“Something strange has happened.”
“What?”
“I’ve been good. I swear to God.”
“It’s okay. Just tell me what happened.”
“I’ve never lain with a man, yet I’ve become pregnant.”
“I don’t know what to say.”
“It must be supernatural. There will be something wonderful about the child.”
Joseph did not believe her, but he loved her so. After a small eternity, he spoke. “It’s a miracle. I’ll love and care for the child.”
From this act of forgiveness, one of the world’s great religions was born.
