Children of Sorrow Page #6

---

when people come across something

they don't

understand and they need

an easy answer to

explain it away.

And when the lies came,

the police came.

That's what brought

the police to our door.

So why did you shoot at them?

We didn't.

They came in shooting.

We tried to hide in the main room.

They burned us out.

She saved my life.

She was proud of you.

No, she wasn't.

She always talked about you.

Her beautiful sister.

She was so proud of you.

She was happy, Ellen.

She was happy.

Look, I'm sorry I made you

cry, but now you understand

why we tape

everything around here.

Because people don't understand,

because people

get the wrong ideas.

And I'll be damned if I will

let any one of my followers

ever be hurt by anybody.

I want people to know

that we weren't monsters.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

In my hand

I hold a recipe.

It's a recipe for distrust.

It's a recipe for fear.

It's a recipe for hatred.

You know what it is?

What is it?

It's love.

"Simon,

there's no love on the plate.

"There's nothing but pens and papers.

There's no love there. "

There will be.

'Cause we're each gonna

take a slip of this paper

and we're gonna write something

about the person next to us.

All right.

Can everybody write?

'Cause I didn't ask that.

You never know.

Just wanna make sure, right?

Which way do we go?

This way or this way?

I haven't decided that.

Evan, if we will just wait for

instructions, then we will find out

the way things are done

instead of jumping ahead.

That's good, Father Simon.

Here we are.

I know it's good because I said it.

All right. Everybody write

something loving and affirming.

I'm gonna join in, too.

I will write about

Brother Brian.

You will write

about Brother Frank.

Who will write

about Sister Tracy.

Who'll write

about Sister Veronica

who will write

about Brother Ben,

who will write

about Sister Ellen

who will write

about Brother Alan.

Time's almost up.

All right.

Let's begin.

Brother.

Read.

Stand and read

for us, would you?

"Brother Brian sings like a bird.

He also has nice eyes. "

It's true.

Yes.

Thank you,

Father Simon.

"Brother Frank is the most

amazing kickball player. "

Stand up.

"Sister Tracy has the sweetest smile.

It lights up the whole place. "

How nice!

"You are helpful and handy.

I love your birdhouse. "

It's really pretty.

"Brother Ben, you are so loving

and kind, so considerate.

"I love you. "

I love you, too.

"You are so warm

that when you finally came,

"our family felt complete. "

Thank you.

"Brother Alan has

a beautiful smile. "

And there's a smiley face.

"Brother Evan has nice eyes

and doesn't judge me. "
