The Corinthos Family
Key Scene: Sonny's Prayer
February 23, 2001

Sonny: "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I--I hurt Carly deliberately. I--I was cruel. I made her cry. But she sees right through me, Father. She still wants me. She doesn't want to leave. I don't know how that happened. I thought spending my life alone was the price I had to pay for the way I live and the things that I do, but I guess you thought different. You exploded Carly into my life. Nothing is like before. The dark places are light, the quiet is noisy. I got a home full of love that I--I never thought I--I would have. I don't deserve Carly, but I love her and she loves me. And that's what scares me. People who love me die. Maybe I should be asking you to give me more strength to push her away or for the power to leave her and never look back. But, you know, I--I don't want to be strong. I want Carly in my life even if it's dangerous for her. I know that's wrong and it's selfish, but I'm a selfish man and I do bad things. But please don't punish Carly for my life. Protect her from harm and help me keep her safe. Help her be happy. And if a life has to end, if someone has to pay for the things that I've done, take me, not Carly. Until then, all I ask of you is to watch over her as much as you can, keep her safe, and let her know how much I love her even though I can't say those words sometimes. Thank you for sending someone who loves me for now and forever. These things I ask in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen."
