I don't know what to think anymore.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Wisdom is a grace we must seek from God.

How can we fight them?

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Violence only leads to more violence. If you must choose a weapon, choose the one they fear the most.

Our faith?

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Yes, our faith, and our intelligence. [points to Karol's forehead] Our fine minds.

[smiles]

Yes. Yes. Thank you, excellency. [kisses Sapieha's hand and walks away]

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Wojtyła? [Karol turns] Caution.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Christianity itself is at stake. Therefore it is essential that you never mention you're training to anyone. You must go about your daily lives as if nothing has changed. At the same time, you must take advantage of every available moment to study and to pray. Being a priest means serving God. But it also means serving Poland. This is the highest form of resistance, to give hope to those who have none. And with God's good grace. We shall succeed.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Karol, to be a good leader you must first learn to follow.

Thank you, Holy Father. For allowing me to be present.

The time has come.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha
[Karol takes his hand]

Karol. Trust God. He has a plan for you. In you, he has placed a gift. Honour it.

I will do whatever God asks.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Dear God, protect him.

[giving a confession, tearfully]

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Tell me, my son.

I - I no longer know... what to do, how to feel, how to respond. I feel... I have such anger in my heart, Father...

Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha

Anger is not a sin, to feel outrage in the face of evil is only normal. The more important question is, how do you express it?

I've begun to wonder, if I should take up arms.
