On his death bed Jean Valjean voices one last prayer to the God who has filled his life with endless challenges for progress. He prays that he may see Cosette once more before he dies. Even before he voices that prayer, God has already heard and answered it. Marius has learned that it was Jean Valjean who saved him at the barricade and risked his own life to carry him home through the sewers. He has discovered also that Jean Valjean is none other than the highly revered Monsieur Madeleine, former mayor of M. sur M. who renounced his high social position to save a poor woodcutter from the galleys and that the 600,000 francs which Jean Valjean gave to Cosette was not her money at all, but the money earned by him while making M. sur M. so prosperous. Through these revelations, Marius discovers that his father-in-law is not an ex-convict, but a saint.On his death bed Jean Valjean voices one last prayer to the God who has filled his life with endless challenges for progress.
