in our hearts for many years to come.

Speaking of hearts, a great heart beats

in the bosom of Mr Horace P Bogardus.

Mr Bogardus is a very modest man.

But when you have a heart that thinks

only of others and does so much good,

then, my friends, you have a heart

that can laugh at the years.

Mr Bogardus is a fine example

of the joy of giving.

To him, every day is Christmas.

Indeed, he has holly in his heart.

Thank you.

St Mary's is founded on faith, hope and

charity. The greatest of these is charity.

- A gift to the Church is deductible.

- We thank him for his generous gift.

Now I'd like to say a few words

to our graduating class.

I'm going to make it very brief.

Today is joyous

because you're graduating.

It's also sad

because you're leaving St Mary's.

I can't sum up

what you've learned here in eight years,

and what you're taking

is not just what was in books.

It's important, but it isn't everything.

What you're taking

is what you have to give to others,

what the good sisters have taught you.

If any of you are ever in trouble,

no matter what,

just dial O for O'Malley.

- Did you order the cab?

- It'll be outside.

Sister Benedict in chapel?

Dear Lord...

Dear Lord,

remove all bitterness from my heart.

Please help me to see thy holy will

in all things.

Help me.

Please... Please help me.

- Are you going with me, Sister Angela?

- Yes, Sister.

- Goodbye, Sister.

- Goodbye, Sister.

- Goodbye, Sister.

- Goodbye, Sister.

You know that wherever I am,

my heart will always be with St Mary's.

- Goodbye, Sister Benedict.

- Goodbye, Sister Michael.

- Father.

- We know your heart will be here.

We'll always remember you

in our prayers.

Thank you.

- Goodbye, Father.

- Goodbye.

Sister!

Sister Benedict!

Sister, I can't let you go like this.

You know when Dr McKay

said you were perfect?

He was right,

for that's what you are.

But he didn't mean physically.

Because, Sister,

you have a touch of tuberculosis.

Dr McKay felt that

you shouldn't know about this, but I've...

Thank you, Father.

Thank you. You've made me very happy.

- I'll get well quickly now.

- Of course you will, Sister.

If you ever need anything,

no matter where you are...

Yes. I know.

I just dial O for O'Malley.

Right.
