"Do not be in doubt. Have faith for a little longer. For a moment. The woman has to pay the bitter tribute of childbirth. But she is out of danger.» And He goes downstairs leaving them disconcerted. But when He is about to go out onto the road, saying to the ten frightened children when passing near them: «Be not afraid! Your mummy is all right» – and in saying so He touches their scared faces with His hand [...]"
