Quote #10
"Even now I am the last priest in this land. But Our Lord was not silent. Even if he had been silent, my life until this day would have spoken of him." (10.84)
This is Rodrigues's new spiritual belief system. Though Rodrigues didn't realize it at the time, God was never silent—he just wasn't talking in a language that the priest recognized. The truth is that the big guy spoke volumes through people like Rodrigues himself: people willing to sacrifice themselves in the name of love.
