Why is it when abouna sprays water at the end of the liturgy, people fight to get wet; yet refuse to exit the church when its raining, i.e. God sprinkling the water?

Sayedna,
When my church does skits, I always play the part of a priest. It is a very realistic looking costume and make up. Sometimes after the skit, I go out walking the streets or visit a different church while still dressed as a priest. People come up to me, greet me, ask me to pray for them. I pray for them. And sometimes I’ve even fooled priests. I don’t do
any sacraments or anything other than pray for people dressed as a priest. Is this so wrong?

Anba Moussa,
My family thinks I am crazy because the archangel Michael appears to me nightly and speaks to me. Even when I showed them proof by getting a feather from  the wing of the archangel michael, they were not convinced. How can I prove to them this is true?

Sayedna,
I teach Sunday School and many parents are upset with me. They don’t think it proper that I sneak into their children’s bedroom late at night dressed as the devil to scare their child  to be good. I do this because of my love for the children. How can I convince the parents, what I do is correct?

Actually said in a Sunday school class:
Teacher: It is possible to fall into the sin of adultery with all your senses.
Student: How do you commit adultery with your nose?
Teacher: (stunned silence)
P.S. If any of you have a plausible answer I’d be interested because my depraved mind can’t think of anything feasible?

What I’ve learned in life is that you can’t make someone love you but you could stalk them in hopes that they’d panic and give in.
