The Power and the glory:

After crossing the border of a different state, the priest seems to be so relieved and honestly he should be. He has dealed with to much pressure and adrenaline and now he can be secure and without risking his life at every moment. As he arrives he meets two German-Americans protestants that live there; Mr. Lehr and his sister Ms. Lehr. They don´t like to much the catholic faith, but in that town, everybody is happy to have a priest because they didn´t have one for three years and they were eager to have their babies baptized and someone to hear their confessions. ""A church?" The priest ran his hands incredulously over the wall like a blind man trying to recognize a particular house, but he was too tired to feel anything at all. He heard the man with the gun babbling out of sight, "Such an honour father. The bell must be rung..."" (pg. 158-159). As we see the town is completely happy with the arrival of a priest because now they can celebrate their religous traditions.

But these series of fortunate events end when he is leaving to Las Casas. He is getting ready to go when he sees mestizo and he tells him the gringo is dying and his last dying wish is for the priest to hear his confessions. The father knows it´s a very risky act to do but he feels so much pressure of his title as priest that decides to go. This is a new adventure for the Whiskey priest.
