I think I can see something.
What?
What is it?
- Boo! - Ah!
Selah!
I knew you were making it up!
Look, we gotta save it.
Uh..
- Would anyone like more lamb? - Hm, that's..
Are you guys good down there? Yeah?
Yeah, I can tell.
Someone keeps stealing my knife.
Wives.
Daughters.
Thank you.
Do you accept my grace?
I do, Shepherd.
Oh, my Shepherd.
I need you. Come, and help me.
I need a deeper experience with you
than I have ever had before.
Come down upon me, and fill me with yourself.
Help me be closer to you.
Thank you, Shepherd, for allowing us to be your wives.
Thank you for your grace and love.
Thank you for your grace and love.
Thank you for a beautiful day.
Thank you for a beautiful day.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Have we truly
stripped ourselves from the knowledge
that keeps us from the grace of Eden?
- Yes, Shepherd. - Yes, Shepherd.
- Yes Shepherd? - Yes, Shepherd.
Do we seek that experience?
We seek a profound experience..
Have we cleansed ourselves
from the rot of the outside world?
Yes, Shepherd.
- Have we? - Yes, my Shepherd.
My wives.
You all came to me..
...broken..
...searching..
...hurt by a cruel world
that is more filled with pain every day.
I took every one of you in.
I protected you.
I sacrificed my life for you.
I gave you shelter
I gave you daughters
and sisterhood..
...and life.
Let us pray.
And reflect on our blessings.
Oh, my Shepherd, we seek a profound experience.
Oh, my Shepherd, come down upon me and fill me with yourself..
Oh, my Shepherd..
Tamar, should you see if Maria needs help?
Of course.
See you later, Selah.
Did you like my sermon, Selah?
I'm glad.
I can always tell when my sermons are boring
for your gaze wanders up amongst the trees.
My Shepherd, no, your sermons are always wonderful.
I'm only teasing.
I know you listen most ardently.
So beautiful.
Just like your mother.
Can you tell me the story of when you first saw her again?
So beautiful.
Can you tell me the story again?
When you first saw her?
Make sure one of the wives re-braids your hair.
He looked at me.
And then..
I mean..
I'd never felt anything like that before.
Shepherd just said
"Shall I hold you?"
That's how it is being a wife.
It is like healing, sisters.
And he just kept telling me
"You are perfect"
and "You are accepted."
And then he held me there
in his arms.
In that moment, everything was perfect
and I knew I never wanted to leave.
"You are perfect"
"You are accepted."
You only just came here.
Selah!
You can't. She's a wife.
She's the same age as us, though.
You're not allowed to speak to a wife like that.
I'll tell on you.
Sheep-shit you will!
Sisters. Stop!
Mommy!
Selah hit me.
Selah.
Have you anything to say?
She started being mean to Eloise
even though she's a wife
and Shepherd says we're not meant to be mean..
Tattle-tale.
- What was that, Selah? - Nothing.
If you two sisters cannot work together
then I suppose I'm gonna have to separate you.
Selah, take the leftovers out to the hut please.
What are you doing, you stupid child?
Give it to me.
The offerings are rich today I see.
You know the food is meant as penance.
To help purify.
She won't eat.
She's fasting.
She thinks the bleeding is punishment for Eve's sin.
She's right, the Shepherd says so.
You think that because you haven't had your time yet
that makes you special.
He tells you that.
But it will come soon enough.
Prepare yourself, child.
Our great Shepherd won't be so sweet on you then.
If you are impure, is it not right to drive out the rot?
