1 quoteUnderstanding Suffering and Hope Through Healing
Cinque
You don't have to pretend to be interested in that. Nobody's watching but me.
Yamba
I'm not pretending. I'm beginning to understand it. Their people have suffered more than ours...Their lives were full of suffering. Then he was born and everything changed.
[turns the page, showing an image of the newborn Jesus]
Cinque
Who is he?
Yamba
I don't know, but everywhere he goes he is followed by the sun. Here he is healing people with his hands. Protecting them... Being given children...
[turns the page, showing Jesus healing the sick; another page, Jesus protecting Mary Magdelene; another page, Jesus with children]

What's this?
[sees a picture of Jesus walking on water]
Yamba
He could also walk across the sea. But then something happened...He was captured, accused of some sort of crime. Here he is with his hands tied.
[as he speaks, Judge Coglin kneels before a communion rail, praying; turns the page, showing Jesus before Pilate]
Cinque
He must have done something.
Yamba
Why? What did we do? Whatever it was, it was serious enough to kill him for it. Do you want to see how they killed him?
Cinque
This is just a story, Yamba.
Yamba
But look. That's not the end of it. His people took his body down from this...thing...this... They took him into a cave. They wrapped him in a cloth, like we do. They thought he was dead, but he appeared before his people again...and spoke to them. Then, finally, he rose into the sky. This is where the soul goes when you die here. This is where we're going when they kill us. It doesn't look so bad.
[shows the disciples taking Jesus' body down from the cross; draws a cross in the air; shows the Resurrection; turns to an image of Jesus ascending to Heaven, then to another to Heaven's light breaking through the clouds]
