Scenes with Brother Theo 3

John Sheridan

Concentrate all you want--there's nowhere you can go!

Brother Theo

I'd expect a comment like that from someone with no clearly defined pattern of faith!

Sheridan

I believe in a little bit of everything. I'm...eclectic. Open-minded.

Brother Theo

Rudderless! Directionless! Cast adrift without compass on an ocean of ecclesiastical possibilities! Tossed by the winds, this way, that way!

Sheridan

Aw, I'm hearing a lot of talk, and you still haven't made a move.

Brother Theo

Your Ambassador Delenn has a wonderful phrase: "Faith...manages!" [Moves a chess piece.] Check...and I do believe...mate?

[Theo tends to the mortally wounded Edward after getting him down from the makeshift cross]

BEBrother Edward

Is there enough forgiveness for what I've done?

Brother Theo

Always, Edward, always. Take my hand. [Edward fumbles, and Theo takes his hand.] Through the mysteries of our redemption, may Almighty God release you from all punishments in this life and in the life to come. [Sheridan joins them, a look of dismay on his face as he realizes what's going on.] May He open to you the gates of Paradise and welcome you to everlasting joy. Father, look with compassion on Your servant Edward, who has trusted in Your promises. Welcome him to Your Kingdom in peace. By the authority which the Apostolic See has given me, I grant you a full pardon and remission of all your sins. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
