- and I forgive him ?

- as many as seven times ?

- I don't suppose you listen

to the Pope either, do ya ?

Jesus said to him,

'I do not say seven times...

but 70 times seven."'

"And Lot's wife looked back

and was turned into a pillar of salt."

Who was the first to see him

when he was risen ?

Mary Magdalene,

a prostitute.

Jesus wept !

How dare you turn your back

on this man !

How dare you do this...

and call yourselves

Catholics ?

Will you say something ?

I'm here to ask

your forgiveness.

The grace

of our Lord Jesus Christ...

the love of God and the fellowship

of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

And also with you.

- This is my body

which will be given up for you.

Through him, with him in him,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

all glory and honor is yours,

Almighty Father, for ever and ever.

Amen.

- Peace be with you.

- Peace be with you.

This is the Lamb of God

who takes away the sins of the world.

Happy are those

who are called to His supper.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- The body of Christ.

- Amen.

- The body of Christ.

- Amen.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

- Amen.
