Raining Stones Page #2

Synopsis: This Ken Loach film tells the story of a man devoted to his family and his religion. Proud, though poor, Bob wants his little girl to have a beautiful (and costly) brand-new dress for her First Communion. His stubbornness and determination get him into trouble as he turns to more and more questionable measures, in his desperation to raise the needed money.

for Him...

by choosing something that

He does not want.

I have nothing to eat

or drink for one hour...

it is not a very long time

and it is to...

it is to remind me of the great

Son of God who will come.

Before I go to Communion...

I will listen carefully to

the priest at Mass.

I will tell God...

I want to grow up like Jesus...

and I want to meet Him

in Communion.

Very good. Very good.

Thank you, Coleen.

Thank you.

Now you see...

the Church, well we call it

Mother Church...

has decided that when a child

reaches the age of seven...

the age of reason...

it's time for the parents to prepare

them for their first Holy Communion.

So the parents must teach that child

about the loving family of God...

and that their first Communion marks the

beginning of a beautiful friendship with Christ.

I'll take the vault, lad.

Okay, I'll get 'the room'.
