00:00 Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God.

00:06 There now, Mary. Is it Father you want to see?

00:08 I must talk to him and have a child. Have you heard?

00:11 Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God. Holy Mary, Mother of God.

00:19 There now, Mary. There now. Don't trouble yourself.

00:22 Thank you, Mrs. Hagan. Come along now, Mary. Let's you and me sit down.

00:27 Come on. That's great.

00:30 Where is he?

00:36 You're all right. He's talking crazy, Mary.

00:39 Mary, the call of God can come at any time.

00:50 Think of our lady, your own namesake. Did she know the hour of her motherhood?

00:54 It's not the same, Father.

00:56 We're all his servants, humbly waiting to know his will.

01:00 But look at me. I'm not getting any younger. How can I take care of a child?

01:04 Remember Elizabeth, our lady's cousin? She was called later in life to be mother to St. John the Baptist.

01:10 Was she on her own, with a widow's pension?

01:14 Well, now, lads. Everything squared away.

01:17 Yes, Father.

01:19 These are my altar boys, Miss Doonan. Grand lads, both.

01:22 A credit to their families and to St. Patrick's.

01:25 Well, boys, off you go. The day lies before you.

01:29 There, now.

01:34 Who would not count it a privilege to nurture the young?

01:37 The privilege of care, without the pangs of childbirth.

01:41 That's a rare blessing, I'd say.
