Entertaining Angels

Question: The beautifully photographed scene in which Dorothy joins Peter in washing the feet reminds you of what biblical scene? When Dorothy joined Peter in washing the old man's feet, instantly one thought came to mind, the biblical scene of Jesus washing the apostles feet the night of the Last Supper. This scene is extremely significant because Dorothy is tending to the needs of those who have less than her, just like Jesus did. Dorothy plays the role of a true hero throughout the film "Entertaining Angels" because of her on-going support for anyone whom she encounters. Her unconditional love for her daughter, friends, and the poor shows how much Jesus shone through her everyday that she lived. Her calling led her to sacrifice a man whom she truly loved. She asked Forster to attend the baptism of their baby, but he refused to even listen to Dorothy because he did not want any religion involved in their relationship and their lives. Therefore, her calling to the church ended up bringing her closer to Jesus but further from Forster, a man she loved at one point in her life. Overall, Dorothy's story has an effect on anyone who learns about it, watching her grow and completely transform into a different person enabled me to see that anyone can be changed for the better if they are dedicated to their religion and to others.
