"MARY, MOTHER OF THE SON OF GOD" "Stay right there, Manuela!" "Come on, honey." "Let's go." "Where are your sandals?" "Help me out." "Put your foot in here." "Help me out." "We're running late." "You're running late!" "Joana, Mommy can't miss the bus!" "We're not going anywhere." "You can't stay here alone!" "Neither can she!" "I'll stay with her!" "Okay, we'll take her along." "You're a little doll that doesn't fit in my purse." "Mommy, take her with you." "Take care of her for me." "All right." "Not like that!" "She'll get sick to her stomach!" "Okay, I'll put her in up right." "The candy man!" "Joana, wait!" "Joana!" "The candy man!" "Mister, give me one." "Which one do you want?" "Joana, there's only enough money for the bus." "Let's go." "No, Mommy, I want a candy stick!" "Joana, I said "no"." "Let's go." "May I give her one?" "You're very cute." "Thank you!" "You're welcome!" "Father, you're busy..." "No touching, Joana!" "I should have given you warning." "I told you he wouldn't be able to take care of me!" "She'll behave." "You have to give me lunch!" "I have to catch the bus." "I'll be back by dusk." "You mean Joana's going to spend the day with me?" "I want to go with my mom." "No, you can't go!" "Come here, darling." "Come here." "I'm sorry." "Mommy's very nervous." "I'm sorry." "Joana, since you'll stay here and I'll give you lunch, I'll tell you a story." "Can you help me?" "Look, I need to get that water out of the church." "Come here." "It's easy." "Come here." "You'll have fun." "Push it that way." "See?" "It's easy." "There you go." "Father, I'm sorry." "I should have asked you first, but I've been very upset." "What's going on?" "I've got to pick up Joana's medical exams." "But she looks fine!" "She's not." "The doctor says her case is very serious." "If only my Antonio hadn't died... I'm scared, Father." "I've lost so much... I can't lose my Joana." "Take care of her for me." "She can't see me panic, I'm her fortress." "Relax, my dear." "I'll take care of our Joana." "Go in peace." "Mommy'll be back soon, okay?" "I'll be praying for you." "I'm finished." "How about a little story?" "You get to choose what it's about." "Little Red Riding Hood." "Little Red Riding Hood?" "I don't remember it very well." "How does it go?" "Her mommy tells her not to take the forest road." "She does, and the Big Bad Wolf eats her granny up." "No way!" "It was her mother's fault for not explaining how to go." "I see..." "Do you know another story?" "Mrs. Lady-Goat and her Seven Kids." "I don't know that one." "Mrs. Lady-Goat told her kids that she was going out, and that they shouldn't let anybody in." "They did, and the Big Bad Wolf ate them all up." "That's horrible!" "Who was to blame?" "The kids?" "No." "The mother, for leaving them all alone." "Oh, I get it." "Those mothers..." "But I know a story about a mom that my mom told me when I was your age, and that is right here, in this book." "Which one?" "It's about a very loving mommy." "What's her name?" "Her name is "Mary"." "That's the same as my mommy's name!" "This story begins more than 2,000 years ago." "Mary's mother was called Anne." "She was old and barren, and that made her suffer, but God had a gift for her:" "Anne had a baby girl, who would become the mother of the Son of God." "Mary grew up very happy beside her parents." "When she turned 1 5, Mary's life began to change." "Impure!" "Filthy!" "Bow down in submission, public woman!" "Crawl, for the Judgment Day is upon us!" "The Messiah is coming, dressed in a lion's hide, the relentless warrior with his sword of fire!" "I tell you, woman:" "the pure have nothing to fear, but the heretics shall feel my wrath!" "We're honored by your presence here, Joseph." "I expect from you respect, and, above all, love, the same love Anne and I have shown our Mary." "If we could only offer you a better dowry... I don't want a dowry." "All I want is Mary as my wife." "To respect her and to love her, as she is respected and loved here in her parents' house." "Our agreement shall be kept, Joseph." "The one to whom you are betrothed will be your wife." "I hope you're as happy as I am, Mary." "Mary!" "I made a table for you, and now I'm making two stools" "for our house." "For the family we'll become." "Joseph was going to be the father of Jesus?" "What a question..." "In a way, yes." "I have to go out, Joana." "Come with me, and I'll tell you