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.  1 hr. 36 min.

John Paul The Great
     Karol Jozef Wojtyla, known as John Paul II since his October 1978 election to the papacy, was born in the Polish town of Wadowice, a small city 50 kilometers from Krakow, on May 18, 1920. Throughout his early twenties, and during World War II, he had to work in a Nazi-run rock quarry to earn a living and to avoid being deported to Germany.
     In 1942, aware of his call to the priesthood, he began courses in the clandestine seminary of Krakow, run by Cardinal Adam Stefan Sapieha, archbishop of Krakow, and was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Sapieha in Krakow on November 1, 1946. He carried out his priesthood under the constant watchful eye of Poland's communist regime.
     The Cardinals elected him Pope at the Conclave of October 1978, and he took the name of John Paul II. His election sent cheers through his native Poland since he was the first Slav ever to take the seat of St. Peter.
     His pontificate, one of the longest in the history of the Church, lasted nearly 27 years. During that time he would change the image of the papacy forever, with a mass appeal never before seen in the history of the Church.
     John Paul The Great takes you through the extraordinary life of one of the 21st century's greatest men.

Pope John Paul II
     This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla's journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people and changed the face of the Church and the world; how he defended the dignity of mankind.

     Shot on location in Rome and Poland in close connection with the Vatican, this is the definitive epic film on the life of Pope John Paul II.
     Watching this film has renewed in me a sense of profound gratitude to God for having given the Church and the world a Pope of such an exalted human and spiritual nature. - Pope Benedict XVI
DVD Features: Language: English, Subtitles: Spanish, Widescreen, Dolby Digital, Special Features: 16 Page Collector's Booklet with Exclusive Photos, Interviews, Deleted Scenes, Special Cast Interviews with Jon Voight, Cary Elwes and others, Behind the Scenes, The Making of the Movie, Footage of the World Premiere Screening at the Vatican with Pope Benedict XVI.

Great Souls: Pope John Paul II
     How a young Polish Catholic boy went from an aspiring actor and an athlete to become the first non-Italian pope in 400 years is a dramatic story. How John Paul used his high office to undermine and help destroy Communism in Eastern Europe while at the same time transforming the Papacy onto a world stage was revolutionary and inspiring, if not controversial at times.
     Filmed on location in Poland, Rome, London, and the United States, leading churchmen, friends and colleagues, historians, journalists, and his personal biographer examine the character and forces that enabled John Paul II to be acclaimed universally as one of the most important personalities in the twentieth century.
