Quotes[]
- Priest: Brothers... The times we're living in... they're testing us all... they are testing our Belief. They are testing our Faith... Where is our God? Has he abandoned us? Is he watching? Even I have wondered... What kind of God would test us like this? But then I looked inward... and found that the answer to my question... lay in the question itself. The God I believe... the God I know... wouldn't do such a thing. This is not God! This thing... this evil that's befallen us... wants us to turn away from Him... to turn us away from our Faith. It feeds on our doubt. Do not give into it. Do not feed it... Do not give into it! We will fight... this evil. We will defeat this by surviving it!
