The Passion of the Christ DVD
This extraordinary film helps us to realize how much Christ suffered because of His love for us.  THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST depicts the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, beginning with his betrayal by Judas Iscariot and ending with his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. Directed by Mel Gibson who funded the film himself and co-wrote the screenplay--PASSION uses flashbacks to substantiate a handful of pertinent moments in Jesus' life and teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Supper, as well as his relationships with his mother and his disciples. Still, the drama focuses on the seemingly endless torture inflicted upon Jesus by Roman soldiers at the urging of the Jewish crowd that considers him a blasphemer, despite the attempts of a sympathetic Pontius Pilate to spare him from death. The faint of heart should be prepared for the brutal, barbaric beatings that Christ endures.  Performed in Aramaic and Latin with English subtitles, Gibson's labor of love is sure to prompt discussion and debate as to historical and Biblical fact.  This film, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, may go down in history as the greatest movie of all time.  Everyone must see this movie at least once or more times every Lenten Season.--

"It is Thy passion then, that makes me hope, in spite of my sins, that I too will one day reach the society of the saints... to sing Thy mercies, and to thank and love Thee forever in paradise." - St. Alphonsus de Liguori, The Passion and the Death of Jesus Christ

"Take refuge in the sacred wounds of Christ, and there in the fervor of prayer, and in serious meditation on His passion, find a salutary remedy for all the wants of thy soul." - Thomas à Kempis, Valley of the Lilies
