what about you?

You're reading this

on your own?

Yeah.

Wow, that's good.

Very good, Tommy.

You should all be

reading Dante.

Jack, what about you?

What is this?

Yes, that would be

"Spawn" number nine.

It's very good.

Look at this.

That's Angela...

very nice.

This... I can't

let you keep this.

This is an occasion

of sin.

- I'm confiscating this.

- You can't do that.

Yes, I can. You know what else

I can do? I can do this.

What are you doing?

Are you gonna test me?

Pick it up and pray

for God's mercy.

Pick it up!

Christian,

my stuff's over here

if you want

to take a look.

# This is the day,

this is the day #

# That the Lord has made #

# That the Lord

has made #

# This is the day

that the Lord has made #

# Let us rejoice #

# And be glad in it #

# This is the day,

this is the day #

# That the Lord

has made. #

Amen. Hallelujah.

Praise Jesus Christ.

Holy is Your name.

Bless Jesus.

Please be seated,

brothers and sisters.

This is the day.

Well, we are at war,

brothers and sisters...

at war with the world,

at war with the flesh

and at war with the devil

Satan and his dominion.

By all indications,

brothers and sisters,

we are living

in the end times.

And make no mistake about it...

the devil is real.

And what's worse,

he knows he has lost.

So like a cornered,

wounded animal,

he will lash out

and take

as many of each and every one

of you to him as he can

before he is cast down

into that fiery pit forever.

The beast walks.

Now what we know

of Satan

and his demons...

they know the world

and its rules

far better than we do.

So he will use your

imagination against you.

He will use your lusts

against you.

And he will use

your pride

to deceive

and devour you.

And that is why

we are so fortunate,

brothers and sisters,

to be called here

to this camp

at this time...

this moment.

The Kingdom of Heaven

is yours if you take it.

If not, tortures

beyond your comprehension

will be your lot

for eternity.

Now Jesus gives us

no other choice.

So rise.

Rise, brothers and sisters.

Rise, children of God,

and take that

which He has offered you.

# All hail the power

of Jesus' name #

# Let angels prostrate fall #

# Bring forth the royal diadem #

# And crown him #

# Lord of all #

# Bring forth the royal diadem #

# And crown him #

# Lord of all. #

Amen. Praise Jesus.

Come on, Jesus.

Hallelujah.

Lord Jesus.

Lord Jesus, protect me.

Protect me, Lord.

Lord Jesus, protect me.

Lead us not

into temptation,

but deliver us

from evil.

Amen.

Okay, mass 7:
00 A.M.

sharp tomorrow.

Brothers and sisters,

go in peace.

Amen.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Did Tommy get into

the liquor cabinet again?

You told me

that was behind you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

You went down pretty hard there.

I was kind of

worried about you.

Yeah, it was

a little unusual.

I'm fine.

Well, at least

you didn't get hurt.

Brothers need to be

folding chairs now,

not socializing

with the sisters, okay?

Good night.

Truck!

Jimmy, it's just a joke.

Oh sh*t,

he's having a seizure.

- Jimmy, this is a joke.

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

- Jimmy, Jimmy.

- Let me get this in his mouth.

Someone get Christian.

Go!

Well, from what

the boys tell me,

seems like it was a stimulus-sensitive

myoclonic seizure.

What?

What is that?

It's a seizure

brought on

by a sudden light

and/or surprise.

Apparently they were

playing a little joke on him.

We're checking

with the parents

to see if he has

a history of seizures.

And we're gonna take him

to the hospital now just in case, okay?

I'm sorry, Jimmy.

I never thought...

I'm sorry.

It was a joke

my brothers played

on me all the time.

Yeah, well, you of all people

should know better, Tim.

You have to think about caring

for your brother next time, okay?

Okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Of course.

# Be Thou my vision... #

Timothy,

the body of Christ.

# O Lord of my heart #

# Naught be all else

to me... #

- John, the body of Christ.

- Amen.

# Save that Thou art #

# Thou my best thought... #

Thomas,

the body of Christ.

# By day of by night... #

Amen.

# Waking or sleeping #

# Thy presence my light. #

# Won't let the devil, get out #

# I'm gonna let it shine #

# Won't let the devil, get out... #

Father.

Yes, Thomas,

how can I help you?

I was hoping we could talk.

I've been having...

We have time.

I will come find you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much, sir.

Brothers, I have

our schedule for today.

After morning prayer time

we'll break up into groups.

Your groups will be designated

by your bunk placements.

All right? And then after lunch

we'll have rec time.

The game of the day...

Capture the Flag.

All right,

so group A...

we have Timothy, Jack,

Thomas and Jimmy.

We'll start with share group with me

down by the baseball fields.

And since Jack here felt

that sarcasm instead of gratitude

was an appropriate response

to the kitchen crew's work this morning,

the four of you will be on clean-up duty

this evening.

- The sin of one affects many.

- The sin of many.

Does anybody have anything

that they want to share?

How are you guys doing

with your commitments this summer?

Which ones? Are we gonna have

enough time to go through all of them?

Ha.

You know what?

I have to repent.

I broke one of

my commitments.

I found this CD...

this Journey CD.

I don't know why, but I must have

listened to it 100 times.

Do you still have it?

No no, I threw it out.

I mean, I can see

that it was affecting my spirit.

Good good.

It's good that you can see

how rock music can affect you.

I mean, before I found the Lord

and came to this community,

I can say rock music led me down

a very dangerous path.

It started with

going to concerts.

And at the concerts

there were drugs,

okay, and drinking

and people engaging

in premarital sex.

Doubt you were

one of them.

- What's that?

- Nothing.

- I have a question for you.

- Yeah.

You understand why I

tore up your comic book?

Honestly, no. But I'm sure you have

a really good explanation.

Yes. Isn't it

clear to you

that comic book is just another part

of youth culture?

It will do absolutely nothing

to get you closer to the Lord.

No.

But even if it is,

that doesn't give you any right to destroy

my personal property.

Jack, if you give in

to the temptations of this world,

it just makes it

easier for Satan

to find just a weakness,

a vice,

and squeeze.

Okay?

Why does he have

so much power?

Who gave him this power?

God?

Well, no.

No no, of course not.

Then why? Why would God

allow Satan to exist?

Why put us all at risk?

Why, if He loved us?

Well, it's because of us.

It's our sin.

It's the sin

of Adam and Eve.

We give Satan

his power.

It's us.

My grandfather died

last month.

Yes, I know.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I just wonder

where he is now.

Is he in purgatory?

Is he suffering?

We suffer in purgatory so that we