along the way." "One night, while Mary was getting ready for bed, the angel Gabriel appeared to her!" "You swear?" "An angel?" "An angel!" "Rejoice, Mary, the Lord is with you." "Who are you?" "I am Gabriel, the angel of our Lord." "Why would he send an angel to me?" "God has chosen you, Mary, and you carry a child." "That's impossible." "Do you know about Elizabeth?" "My cousin?" "Your elderly cousin." "What about her?" "What seemed impossible has come true:" "Elizabeth is barren, and yet she is pregnant." "I'm very happy for her." "That's wonderful!" "In my case, it's different." "Your son will also be different." "But I've never been with a man!" "He won't be the son of a man, but the Son of God." "How is that possible?" "For God, nothing is impossible." "I'm only a handmaid!" "Why was I chosen?" "Your son will rule over all men." "His kingdom, Mary, will have no end." "Do not worry." "The glory of God will overshadow you." "Oh, my Lord!" "I accept this." "May it be so." "A disgrace!" "A disgrace!" "Our family will be... lt's a disgrace!" "Have faith, my man!" "It was Joseph." "It must have been him." "It was Joseph!" "He fooled us." "You have betrayed us, my daughter!" "We trusted you!" "I betrayed no one, Father, yet I carry a son." "Do you know what happens to adulteresses?" "Can you measure the shame that will fall on our house?" "The humiliation for a father that a daughter's lust causes?" "I'm no adulteress!" "I've never been with a man!" "You speak as if you were still pure, ignorant of the laws of Nature!" "There's no such thing" "as a fatherless son!" "l am but God's servant, and he is the father of my son." "Elizabeth is also pregnant." "That, too, is a miracle." "Elizabeth cannot bear children." "Except through the will and the grace of God." "Stop it, man!" "Have faith, Joachim." "Faith in God, and trust in Mary." "Our daughter is pure." "She speaks the truth." "God works miracles, Father, and we shall not doubt them." "We must know if what Mary says is true," "We must know, through Elizabeth." "You will go visit your cousin, see her condition." "And you'll stay there for a while." "In your condition, it's even dangerous to stay here." "Woman, what is this?" "What's happening to us?" "Joachim, I think you're being imprudent." "The desert is very dangerous." "Manasseh, Mary must talk to Elizabeth." "When does the caravan leave?" "Tomorrow." "You must take her along." "Mary, I don't know what to do!" "He's so very weak!" "Manasseh?" "Manasseh!" "Manasseh, Mary..." "Mary has healed our son!" "l didn't do anything!" "She healed him!" "I don't understand." "I didn't do anything." "I doubted you, my daughter." "Forgive me." "Forgive me, Mary!" "Father, please, don't kneel!" "Please!" "You, sir?" "Don't bother about me." "Good wood." "It's a fine stool." "I made it for your daughter." "What's wrong?" "Has something happened to Mary?" "Mary left the village, Joseph." "Mary?" "Why?" "Where did she go?" "At first, I doubted." "I doubted even you." "After all, since we had agreed on the wedding..." "Now, I no longer doubt:" "neither you, nor my daughter." "Mary carries a blessed son." "A son?" "What are you saying?" "Joseph," "Mary carries a baby boy who is the Son of God!" "How?" "Why?" "I can't believe this!" "Why Mary?" "I don't know." "Mary doesn't know, either." "Mary has deceived me!" "She has betrayed me!" "Don't say that!" "You must believe, for the love you have for her!" "I love Mary!" "Thank God... I can't believe this!" "I beg you:" "have mercy!" "Nothing she says..." "There is no motive..." "There can't be a reason!" "This can't be happening." "Joseph, I beg of you:" "please, don't denounce her." "I won't denounce her, but she will have to become a drifter," "husbandless, carrying a child!" "Thank you for not denouncing her." "I will never pronounce her name again." "Mary!" "Why?" "Why?" "Why, my God?" "I wish you could come into my heart and make it drunk, so that I might forget everything I have heard." "Have mercy on me, Lord." "What am I to you?" "Joseph suffered." "While it was difficult to believe in Mary, it was impossible to doubt her chastity." "God then sent the angel to him..." "Joseph, believe in Mary." "God is with her." "Do not be afraid to take her as your wife." "Raise her son, and give him the name of "Jesus"." "God be with you, my son." "Father!" "Don't bother about him." "He's hopeless!" "We are all