PROCEED

"The righteous and the evil prosper and suffer in equal measure in this life.  It is only when they reach the next do they get sorted out."

Somebody who knows what they are talking about

Frau Angelica500

A woman learns too late that there are some decisions that cannot be recanted.

Frau Angelica, the step-daughter of a wealthy aristocrat, is banished to a convent because she has to given birth to his illegitimate son...to cover their public embarassment, the child is presented as her brother.

One year later, when alive with the flowers of Spring, her mother comes to tell her that the child has died...

When her mother has left...in despair, Frau Angelica goes to her garden and concocts a poison from the herbs that she has grown there for just such a purpose...she is determined to join her child in the next life...she drinks the poison and kneels to pray...

The Madonna appears before her with the Christ in her arms and whispers...

"Was not my suffering enough to soothe the pain of all mothers who must outlive their sons?" she whispers.

Frau Angelica suddenly realises that she will not join her child in heaven but will be cast into hell in penance for her cardinal sin.

 

So...decision time...PROCEED or ABORT
