Scene: A quiet, dimly lit chapel, where Joe C. Jukic and Nelly Furtado sit in the pews, the glow of candlelight flickering against the stained glass windows. Joeโs demeanor is calm but intense, as he explains his mission to a visibly shaken Nelly.
Joe C. Jukic: (leaning forward, his voice low but firm) Nelly, this isnโt just some grandiose idea or a personal crusade. Itโs a divine mandate. Iโve been entrusted with a missionโone that goes beyond anything you or I could ever imagine.
Nelly Furtado: (nervously fidgeting with her hands) Joe, youโre talking about nuclear holocausts and holy orders like itโs a movie script. How am I supposed to wrap my head around this?
Joe: (looking her in the eye) Itโs not a script, Nelly. Itโs real. Our Lady gave me revelationsโwarnings meant for the royals, the dignitaries, the people who hold the fate of this world in their hands.
Nelly: (wide-eyed) Our Lady? You meanโฆ like the Virgin Mary?
Joe: (nodding) Yes. Sheโs appeared to warn humanity beforeโat Fatima, at Medjugorjeโand now, through me. Her message is clear: weโre teetering on the edge of annihilation, and itโs up to us to pull back.
Nelly: (shaking her head) But why you, Joe? Why not someone with power, someone who can actually make decisions?
Joe: (smiling faintly) Thatโs the thing about divine missions, Nelly. They donโt always go to the powerful. They go to the willing. And Iโve been tasked to deliver these warnings, no matter how impossible it seems.
Nelly: (hesitant) So, what did you do? What are you doing?
Joe: (sighing) Iโve spoken to royals, dignitaries, world leaders. Iโve told them what Our Lady revealedโthat the path weโre on leads to destruction unless we change course. Some listen. Some laugh. But I keep going, because I have to.
Nelly: (tearing up) Joe, thatโsโฆ thatโs so much responsibility. How do you carry it?
Joe: (placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder) I donโt carry it alone. Faith helps. And so does knowing that even one small act, one person listening, could make all the difference.
Nelly: (whispering) And what happens if no one listens?
Joe: (pausing, looking toward the altar) Then we keep trying. Because as long as we have breath, thereโs hope.
Narrator: In the quiet of the chapel, Nelly sits in awe of Joeโs conviction. The weight of his mission is heavy, but his determination is unshakable. Whether his warnings will change the course of history remains to be seen, but one thing is certainโJoe C. Jukic wonโt stop until heโs fulfilled his holy orders.