God's children, even you!" "Jesus came for the poor and the sinners." "Yes." "Amen!" "Was everything all right for Joseph and Mary, too?" "Mary went to visit Elizabeth, who was indeed pregnant, and who said to her:" ""Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb"." "Was there a wedding?" "Mary received the news that Joseph was waiting for her, and she went back to marry him." "Was there a party at the wedding?" "There was a party, but, after the wedding, the problems continued." "The Romans wanted to count the Jews as if they were cattle, to know how many there were to charge more taxes." "All of them had to go back to their home villages." "How are you going to travel in your condition?" "You'll be counted as a son of Bethlehem, and I'll be counted as the wife of a son of Bethlehem." "Do we have a choice?" "No, we don't have a choice." "Mary, what can I do?" "I'll go look for help." "Someone will help us!" "Dear God..." "My Lord, Father of us all, protect Mary at this hour." "It's your son, my Lord!" "Mary, this is Jesus." "This boy will teach and move all of mankind." "The news of the birth of the Son of God spread and attracted the three Wise Men from the East." "After a long journey, they went to Herod's palace to ask about the boy." "We didn't hear his cry." "Perhaps, kings don't cry..." "Of course not!" "Not even when they're babies?" "Where is the king?" "The new king!" "The "new king"?" "Where is the newborn child?" "A king was born?" "The new King of the Jews is born." "We have come to worship the Messiah." "I, too, would love to worship him, but where might he be?" "We thought he'd be here." "So did I, but he isn't!" "We must find him." "We've crossed the desert to see him!" "Find him!" "And let me know." "I, too, must worship him." "Death!" "Kill all the small children." "All of them, sire?" "The small ones." "Boys and girls, sire?" "The boys!" "All the little boys?" "From newborns to one-year-olds." "To be safe, up to the three-year-olds." "Let's settle for two-year-olds, sire?" "Last night, during the watch, as we guarded the flock, an angel appeared bathed in a strong light!" "Everyone was struck with fear, but the angel said to them:" ""Do not be afraid but rejoice, for the Savior is born!" "The Christ, our Lord!"" "Can this be the Savior?" "The Messiah?" "The Christ?" "The Son of God?" "This boy is a word as yet unheard, for he is still a boy, but he is a word that is visible." "Where are you taking the boy?" "To present him in the temple, to consecrate him to the Lord, according to God's law." "Thank you, Lord." "You have kept your promise." "I can now die in peace." "God promised me I wouldn't die before seeing his son, and here he is, the messenger of the Lord." "After this boy, nothing will ever be as before." "That which is above will fall;" "And what is below will rise up." "And you, poor woman..." "A sword will pierce your soul." "Joseph took Mary back to the cave, and that night the angel Gabriel appeared to him in his dream and said:" ""Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt." "Herod wants to kill Jesus." "When the hour of your return has come, I will tell you"." "You'll get better, now." "God bless you." "Going back to our story, Herod died and the archangel" "Gabriel appeared to Joseph and told him he could take Jesus back to Israel." "Jesus was already six years old." "Jesus finally met his grandparents." "After six years, the family was reunited again." "Everything seemed to go back to normal." "Jesus!" "Jesus!" "It's dead." "We have to bury it." "Mother!" "Mother!" "My son, your grandfather has left us." "He's just fine." "Joachim lives on." "Where did you learn to do that?" "My Father taught me." "How can you know that?" "I don't know, Father." "Did you make that little table?" "James found a dead bird." "Today?" "I touched it, and it came back to life." "Isn't that good?" "Why did the bird live again, and my grandfather die?" "I don't know, my son." "I don't know... I don't understand." "We need not understand, we just need to accept God's will." "He learns so quickly!" "It's flawless." "He is suffering, Joseph." "He's beginning to perceive..." "What has God planned for our son?" "For His son, Mary." "Now, it's just the two of us... and God." "I loved Joseph." "Why did God have to take the one I most loved?" "I don't know." "is this what life is all about?" "Loss, absence, pain... I