’s all. I am not in a mood to love a girl, because girls are the most difficult things whom nobody can understand. They will smile in front of us when they hate us inside, they will show love and compassion towards us and stab us from behind. That’s their nature, then how can you tell me, I love her?” Jack Batson asked hiding his anger.

  “Now, you may be angry, because you couldn’t express your love towards her. Still, you hide your love towards her, you love her inside your heart. That’s why you go now to meet her. And don’t judge anyone by comparing them to others. Each person is unique and most of them are good. Do you think all boys are good enough? So, don’t judge others. But, even in the people you consider as bad, if you check inside their heart, there will be something good, except the people enslaved by the devils. I know how much you do love her. I tell you the truth that, she will become your wife one day. You will think, it is not going to happen and it is impossible. But I assure you, she will become your wife one day. I am not your master and you are not my slave. I am your father who does love my children more than me. I told you this only because you asked me many times, who will become your wife. I didn’t answer you that time, because that was not the time, but, this is the right time.”

  “Are you joking my Lord, you know she can’t love me as her husband. Sometimes, she talks to me rudely as I have done some severe mistakes, then I felt like she hates me. Then how is it possible?”

  “IF YOU HAVE A GREAT DREAM AND STRONG DETERMINATION TO ACHIEVE IT, EVEN IF THE WHOLE WORLD PREVENTS YOU AND ALWAYS MAKES OBSTACLES AGAINST YOU, ME, YOUR LORD AND GOD WILL STAND IN FRONT OF YOU AS A WARRIOR TO DEFEND YOU, PROTECT YOU AND FIGHT FOR YOU TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAM.”

  “But, how do I know, you are Jesus and your promise is going happen? Can you give me a sign?”

  “You don’t believe my words, but, when that miracle happens, you would believe. So, as a sign to reveal that I am Jesus Christ and what I said was true, I am going to give you a sign. When you re
ach by the river side where you told her to wait, she will be in a white wedding gown, and she would hold a rose flower to give you. When you ask her why she hold that flower, and is she crazy to wear the wedding dress she would answer you by saying, dear Jack, you are the best friend, I ever had in my life. When you are with me, I am always happy. To be frank with you, dear Jack, I think it is the best day ever in my life. That’s why I wore this wedding dress and held this rose flower. The rest of what is going to happen, you will see for yourself.”

  “But, how it is possible?” He asked doubtfully, while pulling over the car and stopping by the road side to get an explanation from that mysterious voice who claims himself as Jesus Christ.

  “YOU SEE A MOUNTAIN IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU WANT TO COMMAND IT TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOUR PATH. IF YOU WOULDN’T COMMAND, IT WILL STAND THERE FOREVER, BUT, IF YOU SAY TO MOVE, IT WILL OBEY YOU. NOBODY CAN’T BUT OBEY A PERSON WITH STRONG FAITH, GREAT DETERMINATION AND FERVENT PRAYER.”
