Signor Martini wantS me
to have faith,
:48:03
Something I've never been good
at, and now I'm even worSe at,
:48:07
Not that I don't want faith,
I'm jeaIouS of the beIieverS,
:48:11
But aS a faIIen-away MethodiSt,
:48:12
I do not expeCt to emerge
from aII of thiS a CathoIiC,
:48:16
aIthough I admit Some
interior juggIing iS going on,
:48:19
To my SurpriSe, I have beCome
friendIy with Mary,
:48:22
It Started the night She Stood
by me through the Storm,
:48:26
knowing fuII weII
I'm not a CathoIiC,
:48:29
Yet, Somehow, She SeemS more
Iike Mary, my favorite aunt,
:48:32
than Santa Maria,
:48:35
Aunt Mary iS everywhere here,
her CaIm preSenCe aSSuring uS
:48:39
that aII thingS wiII go on
aS they have before,

:49:16
Wow.
:49:18
I thought I might see you ,
so I have a gift for you .
:49:24
It is San Lorenzo.
:49:25
He is the patron saint of cooks.
:49:27
ApparentIy, he was martyred on a
griII and seared untiI he said ,
:49:31
''Turn me over.
I'm done on this side.''
:49:33
No!
:49:34
Yes. And now he is
the favorite saint of chefs.
:49:37
Oh !
:49:38
I think if you prayed to him ,
:49:40
he wiII heIp you find
someone to cook for.
:49:44
Thank you , Signor Martini .
