Troubled Water Page #2

neglect your bicycle.

I have my hands full with

taking care of the people.

Usually I'm in full control.

And everything is part of

God's plan.

So when you can't find an

explanation it's part of God's plan?

If it's all part of God's plan...

...why is there so much evil?

- Is that part of His plan too?

- Yes.

Many come to me to share

their experiences with evil.

And many can move on

thanks to those experiences.

Do you ever forgive on behalf

of God, but condemn personally?

I'm not sure forgiveness

is that important.

Many people never forgive anything,

but God forgives everything.

- So what is important?

- Reconciliation.

To be able to accept

things the way they are.

- Hi.

- Hi, mom.

- He wanted to sleep here.

- That's alright. Thank you so much.

Now go and lie down.

Lie down, I said!

Huh?

Do you like in that yellow house?

No.

- What do we do now?

- What do you mean?

Just look at him!

Do something then!

- How's it going?

- Fine.

I have to drop him off and do

some shopping before work.

- Do you want to sit at the back?

- Yes.

Take me over there.

And spin around.

Are you okay?

There was a crazy lady that

came over and talked to me.

It was just a bit unsettling.

- Do you remember the Holy Communion?

- Yes, of course.

The mass of Thomas.

The mass for those who doubt.

Have you every had Communion?

No. I don't believe in it,

so why should I do it?

You don't have to believe. Communion

is flesh and blood, bread and whine.

It works no matter what.

Why didn't you mention it earlier?

I'll tell them you can't come.

At normal workplaces you go

home when your child is ill.

Where is the babysitter

you're trying to contact?

Where is the babysitter

you're trying to contact?

Here's some chocolate milk.

Jens?

- Tickle me like you did before.

- Watch out.

Stop it. Stop.

- I'm not that ill.

- You told your mother you were.

Are you okay?

Stop it.

Jens, let me see. Let me see...

Stop it!

Let me see. Let me see.

I'll just go and open.

I got pregnant as a student.

His father wanted me

to have an abortion.

So I had to make a choice.

- Jens or the father?

- Jens or everything.

My family thought I

had made the wrong decision.

If we had had another bishop

I wouldn't have become a priest.

But Jens' father knows about him.

Doesn't he?

I've often prayed for good things

to come out of Jens' fatherlessness.

Isn't it nave to believe that

good things will come from bad things?

I am nave.

That's why I'm a priest.

I believe in a god whose

existence can't be proven.

But I know that it works.

So you're never in doubt?

I'm in doubt about a middle ground.

It's either one way or the other.
