Stigmata Page #6

Synopsis: A priest from the Vatican is sent to Sao Paulo, Brazil to investigate the appearance of the face of the Virgin Mary on the side of a building. While there he hears of a statue of the Virgin Mary bleeding tears in a small town outside of the city. Meanwhile, a young woman in the U.S. begins to show signs of stigmata, the wounds of Christ. The priest from the Vatican links up with her and cares for her as she is increasingly afflicted by the stigmata. Her ranting and raving finally begins to make sense to the priest who starts to question what his religion has stood for for the last 1900 years.

Lord, hear my prayer!

Let the enemy have no victory over her!

Behold

your servant,

dripping with blood!

Embrace me, my child. I am the Church.

You are the true enemy

of the Church, Houseman.

I am the Church.

- Stop!

- Get away from me!

Get them out of here!

Get out of here! Get out!

- Eminenza!

- Get out!

Save this woman from woe. O Lord,

save this woman, your servant.

Send her help

from the holy place, O Lord.

Give her heavenly protection.

Save this woman, O Lord!

Let the enemy have no victory over her!

Send her help from the holy place.

Frankie!

You will not destroy my Church.

Frankie!

You must not interrupt.

What are you doing?! Get away from her!

- Get away from her!

- No! No!

Get away!

It's all right. I know what...

Andrew!

Get away from her!

You don't know what's going on here!

You get off me! You lied to me!

You tried to silence her.

You lied to me, you bastard!

- Andrew...

- You tried to kill her!

I know everything. I know why you

closed down the Gospel Commission,

why you had Petrocelli

and Alameida excommunicated,

all about the lies

you've been telling for years.

You won't get away with

what you did to her!

I will not let you destroy the Church.

I promise you,

you've spent your last days in the Church.

Are you Paolo Alameida?

Give me your wisdom.

Let me be your messenger.

A messenger believes.

A messenger has faith.

You have only doubt.

Jesus said, "The kingdom of God

is inside you and all around you,

not in mansions of wood and stone."

"Split a piece of wood and I am there."

"Lift a stone... and you will find me."

Brother Alameida,

I call upon you to release this woman.

Give her grace and let her not

come into the ways of harm.

Through Jesus Christ we have

all been saved. Let us not fear any ill.

Jesus is with us

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

world without end, for ever and ever.

God bless your soul, Brother Alameida.

Go in peace.

Don't go, Frankie.

Stay with me.

Jesus said,

"The kingdom of God is inside you

and all around you...

not in mansions of wood and stone."

"The kingdom of God

is inside you, and all around you."

"Not in buildings of wood and stone."

"Split a piece of wood and I am there."

These are the hidden

sayings that the living Jesus spoke.

Whoever discovers the meaning

of these sayings... will not taste death.
