BOY. LET HIM SPEND THE NIGHT HERE.
TOMORROW,WHEN FATHER FILARETUS IS SERVING,
WE’LL GIVE HIM COMMUNION
OKAY, I’M GONE, TOO TIRED...
WHOSE BOY IS THIS!?
WHAT ARE WE TO DO NOW?
IS THIS YOUR CHILD?
WHERE ARE WE TO GO?
OH, MY GOODNESS! OKAY, WHAT ELSE
I HAVE TO DO? LET’S GO...
BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT WALKETH NOT
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE UNGODLY
NOR STANDETH IN
THE WAY OF SINNERS
NOR SITTETH IN THE
SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL
BUT HIS DELIGHT IS
IN THE LAW OF THE LORD
AND IN HIS LAW DOTH
HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT.
AND HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE
PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER
THAT BRINGETH FORTH HIS FRUIT
IN HIS SEASON,
HIS LEAF ALSO
SHALL NOT WITHER
AND WHATSOEVER HE DOETH
SHALL PROSPER.
BUT UNGODLY ARE NOT SO:
BUT ARE LIKE THE CHAFF
WHICH THE WIND DRIVETH AWAY.
THEREFORE THE UNGODLY SHALL NOT
STAND IN THE JUDGEMENT,
NOR SINNERS IN THE CONGREGATION
OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
FOR THE LORD KNOWETH
THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS:
BUT THE WAY OF THE UNGODLY
SHALL PERISH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!?
WAITING FOR YOU.
AND WHY ARE YOU THROWING
CHARRED LOGS AT ME?
SORRY, HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT!
IT FLEW OUT OF MY HAND
JUST WHEN I SAY YOU COMING!
OH, I SEE!
NO, YOU DON’T!
COME ON, GET DOWN HERE!
I DON’T WANT TO, I’M
QUITE WELL UP HERE ACTUALLY!
BROTHERS ARE COMPLAING ABOUT YOU!
"THE MIGHTY HAVE STOOD UP AGAINST ME
AND THE STRONG ONES ARE SEEKING MY SOUL!"
AND WHAT AM I TO DO WITH YOU, MISCHIEVOUS BROTHER?
"AMAZING ARE THE DEEDS OF YOUR HANDS, OH, LORD!"
THEY ALSO SAY YOU SPREAD SUPERSTITIONS AND MISLEAD PEOPLE!
"MAY GOD DELIVER ME FROM THE GOSSIP OF MEN!"
IT’S NOT A MATTER OF DELIVERANCE,
IT’S A MATTER OF CONSIDERATION!
AS YOUR HEAD I AM OBLIGED
TO ASSIGN YOU A PENALTY!
"THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SAVIOUR! WHOM SHALL I FEAR!?"
WELL, I WARNED YOU! I’LL DEAL
WITH YOU, YOU BUNDLE OF MISCHIEF!
"IN THE LORD IS MY REWARD AND MY COMFORT!"
LORD, HAVE MERCY UPON ME,
LORD, FORGIVE ME!
HELP ME, OH, LORD, ON MY WAY!
FOR WEARY IS MY SOUL,
AND SO IS MY BODY,
AND I’M A SLAVE OF MY SINFUL PASSIONS!
FATHER ANATOLY AGAIN FACES
THE WRONG DIRECTION!
TURN HIM BACK AGAIN!
TROUBLE, BROTHERS! FIRE!!!
FIRE, BROTHERS, FIRE! FETCH WATER!!!
YOU KNEW ABOUT THE FIRE, MISCHIEVOUS!
"IT IS KNOWN BY NOBODY, BUT THE LORD!"
REMEMBER, YOU THREW THE CHARRED LOG
UNDER MY FEET? I DIDN’T FORGET!
"MANY ARE THE TRIALS OF THE RIGHTEOUS", FATHER FILARETUS
WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME CLEARLY?
WHY CAST LOGS AT ME INSTEAD!?
I’M A SIMPLE MAN, I DON’T
GET THOSE SIGNS OF YOURS!
"IF YOU ARE CURSED FOR THE WORD OF GOD,
THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL DWELL UPON YOU"
DON’T DODGE MY QUESTION, ANSWER!
I’M YOUR HEAD!
"BLESSED ARE YE WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE YOU,
AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SHALL SAY
ALL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINS YOU FALSELY FOR MY SAKE..."
OH, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!
"LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN UPON YOUR WRATH"
BY YOUR PRAYERS, FATHER FILARETUS,
WE’VE PUT OUT THE FIRE!
YOUR CELL HAS BURNED A BIT
BUT THERE, WE SAVED THE CHICKEN! AND...
OKAY, OKAY! ENOUGH OF THIS CACKLING!
YOU, FATHER JOB, ARE NOT IN
YOUR OFFICE BUT IN GOD’S TEMPLE!
SO LET’S NOT DISCUSS
WORDLY MATTERS HERE!
A TEMPLE IS FOR PRAYERS!
...IT’S THE CELL HERMIT’S FAULT,
HE DROPPED A CANDLE...
HERE’S MY WORD TO YOU,
FATHER ANATOLY
I NEVER WANTED TO BECOME
FATHER SUPERVISOR!
ALL MY LIFE I WANTED TO LIVE A QUIET
LIFE OF A HERMIT IN THE DESERT
MAYBE THIS FIRE WAS A SIGN
FOR ME TO START AN ASCETIC LIFE
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I’M AN UNEDUCATED MAN,
I DON’T THINK MUCH!
I CAME TO YOU TO SHARE
ONE ROOF WITH YOU
WHILE MY CELL IS BEING REBUILT
AFTER THE FIRE. DO YOU MIND?
YOU’RE THE SUPERVISOR,
IT’S UP TO YOU!
SO, WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
RIGHT HERE.
HERE!? ON THE COAL!?
YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, ON THE COAL.
YOU CAN TAKE THE PLACE BESIDE ME.
REALLY?... BESIDE YOU?...
BESIDE ME.
OKAY, VERY WELL THEN! WE’LL BOTH
BE ACCOMPLISHING OUR SALVATION,
WE’LL PRAY TOGETHER!
AND THINK ABOUT GOD.
AND ABOUT ETERNAL LIFE...
BUT KEEP IN MIND, I’M A RESTLESS
NEIGHBOR, I’VE GOT A BAD
