St.
Patrick: Apostle of Ireland
Who was St. Patrick? The man that came to be the patron saint of Ireland
was an ordinary man who accomplished the extraordinary by placing his
faith in God. Originally sent to Ireland in the 5th century as a bishop
to lead Irish Christians, Patrick chose instead to bring Christianity to
those irish not yet converted, and did so without bloodshed. As a result
of his life and work, there emerged a uniquely Celtic form of
Christianity, a religion firmly Chrstian in belief yet not far removed
from the traditions, practice and law of the Irish. Director Dave
Tennant takes the viewer on an emotionally moving and visually dramatic
rendition of the life of Ireland's Patron Saint. Filmed entirely in
Ireland, the film follows the story of both the man and the saint,
unraveling myth and history, with commentary from Father Frank Fahey of
Ballintubber Abbey and Michael Slaven, author of The Book of Tara.

The
Story of Paul the Apostle
He was originally a powerful and implacable
enemy of Jesus, determined to stop the spread of Christ’s message. His
dramatic conversion changed the course of history. From his education in
Jerusalem under the Rabbi Gamaliel to his exhortations on behalf of
Christianity throughout the Mediterranean, The Story of Paul the
Apostle, presented by The History Channel, explores the life and legacy
of the greatest missionary of the early church. Theologians reflect on
the importance of his upbringing to his success in spreading the Word,
and an in-depth analysis of his writings - some of the earliest
Christian documents extant - shed light not just on the origins of
Christianity, but on the man who helped ensure its survival. Follow in
the footsteps of Paul of Tarsus - The Man Who Turned the World Upside
Down. 1hr 10min

Peter
and Paul
THE ACCLAIMED NETWORK TELEVISION MINI-SERIES AND WINNER OF TWO EMMY
AWARDS! Now for the first time on home video the long awaited epic
series that brings the New Testament church alive. This distinguished
production, starring Anthony Hopkins and Robert Foxworth, captures the
vitality, intensity, and humanity of two who were entrusted by Christ
with history’s greatest stewardship - the carrying of the Gospel to
all the world. They faced violent opposition from without and constant
turmoil from within. Based on the Scriptures by and about Peter and
Paul, we see how they were driven by a heavenly vision for a different
kind of world. They paid a horrendous price for their devotion -- Peter
crucified and Paul beheaded -- but their ministries transcended the
cruelty of the enemies to become important pillars of both the Christian
Church and Western civilization. 3 hr 14 min

The Passion of Bernadette
Following up the acclaimed best-selling movie, BERNADETTE, the story of
the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous, this
beautiful Jean Delannoy film tells the rest of the story of her life after
the Marian visions - the life that made Bernadette a saint. The grotto at
Lourdes is flourishing with many pilgrims, and Bernadette leaves to enter
the convent of the Sisters of Nevers to dedicate her life to God. Under
the harsh rule of the Novice Mistress who "doesn't believe in
apparitions", Bernadette, now Sister Marie Bernard, begins her life
of achieving sanctity through prayer, faith, suffering and a deep charity
toward all. With another moving performance by actress Sydney Penny, this
film reveals the incessant illness and suffering that St. Bernadette
patiently, even cheerfully endured throughout her life in the convent,
often repeating her prayer "to suffer and offer it to God."
After her death in 1879 at the age of 35 years old, when her body was
exhumed years later, she was found to be incorrupt, and her body was
enclosed in a glass case that resides in the chapel of the Sisters of
Nevers where millions have come to see the "little saint of
Lourdes." 1 hr 46 min.

Therese
Her mother died when she was four years old; her surrogate mother
abandoned her a few years later, plunging Thérèse Martin (Lindsay Younce)
into a mental collapse. Then something miraculous happened. At
the age of 14 she underwent a mysterious conversion and fell deeply in
love with God. Then - not old enough for the convent - she went all
the way to the Vatican, where she boldly stepped forth at a papal audience
to beg for permission to become a Carmelite nun. In the monastery,
Therese, a teenage girl, gained insights that breathe fresh air into the
Catholic Church and transformed the world. Challenged by the austere,
cloistered life, this pampered child discovered a simple way of loving
God. THERESE tells the true story of St. Thérèse of Lisieux,
the most popular saint of modern times. It's a story of struggle and
tragedy, and the greatest of all romances. The story of an ordinary
girl with an extraordinary soul. Directed by Leonardo Defilippis.