know that God loves his children." "And everything else." "I have faith that you will make us understand." "Prepare the way of the Lord!" "Make straight his paths." "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" "You brood of vipers!" "Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?" "Repent!" "Are you the Messiah?" "I am not Christ." "Are you the Prophet?" "No." "Who are you, then?" "I'm the voice of one crying out in the desert." "Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees!" "Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire!" "I baptize you with water, for repentance, but the one who comes after me is mightier than I." "I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals." "He will baptize you with the holy Spirit." "Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." "He is the one of whom I spoke." "My brother, I want you to baptize me." "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?" "Allow it, for now." "This is my beloved son!" "John the Baptist was baptizing in the river." "Jesus asked to be baptized, and John said:" ""l want to be baptized by you."" "He has recognized Jesus." "He looked at him, and said:" ""Behold the Lamb of God."" ""the lamb"?" "Leah, there is a serious problem." "What happened?" "There is no more wine." "Stay calm." "Stay calm." "How shameful, Mary!" "How shameful..." "What happened?" "We're out of wine, Mary." "We're out of wine!" "How did that happen?" "My poor son..." "What humiliation!" "My son, there's no more wine." "Leah is so distressed!" "But what can I do, Mother?" "I don't know." "Perhaps you could help..." "My hour has not yet come, woman." "Look how everyone is so happy..." "Ending the party will be humiliating." "Come!" "Come!" "Fill the pitchers with water." "Serve the wine." "Do as he tells you, please." "In every house, they serve the good wine first." "Then, when we've drunk freely, they serve an inferior one." "Here at Menasseh and Leah's, it's different." "They left the best for last!" "I should not have insisted." "Forgive me, my son." "I am not ready, Mother!" "I've walked through a door of no return, do you understand?" "l'm frightened!" "l understand." "I know not what my Father wants of me." "If I could protect you from everything... I just want a sign." "Forgive me." "There's no going back." "I must go." "Where?" "Where, my son?" "Take me with you!" "Take me!" "No, Mother." "I go alone." "I must see what my Father wants of me." "I hope I have the strength to fulfill his wishes." "Go, then." "Remember that your heart must guide your way." "What a hard life you have!" "Are you thirsty?" "Oh, you don't want to speak to me." "But I forgive you." "I know you're thirsty... and you must be hungry, too." "I know many things." "Things from above, and, mainly, things from down here." "I also know that you are not the Son of God." "If you were, you'd turn this earth into bread!" "Come on." "Transform it!" "Satisfy your hunger, man!" "Man does not live by bread alone." "Man needs every word that God speaks!" "Damnation!" "Damnation!" "Get up!" "Your son serves the Devil!" "He serves Satan!" "Where is he now?" "Where is he?" "Why did he abandon you?" "Why did he abandon us all?" "Where is he now?" "Confess that you tremble!" "Confess your fear!" "Where are your angels?" "Shouldn't the Son of God be surrounded by angels?" "Did the Father confine the Son to solitude?" "Jesus!" "Jesus, stay with me." "I, too, am an angel." "We will be friends." "We will walk side by side." "We can do so many good things... lt is written by your Father that the angels shall guard you and carry you in their hands, so that you might never feel pain." "It is also written: "You shall not tempt the Lord, your God!"" "Come here!" "Come here!" "You are going to hell!" "Look at that wonder!" "Isn't it beautiful?" "Everything!" "I shall give you everything!" "All the control, the glory, the power..." "Every kingdom in the world!" "It will all be yours, and the price is small." "Just give me your hand, and welcome me into your heart." "To the Lord, my God, whom alone I adore and serve." "To the Lord, my God, whom alone I adore and serve." "I'm in no hurry." "We will have plenty of time." "My son!" "Son, where have you been?" "Sit here." "I spent 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, Mother." "I ate nothing." "I became hungry, and was tempted." "Even