Oh, I still rebel now and then.
Discipline can be hard.
And mind you .. I don't pretend I love
every man in this house like a brother.
Every minute of the day.
No you don't.
But I belong here.
That might be alright for you, Marc.
But we don't belong.
That's not for me to answer.
Nor for you for that matter.
Belonging comes ..
I don't know how.
You're reading or praying or sitting in
the window watching the rain come down.
Then suddenly you feel
at home .. and at peace.
You belong.
And then, you can
begin to help the world.
And you can really help.
I know better than you what it needs.
Were you ever in the main ward of a
County Hospital on a Saturday night?
When they bring in the
beatings and the drunks.
All the people who try to kill
themselves and each other.
Because they have nothing to cling to.
No faith, no love, no roots, no altar.
Those are the things
Can you?
Are you ready?
John .. where is your own faith?
Where?
[ Bell ]
There is the bell for class.
Marc.
you here to talk to me?
Why yes. He did ask me to look in on you.
Follow these instructions
for now Brother Mayer.
Yes, doctor. Thank you.
Blessed Joseph.
Blessed Joseph.
Morrell .. Peter Morrell.
Hello Father .. small world isn't it?
How is Father Sierra?
The poor chap is running a high fever.
He's talking about Blessed Joseph
all the time. Who would that be?
Blessed Joseph Martin,
the founder of this house.
A Jesuit Bishop.
One of the few. I see.
I can't believe my eyes. The last
time I saw you was .. let me see ..
Fordham College.
I was one of your students.
Of course .. yes. Yes, I remember.
You will also remember
that I was thrown out.
Quite a row, wasn't it.
It just doesn't pay to call
the Dean a pious hypocrite.
No, it doesn't. Although I still think
they should have let you graduate.
Thanks. Perhaps it was all for the best.
Fordham's loss was Harvard's gain.
Well.
And what is a Harvard man
doing in this little town?
Born here.
I came back here when I got tired
of the rest of the world and ..
First thing I know I've inherited a few
Jesuits along with Dr Morton's practice.
Quite a joke, isn't it.
No joke to Father Sierra.
Tell me .. is his condition alarming?
Yes, quite. There is some congestion
of the lung. Pneumonia maybe.
Three years on your back as a paralytic
may be good for the soul but ..
It's poor preparation for the kind
of fight his body is up against now.
The whole case is rather puzzling.
Puzzling?
I was just thinking. If he had as much
faith in his legs as he has in ..
The Blessed Joseph, he might
not need a doctor at all.
