i was at the hospital visiting my mom, she's admitted for 5 days now. and i was (watching) this movie at HBO or Cinemax with Robert De Niro (Ned) and Sean Penn were they played as a couple of escaped convicts on the run find refuge with the Church when they are mistaken for two priests and i was moved with this quote when Seam Penn (Jim) give his speech infront of many people during a mass celebration.
Jim: [as Father Brown, he is asked to give a speech to the town. He reads from a brochure stuck in his Bible that says "An Encounter with a Bear"] Have you ever felt alone, with no one to rely on? Danger on every hand, in a world fraught with danger, and when I looked into my pocket, what did I find? What did I find? [flips the brochure over - it's an ad for guns]

Jim: Nothing. There's nothing there. It's all in your head. Look, they can take the money from you. They can take the position from you. People turn their back on you. Everything happens to everybody! And you ain't gonna find nothing in your pocket to stave it off. Nothing can stave it off! Power doesn't do it. Because you never have enough. Money? I don't know. You know anyone who's got enough money? [holds up his Bible]

Jim: Is God good? I don't know. All I know is... something may give you comfort. And maybe you deserve it. If it comforts you to believe in God, then you do it. That's your business.
