Mary Magdalene Page #3

---

Will you align yourselves

to the will of God

until every act of love,

every thought of care, and every

breath is taken in union'?

That is faith.

And that faith

will have you feed the

suffering to ease their pain.

And it is that faith,

your faith,

which will lead you

to God's kingdom.

(VILLAGERS MURMURING)

Come to the water.

The rabbi is leaving today.

All those men with him, Mary.

You'll be lost.

I'm lost here.

We are your family.

No man will touch you.

Daniel won't take you back in.

Never.

Please.

I can't.

Daniel!

What troubles you, sister?

What have you said to her?

What have you promised her?

I'm her father.

She belongs with me.

We've asked nothing

from your daughter.

Peter.

Would you separate

a daughter from her father?