though God protects you, I am so frightened." "Am I not here?" "For how long, my son?" "Until my Father calls me." "Where are you, Nazarene?" "Satisfy our hunger!" "My family's starving, Lord!" "Welcome, Jesus!" "We're hungry!" "We want bread!" "You are our light!" "Where are your miracles?" "What do you people want?" "I tell you, the Son does nothing!" "It is the Father who does all!" "If you can't feed us, go away!" "I came in the name of my Father!" "But you do not accept me!" "Yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him." "Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father:" "Moses, who heralded my coming, shall." "If you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?" "I believe!" "Save me!" "What is your name?" "Mary Magdalene." "I need your peace, your love..." "Free me from these demons, these pains, this torment that lacerates my heart!" "God so loved the world that he became man through his son, and he who believes in him shall not die, but shall live forever." "Mothers never forget!" "God bless you, my son!" "Father!" "Meet my new friend, my assistant for the day!" "This is Joana, and we'll share the food." "Go back to the story!" "Joana, let's eat a little... I'll eat while you tell it!" "You know how kids are, Mom..." "Please heat up the food." "It's useless to argue with her, but I don't remember the story." "It goes like this:" "Jesus and his disciples left Nazareth..." "Tell me, do you know their names?" "No, I don't!" "Then, I'll tell you." "Simon Peter, Andrew, who was Simon's brother," "James, and the other James, son of Alphaeus," "Judas, John, Philip," "Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew," "Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot." "Jesus traveled about and preached with his apostles, and Mary waited for news of her son." "We were all out on the boat, and Jesus was alone on shore." "It was incredible." "The waves were huge, and the wind was strong against us." "Everyone was tired of rowing, and Jesus came toward us," "walking on the sea!" "Another miracle?" "We were terrified, but Jesus said: "lt is I," "Do not be afraid"." "They acknowledged his power," "it's always like that." "Even those who doubted him." "Miracles, miracles..." "That's all they want from him." "I think Jesus would prefer not to work miracles." "I wish he didn't have to expose himself so... lf l could go back in time, before any of the miracles, when Jesus was only a boy..." "His words are powerful." "They transform people." "Since I first met him, I have felt that in him." "Simon Peter!" "My Lord!" "Peter, cast your net." "We've fished all night, my Lord, and caught nothing." "Nothing!" "I'm telling you to cast your net." "But there's nothing here, my Lord." "We haven't caught a fish in days." "I know this sea, my Lord." "I do!" "Andrew, get the net." "Simon, James, let's go!" "Get the net!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Come on, Andrew!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Come on!" "Let's go, James!" "Let's go, James!" "Come on!" "Thank you, my Lord."

"I'm glad you came, Mother, but I'm afraid you cannot stay." "It might be dangerous." "I came to tell you that John the Baptist was arrested." "Herod might do him harm." "You needed to know that." "You must plead for him now." "He has fulfilled his mission." "He's in danger!" "Won't you help your cousin?" "Mother, you must leave." "Judas, come eat with us!" "No, thank you." "I don't see what we're celebrating about." "Just eat." "We shouldn't even be eating." "My Lord, while we eat, the Romans rob and kill our people." "Why won't you fight with us?" "Why let the Romans free?" "Why don't we fight our oppressors?" "Answer them, Jesus." "They want answers!" "I come to save the world, not to judge it." "Love the Lord your God above all else." "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." "That is the whole answer." "Once, a Pharisee invited me for supper." "I sat at his table, and helped myself to his bread." "Furious, the Pharisee asked me why I didn't behave according to the scriptures." "Why didn't I wash my hands before touching the bread?" "The fool has clean cups and plates, but his heart is evil." "He cherishes the front seats at the synagogue, the greetings he receives, and being called "master" by men." "You won't be called "masters", though, because there is only one Master."

