Maria.

Where is Maria?

JESUS IS TAKEN FROM THE CROSS

AND PLACED IN HIS MOTHER'S LAP

Do you have something in white?

In white? Of course.

It's in the other folder.

This is from last year.

And this is 2005 or 2006.

That looks a bit frugal to me.

It is a more minimalistic

kind of arrangement, yes.

We do have more lavish ones.

But that's not white.

If you really want pure white...

- Yes, we want pure white.

Of course.

You should arrange everything the way

you would want to remember it.

If you'd like to be alone for a moment...

No.

You take consolation in your faith.

That is good.

If the bereaved

take consolation in faith,

it's always easier...

- But it must be the right faith.

Everyone has their own.

Many ways lead to Rome.

- No.

There is only one right way.

Well...

People always mistake religion

for some private matter.

But religion is all about facts.

Do you understand?

Yes, well...

And given the facts,

there is no reason to be sad.

Our daughter lived like a saint.

Evidence indicates

that she died free of sin.

Your daughter was doubtlessly

a wonderful person.

That's not the point.

Maria's greatest wish

was that her brother learn to speak.

As if by a miracle,

he spoke his first word

at the moment of her death.

His very first!

It's in his records.

The doctor who saw him before and after

says he cannot explain this.

These are signs.

One must only be able to read them.

I'm almost sure our daughter

committed no sins to speak of.

She'd confessed most, anyway.

I consider it highly probable she died

in a state of perfect contrition.

And she received the Eucharist

on her deathbed.

She no longer could swallow,

but according to ecclesiastical law,

Communion is complete

when the Host touches the lips.

Even before she was ill,

her greatest concern was avoiding sin,

and going to God's throne

with a pure heart.

Everyone who met her

was touched by her pure heart.

We will ensure that her memory

does not fall into oblivion.

We will spread the word of this miracle,

and not rest

until her beatification begins.

Beatification requires a miracle,

and we've already fulfilled that.

What?

Don't you agree with me?

JESUS IS LAID IN THE TOMB
