Then I heard a terrible voice

speaking to me like a ghost

"Behold who I am!"

And I saw him whom I sought.

His Countenance revealed itself

with such clarity

that I recognized in it all the countenances

and all the forms that ever existed

wherefrom he received honor and service in all right

I saw why each one must receive his part

in damnation and in blessing

I saw how each one must

be set in his place

why some wander away from him

and return to him again

and why others wander and never return

and how some remained standing entirely still

and almost devoid of consolation at all times.

And others have remained in their

place since childhood

have known themselves at their worth,

and have held out to the end.

I recognized all these beings

there in that Countenance.

In his right hand I saw

the gifts of his blessing

and I saw in this hand Heaven opened,

and all those who will be with him eternally.

In his left hand I saw the sword of the fearful stroke

with which he strikes all down to death.

In this hand I saw Hell

and all its eternal company.

I have to speak to you for a moment

Come.

You no longer eat?

I am abstaining, Mother.

Abstinence, but not martyrdom.

Here, eat this. Go on.

I noticed a few weeks ago and I tried to

moderate her excessive behavior, but

you've seen, she deprives herself of food

and protection from the cold

is she keeps this up she is going to die.

She is strongly bound to

this behavior

and I think it is a certain,

manifestation of His love

It is necessary, for her sake

to rediscover the outside world

the world will give her more opportunities

than the monastery, to prove her love to God.

Opportunities not of her choosing.

Events

It isn't necessary

to be detached from the world.

in order to be with God.

Go get her.

- Hello.

- Hi.

You don't obey.

you reject the rules,

but the rules protect us

and guide us.

You have no humility.

For the moment, for me,

you are a caricature of religion.

God is not there.

It is out of the question right now

for you to speak your vows,

and for you to stay here.

Return to the world.

Who knows?

in the practice of everyday life

your real life

your true desires, your true self

could perhaps be revealed.

Go on, the convent doors will

never be closed to you.

Winter has come

the unknown mother

pushes me even more the sadness of her face

that you are well loved, and close to us

there is no reason for your sadness.

Doing well, I told you it is complete

We are always here

also the richness of your word.

it is perfect, and perhaps

you have it yourself.

Ah you're back?

How's it going?

What's up?

- How much?

- Three months at least, I don't know...

what about probation?

- Papa has signed...

- B*tch!

Yeah

Not there

listen, have a great day

Thanks, Dad.

Doggie

That's Religion right?

- Yes

- Oh, okay.

- So you're a believer then?

- Yes.

But no cross?

- Pardon.

- But no cross?

No.

What the heck are you talking about.

Ah, I don't know.

It's all good.

She has impressed you

It doesn't worry you, three guys...?

Anyway, don't worry, we are nice.

Yes, yes.

...

In fact is at the bottom of religion.

Ah yes.

You don't talk much, eh?

- No, I just didn't respond.. In fact

- Is it too personal? You don't want to talk about it.

No, not at all.

- You are faithful and all that?

- Yes

- Yes, in life you have to believe in things, have faith.

- Yes

And other than that,

you have fun, listen to music?

- Yes

- It makes you happy right?

- Yes.

- That's cool.

We're on vacation now?

Ah, yes yes.

Okay.

Not in every case.

If you are interested, there's a concert there.

By the port there.

- Yeah.

- Tonight if you want.

It would be a pleasure if you would join us.

Saturday.

If you want, sure.

How cool, she doesn't know you and

she says yes right away.

- Frankly she's cool.

- Shes cool, yeah.

- That's rare in Paris.

- Oh yeah?

- Yes.

No cooking or cleaning

Do you want to go somewhere else

because we know a place a little...

a little nicer than here.

Would you like?

We can take a little walk over there.

Yeah, if you want.

- Friendly - Cool.

- Alright.

Let's go.

Good bye.

Good bye.

God be with you my love.

What are you doing today?

Praying.

And your exams?

Waiting for the results.

Will you have lunch with us on Saturday?

Imbued with love.

I salute you, love.

I am impertinent and a fool

Your power behind me,

the risk of succumbing to death.

Hello

Good morning, Who is it?

Ah, yes, yes.

How are you?

Good, and you?

Alright? Yes.
