She has understood.

Well done!

Well done!

The words of our

Lord Jesus Christ

tell us that we must

make our way

while we strive

amid the cares of this world.

We make our way,

unpossessed as yet

of any abiding city.

Still on the journey,

not yet come home.

Still hoping, not yet enjoying.

Let us make our way,

not by fits and starts,

so that some day

we may arrive.

Martha and Mary were sisters

not in the flesh only

but also in godliness.

Together they clave

It's your knife.

Yes, yes! Go on!

Yes.

No, no sleeping.

No sleeping. Come on!

Come on now.

Knife.

No sleeping, I said.

Wake up!

Come on, knife!

That's it! Knife!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, you must come.

- Come where?

- Come and see Marie.

She's been here eight months, no?

Yes, and...

- I find you admirable.

- Oh?

With so few results...

I have results.

Marie has made incredible progress.

You must come and see.

Look.

That's it!

What is?

There!

She's signing the word knife.

Yes.

She's asking...

fork.

She's asking me to sign fork.

That's the sign for fork.
