Brother Cadfael's Words of Wisdom Part One: God Sees Not with the Eyes of Man

Brother Cadfael: God sees not with the eyes of man. Man beholds only the outward appearance. God looks on the heart.

Lazarus the Leper: Then he shall find it here.

Brother Cadfael: And he shall find it beautiful. As I do.

Some words of wisdom from Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael (played by Sir Derek Jacobi). This clip comes from 'The Leper of St. Giles,' the forth episode in the series.

A great wedding is to take place at the Abbey, between a beautiful young heiress, Iveta de Massard, the grand-daughter of famed crusader Guimar de Massard, with whom Cadfael had fought at Jerusalem, and the powerful, much older Baron Huon de Domville. But it is no love match, as she is being coerced by her guardians, Godfrid & Agnes Picard. The baron disappears on the night before the wedding, only to be found lying dead in the forest. Cadfael examines the body and determines that he was murdered. Abbot Heribert authorises him to persue the case further.
