Stations of the Cross Page #4

Sacrificed? What do you mean?

A sacrifice, you know?

When you make a sacrifice for Jesus...

by eating no chocolate

or sleeping with a thin blanket.

Ah! Giving something up.

I would like to sacrifice

this beautiful view.

But how would you do that?

By looking away?

We must look like two strange snowmen.

They're coming, they're coming.

Children, look at the beautiful view.

This makes the walk worthwhile.

View, view?

I see no view.

Down there. You could see it

even better without the telescope.

That is a very, very beautiful view.

Not so loud.

- I think we deserve a pick-me-up.

Look, that's the whole family!

There's mom,

there's dad,

there's Katharina,

there's Thomas,

and there's Bernadette.

Here's Maria.

Who wants a biscuit?

- I do. -I do!

Let's take a photo here.

Did we bring the camera?

- I think so.

Maria, Johannes is four years old.

You don't need to carry him.

You'll only dirty your blouse.

I was just taking care.

- Look, Mom. There's a stain.

Just look at that!

I can wash it.

Why did you take off your jacket, anyway?

- I was too warm.

Put it back on.

- I'm still too warm.

Your lips are blue.

Put your jacket back on.

Johannes?

Come out of that muck.

Here. That's better.

So now we line up

in front of the beautiful view,

and Bernadette

will take a family photo of us.

Thomas, put that paper away.

It's not paper, it's a telescope.

Thomas, do as your mother tells you.

Maria, come here.

Shouldn't I take the picture?

You should come here.

But that way Bernadette can be in it.

Must you always talk back to me?

I just want to please Bernadette.

- You don't have to please Bernadette,

you have to obey your parents.

Come here!

And now... smile please!

One, two, three.

That's what you get.

You can delete it already.

Johannes?

Maria was naughty,

but now she's good again.

Johannes, hey! Look!

Here comes the funny elephant.

Stop it. It won't help.

Boo!

- Thomas!

Fine. So much for the family picture.

Thanks, Maria.

Hello, Johannes.

It's Sunday, the world is beautiful.

It's so lovely, gather round now.

Everyone look at the camera.

And smile!

Don't make a silly face.

One, two, three.

Say cheese.

Now let's see.

- Now let's see.

Maria is making a funny face!

Thomas, quit it!

Maria, can't you make a normal face

for once in your life?

Mom just wanted a nice picture

for the relatives.

What was that all about?

Being sulky because

you weren't shown in your blouse?

However beautiful the day,

Maria manages to be grumpy.

You'll need to do something about that.

Won't you come along?

I didn't want to think

about my appearance.

That's why I tried

not to be photographed.
