...devotion to you,

Blessed Mother,

for the repose of the soul of my father,

Romeo Garbellotto.

May he be spared

the tortures of purgatory

and be whisked to the bosom

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Praise God.

Are you packed,

young man?

I have your

albuterol.

Yeah, I'm almost done.

Is Grandpa

in heaven now?

I hope so, sweetie.

But every day

we have to offer up

our deeds

and our prayers

so that he might leave purgatory

and enter heaven.

What's purgatory?

Tell your sister

what purgatory is.

Purgatory is a state

in which those suffer for a time

who have died guilty

of venial sins

or who have not satisfied

punishment for their sins.

I have no idea

what he just said.

Thank you, sweetheart.

I don't either.

Purgatory is like jail.

It's a place

of suffering we go

so that our soul

may be purified

so that we are ready

to meet God.

Do I have to go

to purgatory?

Everybody goes

to purgatory.

Shh, no. No, sweetie.

You're a good girl.

Just be God's girl.

The world out there...

they want to take that away from you...

your right

to go to heaven.

That's why you need to get

on your knees every day and thank...

Tommy's going

to hell.

Rose, bite your tongue.

That's not nice.

He is. When he's

babysitting me

and you're

at your meetings,

he makes me go to bed early

so he can talk to his girlfriend.

And the community says

it's a sin to have a girlfriend.

- He does, I swear.

- Shut up, Rose.

Do not tell your sister

to shut up.

And no swearing,

young lady.

It's not a sin

to have a girlfriend.

It's just your brother's

too young.

When do I get to go to camp?

When you're older.

But now you get

to go to bed.

I have to pack.

I hate you.

Hello.

Father Phineas McAllister

to see Daniel Jacobs.

Yes, Father.

Father McAllister

is here

for his appointment

with Daniel Jacobs.

Hello, Daniel.

How have you been

this week?

Have you been eating?

Daniel?

Son, you can't hide

from me forever.

It's over

six months now.

Daniel.

Are you hearing me

at all, son?

I'm going away

for the next two weeks.

I'll be at camp

with the children

from the community.

Daniel, may I see that?

May I see your book?

Please.

Daniel, listen to me.

Listen now.

There is hope.

I have offered it to you

time and again.

Now just take the hand

that is in front of you.

Huh?

I'm damned, Father.

And you...

you, my priest,

have failed me,

just like you have

always failed.

No.

Yes, you have failed.

You have failed.

You have failed.

You will leave this earth

having left no mark,

just scars.

You failed.

You failed yourself

and you betrayed

your sister

because you do not

trust in God.

Are you happy

with your life, Father?

Are you... are you proud

of all that you've accomplished?

I'm a servant

of the Lord.

Nothing happens on this earth

without God's permission?

- Nothing.

- Huh.

Well, then I hate God...

as should you.

Daniel, now...

No, I was reading

the Old Testament.

I was reading

the Book of Tobias...

the Book of Tobias.

The demon Asmodeus killed seven men

before God intervened

and sent Raphael the Archangel

to bind Asmodeus...

seven men.

That's God's will.

There's no...

there no hope.

There's only God's will.

Daniel, please.

Your time is up.

And you will not see me

again after today.

That's God's will.

That's...

that's God's will.

Goodbye, Father.

Daniel?

Did you know about this, folks?

These Islamo-Fascist

extremists

are using children

as decoys

to get past

the military checkpoints

and detonate

their car bombs.

These are the kind of animals

we are dealing with.

And it is getting sicker

every day.

Don't ask me. Just look...

Thank you.

You're going to hell!

God is a loser!

All right, this is it.

Come here.

I want to pray

over you.

O Jesus,

you are our hope.

Please find your way

into my son's heart.

Transform him into a man,

a warrior for Your kingdom.

Keep the devil and all his demons

far away from him

and protect him from

the sins of the flesh.

We ask all this

in Your name.

And please, Dad,

watch over him.

Amen.

Okay, I am going to give

this one to the nurse.

You look like you're going to prison.

What's the matter?

I'm fine.

Hey, just try

to have fun, okay?

It is camp after all.

Concentration camp.

They do still have

the camp dance, don't they?

Perhaps you and Melissa

might share a dance.

Huh?

I love you.

Hello, brother Jack,

John.

Hey brother.

How are you?

God is good.

- How are you, John?

- Lost all my clients, but...

Yes, I know.

I'm so sorry.

Here.

Thanks, Dad.

- Be good.

- Be good, you guys.

We love you, sweetie.

Nice.

I know I'm gonna get stuck

bunking with Jimmy.

Is that a problem, brother?

Looks like we're

bunking together, Tommy.

Looks that way.

Hallelujah, brother.

Hallelujah.

Hey Jack.

All right,

boys, welcome.

Welcome to another year

of servant training at Camp Hope.

I am Christian Bonderman.

I will be your pastoral counselor.

Some of you have already

worked with me

as your young adult

leader back home.

Everyone here has completed 10th grade

at the community high school.

Everyone's made commitments

to Young Adults.

We all know the rules

we are expected to live by,

but just so

we are all clear, okay?

There's no sign

or representation

of youth culture

that is allowed.

There's no rock music.

There's no rock paraphernalia.
