[ManInKhakiExorcist]

Here’s one for you; something I’d never noticed that I found intriguing, as a writer:

On page 2 (paperback), there’s a mention of Merrin having a calendar card in his pocket; 12 years out of date, featuring the “What we give to the poor…” line.

The novel (as well as in the film) features the discussion of Merrin’s exorcism in Africa transpiring 10-12 years prior.

Conclusion:

He keeps the calendar card as a spitual memento. The exorcism “damn near killed him”, and must have been a life changing event; his faith must have strengthened from the ordeal.

Thoughts?

M.I.K.E.
