Editor's Notes
n the award winning film called "The Mission," Robert DeNiro plays a mercenary who has taken asylum in the local church after killing his brother in a fit of jealous rage. He eventually leaves the church and heads to a mission post located above the waterfalls in a South American jungle. Because of what he has done, and how bad he feels, he ties himself to a several-hundred pound net of items that represents his sinful life. He feels compelled to drag this sack of sin around with him as a way to do penance for what he has done.As you watch this clip you'll see him slip under the burden of his past, with the rope choking the very life out of him. He feels terrible and yet doesn't know what to do with his sin and the shame that comes with it. Our hero can't let go of his past life. Have you ever felt like that? Are you tethered to some transgressions this morning? Are you gasping under the guilt of things you did several years ago?
Mendoza stabs him in a jealous rage and then spirals into extreme guilt and depression over what he has done. Seeking repentance from the Jesuit missionaries, he begs them not to make his penance too light. Father Gabriel, who has temporarily returned from beyond the falls, takes Mendoza's armor and weapons, ties them in a satchel, and attaches the satchel to Mendoza's waist. In one of the movie's most memorable scenes, he then assigns Mendoza to scale the Iguazu Falls again and again. Mendoza, still proud and bitter despite his guilt, refuses help and proceeds to scale the falls until he collapses and cries out to God. Despite one of the Jesuit priests cutting the satchel and releasing him of his penance, he re-ties it to his waist, because they are not whom he seeks forgiveness from. Once reaching the tribe's camp, One member of the tribe comes and cuts the satchel, then releasing him from his penance, and the armor is symbolically thrown into the falls to present the tribe forgiving him.
The center particle of the snowflake is a blemished dirt particle, got caught by the water particle and froze… light that reflects makes it look white. God covers us with his blood, till our blemish and dirt is no longer sin.
No one knows a snowflake for its dirt particle but for its purity and perfect white color
