Secret Sacrament (ePub)

In a time when parishioners bowed down at the feet of priests in front of pulpits, an innocent boy is placed in the front of an altar that hides a deep dark secret. Under a cloak of darkness, and within the reach of the devil's grasp, young Peter Malone is brought up by a religious mother with a priestly plan. Blinded by the light of her spiritual salvation, Mother Mary Malone pushes the parameters of obedience at all costs, to achieve her spiritual reward. In this distorted world of fanatical worship, her seventh son of a seventh son is precariously placed in front of the fallen clergy, who are cloaked in deception. On his preordained spiritual journey of life, young Peter Malone is pushed and pulled from the good and evil forces that surrounds his every step. Covered by the protection of three good priests, Peter is lifted with faith and filled with inspiration while growing into an adult. Watched closely by the peering eyes of three evil priests, Peter is confused by their disturbing deeds and conflicted by the holy leadership's reluctance to respond. As he stumbles towards his celibate life, Father Peter Malone finally searches for answers from his holy brothers, but only receives an empty chalice of silence. With the absence of answers and in a void of protection for the most vulnerable, the demented priests' prey on the weakest lambs. The wake of destruction perpetrated upon the fragile flock is too much for one broken boy to handle. That innocent soul is finally released from his pain by the ultimate sacrifice and becomes a catalyst for change within the church, and in the life of Father Peter Malone.
