A deserter, Captain.
Bring him in.
My file said to await further orders. I'm still waiting.
It's our fault, Padre. You're acquitted.
Thank you, Captain.
Report to the medical corps. You'll be a chaplain. Fetch your uniform.
Very well.
Expect to work with wounded soldiers.
I can do that.
Look! I took his soul! Look at Moretti! Naked as the day he was born! Hide it! The uniform elves seem to have taken your pants, Moretti. Come on, fellas, it's cold. I I just came out of the showers.
I better put on both my sets of uniforms. It's probably a good idea. Ам джакоморосі. Oh. Hello.
How does Padre Pio become a chaplain in the medical corps?
And Padre Pio.
A priest. That's something. Not sure if it's a
good or a bad sign.
Why would it be a sign of anything? Would mean I'm going to die. Priests aren't just for the dying Giacomo.
I'm off to the Austrian front in a few days.
Put it in God's hands. Just like that, pray. Hopefully.
The body of Christ. Amen. The body of Christ. Amen. Thank you from us, Padre. Just glad to be useful. Are you well, padre? You you look gone? Well yes. I've had a fever every day since I arrived. You look starved. This uniform is huge on you. Yes. My mother made me into a man. The capuchins made me into a monk, and the army Made me into a clown. Don't they have a smaller size? I believe not. But I don't mind being a clown. This place needs as many laughs as it can get. Where are you going, padre? Off to the military hospital. Many wounded soldiers arrived overnight. Apparently A major loss for us in Caporetto. I'm a priest.
What vision does Padre Pio experience while caring for wounded soldiers?
They said you were in bad shape, so I came to anoint you.
I'm not going to die, Padre. I felt myself come back from the edge when you prayed.
Thank Jesus for that.
Pray for the dead. They used chlorine gas on us. It was hell.
I'm sorry.
I swear I could hear a terrible laughter. Cackling as my brothers fell in the trenches like flies.
I've heard that cackling.
Have you? Was it what I think it was? Devil.
Don't let it trouble you. That miserable worm has very little to cling to.
Soldier, what are you doing out of your bed?
Me? No, nurse. I'm not a patient. I'm a priest in the medical corps. On duty visiting with this man.
You look worse than him, padre. Come into the exam room and wait for their dottore, please.
Oh Oh. Uh.
My friend, why are you out here in the cold?
I've been discharged from military service. I was on the way home and missed my connection, waiting for the next train.
You have a fever. Here, take my coat.
Please, sir. I couldn't take your coat.
Come, they have heat in the cafe.
I don't have any money. Not even for the train ticket home, uh let alone for coffee.
Why is Padre Pio barred from public ministry and confessions?
Don't worry, PL. It's on me. I'll keep you company until morning. It's so cold tonight. It's still two hours until sunrise. Do you think we can afford the sleeper car? With what the army gave us for travel, we shall be glad we're not in with the cattle! Two cups of coffee, but Vahole.
Grazie amico. Who are you?
You know who I am. Do I? Sleep, my friend. I'll make sure to wake you to catch your train. Sleep. After you got me coffee and into
the heat. That would be rude.
Perhaps just rest your eyes then. Just for a moment.
Maybe just for a moment.
I woke up just before my train departure. The stranger was gone, but I found a ticket home in his coat pocket. That's quite the story. So you've been discharged for good. Yes, Padre Agostino. Honorable discharge. The doctor was appalled by my health. You do look worse for wear, Padre Pio. Burning up with fever as usual. I'll resume my duties tomorrow. Looking forward to the confessional. The confession lines are enormous since you've come back, Pio. Nothing like a good confession to keep our souls light, Padre. And I absolve you of your sins in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