"I can't accept that, my sister!" "Why didn't you come sooner?" "Lazarus would still be alive!" "Calm down." "How, if the one I most loved is dead?" "Why did you let him die?" "Don't despair, Martha." "God has placed him in my path." "I will bring him back." "Jesus, my brother has been dead for four days!" "By now there will be a stench!" "He who believes in me, though he die, he shall yet live." "Father, I beseech you for your grace." "I know you are with me, and I will go wherever you lead me." "You brought me here for the mission of bringing Lazarus back to this world," "and this is the first step of the path that will lead me to you." "Make me the instrument of your will, Father!" "Forgive me, my Lord." "Forgive me!" "My hour is at hand, Mother." "I will be denounced, and the priests will sentence me." "I will be turned over to the Gentiles, and they will mock me." "I will be spat on, whipped, and killed," "but, on the third day, I will return." "I need your strength." "Come, Jesus!" "Hail, Son of God!" "Hail Jesus, the Prophet!" "Hail, Son of God!" "Why do you insist on doing everything wrong?" "Don't you know that a king should enter Jerusalem on horseback?" "Thus it was written:" ""Your King comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, a small ass"." ""The King of the Jews"..." "He is called:" ""The King of the Jews"" "and he works miracles!" "Many miracles... lf we leave him loose, all will believe in him, and what will become of us?" "We mustn't show weakness." "That man can fatally wound us." "We need peace, not a rebel." "He is already worshiped by many." "It is said that he gathers huge crowds when he speaks." "l wonder what he preaches..." "He is a dangerous man." "He eats with the poor, embraces the lepers, speaks to everyone..." "Such a man must die!" "But we cannot kill him!" "We cannot, but Rome can." "Pilate will know how to deal with him."

"In Jerusalem, Jesus went to his Father's house: the temple!" "Welcome, Don Fernando!" "Don't stop." "It's beautiful!" "I came to visit the parish." "We can talk later." "Continue with that beautiful story." "All right." "This is Joana." "Hi!" "Hi, Joana." "The story is very cool." "Jesus entered Jerusalem!" "It's one of my favorite parts, when Jesus enters the Temple..." "My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it into a den of thieves!" "Out, thieves!" "Heretics, out of here!" "Out!"

"So it was that Mary bid farewell to Jesus, her dearly beloved son." "God, Father of my son, I beseech you for mercy." "Spare your son such suffering." "If I can't suffer for him, let me suffer with him." "Spare him from suffering this great pain alone." "Have mercy on your son." "There are rumors everywhere." "Roman soldiers are looking for you." "My life, Simon Peter, is in my Father's hands." "We will stand by you." "We abandoned our families and our work, and your presence fills us all with happiness." "Nevertheless, one of you will betray me." "My Lord, that's impossible!" "John, ask him who the traitor is." "My Lord, who would be capable of betraying you?" "He who is the proudest and the most arrogant." "It will be he to whom I give a piece of bread dipped in wine." "Why are you looking at me?" "Whatever you must do, do it quickly." "This is my body." "This is my blood." "Do this in memory of me." "My departure is certain, for thus it is written, but that man who has hastened it, it would be better if he had never been born." "I woke up in anguish, Simon Peter." "I dreamt of Mary." "She was on Mount Calvary, all alone." "Sit down." "So you are the "King of the Jews"?" "You say so." "Where are your crown and your throne?" "A king doesn't go around in rags." "My father didn't send me to be powerful." "I came to be poor among the poor." "Your "father"?" "Who is your father?" "I am the Son of God." "And God won't rescue his own son?" "Strange..." "What a strange God..." "He allows his son to be harassed and humiliated by his own people." "No one chooses to be poor." "Your people have asked for your death, did you know that?" "They preferred Barabbas, the thief." "Another poor man." "The priests call you a "traitor" and a "heretic"." "They, too, want me to kill you." "Why?" "So many people want you dead!" "They say you work miracles, that you are a menace..." "Work a miracle now, and save yourself." "Cry out for your father."
