The sin is mine.

The fault is mine.

Have mercy, holy God.

Pull, pull.

More. More.

Slowly, slowly.

More, more, more.

More, a bit more.

Stop! Stop, stop!

Don't be mad at Genaro.

It's true,

I asked him to do it.

I'm not mad.

But you can't go out.

You get sick if you do.

I brought you a big glass

for the window.

Get some rest.

Dad!

Dad! Dad!

The bell for God.

So he'd hear.

We wanted to call God.

You cheat.

You forgive one

but you take the other.

Are you sure?

It's all right.

You got scared.

That's normal.

If you don't want

to see him anymore...

...paint him by memory.

I do.

The drawing you make...

...will be the memory

we'll keep.

I'll be here with you.

Were you scared?

Me, too.

The angel has died,

oh God, what joy.

The angels received him,

sing for Mary.

Angel, you're going

to heaven...

...with a lily at hand.

Ask holy Mary forgiveness...

...for your brothers.

All the eternal riches...

...will be at your disposal.

And from the Virgin...

It was an accident.

What don't you understand?

You're all damned

because of me.

You and your brothers.

You'll all die before I do.

If you prove your faith,

God will forgive you.

You slept in there?

I just washed them.

What's wrong?

Worthless.

Worthless.

Worthless.

You'll break them.

You lied to me.

Outside or inside the room,

it doesn't matter.

I'm going to die

because of you.

On February 2nd, 1934...

...I decided to leave

my room.

Give me strength, Lord,

to help finish the church...

...until your kindness

pardons all our lives.

In 1939, the plague arrived.

Bartolome and Saul died

in that order.

They were only 20

and 19 years old.

Dear God, have mercy.

Listen to our prayers.

Commending ourselves

to God...

...we finally finished

the church for his glory.

For such a great miracle,

we thank you, God.

We hope to receive a sign

of your forgiveness.

March, 1942.

THE SIG N:

Where were you?

Here, tie this.

You stink, Micaela.

Go wash.

And get dressed.

It's late.

When I'm inside,

ring the bell.

Let God know

that I'm waiting.

Nothing happened.

- There was no sign.

- Shut up. It'll come.

Dad knows what he's doing.

Dad said many things

that aren't true.

You look like a pig.

Didn't he say Aureliano

would die first...

...because he was

the weakest?

Eat something, Father.

I did all this

to prove my faith.

He has to forgive us.

That sign was for us,

Father.

It was for us.

What? What did you see?

The lights. In the water.

I didn't see anything.

Father.

They were lights

like God said.

What else could they be?

- I swear I saw them.

- I didn't.

I saw them.

I'm not making it up.

If there had been a sign,
