What do you want of us?
1:47:13
I have often watched the larks
in the fields round my home.
1:47:21
They are such humble,
modest creatures
1:47:25
who need only a sip of water
and a few berries
1:47:31
in order to live,
and soar into the heavens.
1:47:39
One day, I found myself thinking
that we, too, could be happy
1:47:45
if we were content with little,
like the larks.
1:47:48
If we could live as they live,
singing,
1:47:51
and thanking the Lord
who created us.
1:47:57
That is why we came to Rome...
1:48:00
to ask your advice.
1:48:04
Well, what advice
can I possibly give you,
1:48:08
my dear young brother?
1:48:10
God has given you
a most precious gift...
1:48:13
the grace to approach Him
through His beloved creatures.
1:48:17
What more can you want?
1:48:19
Simple people understand us,
but the others...
1:48:23
Perhaps we've made mistakes.
1:48:25
This is what we want to know.
1:48:27
Is it not possible, Holy Father,
1:48:29
to live according
to the teachings of our Lord?
1:48:33
Or have we sinned
through presumption?
1:48:35
If that be the case,
1:48:37
then we would like Your Holiness
1:48:39
to tell us of our errors.
1:48:41
My dearest son,
errors will be forgiven.
1:48:46
In our obsession
with original sin,
1:48:50
we too often
forget original innocence.
1:48:59
Don't let that happen to you.
