Summary
Aldo has never really been one to think much about penance.
“We honor God in a multitude of ways,” he’d told Thomas once. “I agree that discomfort is useful. We learn to turn away from our sins and commit to do better. I don't understand what mutilating yourself in His name is meant to accomplish. We were not put in this world to suffer, Thomas."
Thomas had been quiet for a long time. "It is a different thing, though," he'd said finally. "You will agree on that much at least. Self-harm is a sin. Self-flagellation has a place in doctrine."
Aldo had winced. "Next thing you'll tell me is you've joined Opus Dei. You don’t think confession is enough? Prayer?”
“I think mortification of the flesh has its place,” he’d said absently, eyes faraway.
“Does it serve a purpose, though, apart from hurting you? Does senseless pain really bring you any closer to Him?”
Thomas had barely flinched. Aldo had felt possessed by the urge to grab his jaw and direct him forward, look at me, look!
“We must repent, Aldo,” he’d said simply. "By whatever means necessary."
He’s always thought Thomas did enough repentance as it was for the two of them. He thinks he understands better now.

Summary
“Oh,” Lawrence said, with a half-smile. Ray would find this anecdote amusing. “She doesn’t seem to appreciate the limitations of our vocation. So I can't quite follow all of her directives, is what I meant to say.”
He waited for Ray to make one of his normal jokes about the differences between clergy and laypeople, but Ray’s brow crinkled. “You haven’t been following the doctor’s orders?”
//
Or, Lawrence gets some awkward medical advice. Ray has always been a very dedicated assistant.

Summary
“Well, our Dean is a born manager,” Aldo replies. “Although…” He frowns, shakes his head as if trying to dissuade himself. “I do wonder, sometimes.”
“What of?” Vincent asks.
Aldo sighs, a long laboured noise. His hands dart up again to his glasses although they remain firmly in place. “You asked us once,” he finally says, “what we knew of war. A good question, Your Holiness, yet I cannot help but wonder what you know of Thomas Lawrence.”
I understand that he is no longer yours, Vincent thinks. He is your friend, and I have no intention of standing between you, but you cannot sink your teeth into him and growl whenever another comes near. Not anymore.
Or: in the days after, Vincent, Thomas and Aldo wrestle with ambition, loyalty, and the price of never getting what you want.

At some point Thomas says, slightly vaguely, “I think… I was dead. Was I dead?”
*
title from the hymn Now The Green Blade Riseth, which is one of my favourites. The version performed by Tony Krogh is particularly beautiful.
