I

n all of God’s creation we see such splendor and beauty, mystery and wonder. Within this creation there are beings with intellect and free will: humans and angels. From the creation of the world, the realm of the angels and the world of men have interacted. This interaction is not always a positive one. This film explores the spiritual world, that very real but unseen realm: God, the human soul, angels, demons (fallen angels), spiritual warfare, the reality of demonic possession and exorcism, the dangers of the new age movement and the occult, and much more. Featuring well-known speakers and authors Steve Ray, Fr. Andrew Pinsent, Fr. Marcus Holden, Joanna Bogle, Fr. Jeremy Davies and Fr. Behruz Rafat, this film offers an insightful and sobering presentation about the reality of the powers and dominions of the spiritual world.

Excerpts from the Mass of Canonization of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha • St. Kateri Thanksgiving Mass in Rome • A Reflection on Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha by Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB • Theatrical Trailer to order, call 1-800-651-1531

or 350 years, this Christian Mohawk woman has been interceding for and inspiring natives and non-natives around the world. On October 2012, Kateri Tekakwitha became the first Native North American woman to be recognized as a Saint. This powerful documentary takes us on a journey from northern New York State to Montrèal and Kahnawàke; from Washington State to New Mexico, as we follow St. Kateri’s incredible journey of deep faith, heroic sacrifice and great love of Christ. The film features many people who have been touched by her—including Philadelphia’s Archbishop Charles Chaput, OFM, of the Prairie Band Potawatomi tribe, the only Native American archbishop; Bishop James Wall of Gallup, NM, the diocese with the largest number of Native American Catholics; Sr. Kateri Mitchell, SSA, the Executive Director of the Tekakwitha Conference, and Jake Finkbonner, the little boy who received the miraculous healing that saved his life and that led to Kateri’s canonization. This moving documentary film shows that no one is too simple, too poor or too young to give their lives to Christ, and that this woman, an outcast by her people because of her Catholic faith, whose face was badly scarred from smallpox and vision almost lost, is a true model for modern believers and a powerful source of grace and healing for all.

New Winter Films Catholics and the Culture War

Catholic apologist and radio host Tim Staples demonstrates how several minor “battles” over the last 65 years have led to us to where we are now… in a full-fledged war between two very different schools of thought when it comes to what society says is right... or wrong. It’s a vivid look at what America used to be like—and how dramatically we have changed. The good news is that we can turn this situation around. We can regain lost ground. We can win the battle for our culture. After watching Catholics and the Culture War, you will have a much clearer grasp of precisely what has gone wrong in American society, how we have been betrayed by our institutions of government, and how we can draw strength from our own Christian past and Catholic faith to overcome today’s challenges.

Chariots of Fire

ased on a true story, Chariots of Fire is the internationally acclaimed Oscar-winning drama for Best Picture of two very different men who compete as runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a serious Christian Scotsman, believes that he has to succeed as a testament to his undying religious faith. Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Englishman who wants desperately to be accepted and prove to the world that Jews are not inferior. The film crosscuts between each man’s life as he trains for the competition, fueled by these very different desires. Thrilling and compelling as the racing scenes are, it’s really the depth of the two main characters that touches the viewer, as they forcefully drive home the theme that victory attained through devotion, commitment, integrity, and sacrifice is the most admirable feat that one can achieve.

New Winter Films The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler

This is the compelling story of Polish Catholic social worker, Irena Sendler, one of the most remarkable, and unlikely, heroes of World War II, saving 2,500 Jewish children during the Nazi occupation of Poland. She led a group of compatriots who moved in and out of Warsaw’s Jewish Ghetto dressed as nurses employed by Warsaw’s Health Department. Realizing that thousands of children were in danger of sure death, Irena recruited sympathetic friends to help her smuggle children out and place them in safe homes, farms and convents. At great personal risk, she devised extraordinary schemes to sneak the children by Nazi guards, bringing them out in ambulances, suitcases and even wheelbarrows. Irena was eventually captured by the Gestapo, but even after months of torture, she maintained her silence. Her heroic efforts were honored by a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word • vol. iii

A Sense of the Sacred Roman Catholic Worship in the Middle Ages James Monti

Meditations on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis

T

his incomparable volume presents a comprehensive exploration and explanation of medieval liturgical celebrations. The reverent prayers, hymns and rubrics used in the Middle Ages are described in detail and interpreted through the commentary of scholars from the same time period, the era which is also known as the “Age of Faith”. Collected here is a wide range of ceremonies, encompassing the seven sacraments, the major feasts of the liturgical year (such as Christmas, Easter, and Corpus Christi), and special liturgical rites (from the coronation of the pope to the blessing of expectant mothers). The sacred celebrations have been drawn from countries across western and central Europe—from Portugal to Poland—but particular attention has been given to liturgical texts of medieval Spain, which until now have received relatively little attention from scholars. Historian James Monti has done exhaustive research on medieval liturgical manuscripts, early printed missals, and the writings of medieval liturgists and theologians so that the treasures they contain can inspire a sense of the sacred in future generations of Catholics.

T

o the unstudied eye, St. Matthew’s gospel can seem a terse narrative, almost a historical document and not the tremendously spiritual (and doctrinal) storehouse that it is. In his third volume of meditations on Matthew (chapters 19-25), Erasmo Leiva continues to show Matthew’s prose to be not terse so much as economical-astoundingly so given its depth. The lay reader can derive great profit from reading this. Each short meditation comments on a verse or two, pointing to some facet of the text not immediately apparent, but rich with meaning. Leiva’s work is scholarly but eminently approachable by the lay reader. The tone is very much of “taste and see how good the Lord is” and an invitation of “friend, come up higher!”. The goal of the book is to help the reader experience the heat of the divine heart and the light of the divine Word. Leiva comments on the Greek text, demonstrating nuances in the text that defy translation. He uses numerous quotes from the Fathers and the Liturgy of the Church to demonstrate the way the Tradition has lived and read the Word of God. His theological reflection vivifies doctrine by seeking its roots in the words and actions of Jesus.

“James Monti’s treatise is an astonishing achievement, a book that can and will shape a new generation of intellectuals who are serious about the Catholic liturgy. Despite the title, this book is not only about medieval liturgy. It’s about inspiring the creation of, and the provision of access to, truly sacred spaces in our time, even in a world that seems so barren of them.” Jeffrey Tucker, Managing Editor, Sacred Music

“This is a biblical commentary with scholarship and, above all, a prayerfulness that is a great gift to the Church. ” — Sr. Wendy Beckett, OCD Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, Ph.D., was formerly a Professor of Literature and Theology at the University of San Francisco. Now a Trappist monk, he is the author of Vols. 1 & 2 of Fire of Mercy, plus The Way of the Disciple and Love’s Sacred Order.

James Monti is an author and historian who has contributed numerous articles to Catholic publications, including the monthly missal Magnificat. His other books include The King’s Good Servant But God’s First: The Life & Writings of St. Thomas More, The Week of Salvation and In the Presence of Our Lord.

Contemplative Provocations

How NOT to Share Your Faith

Father Donald Haggerty

The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization Mark Brumley

A

great many religious people undertake, at least for a time, a serious dedication to prayer. They are moved by a longing for a deeper encounter with God, and the possibility of this beckons them as a distant light at night on the sea. Yet far fewer in number become true contemplative souls, for it is difficult to continue the quest for God in the face of many obstacles. For those who are spiritually courageous and full of desire for God, this book cannot but provoke them to begin or to persevere in this ultimate adventure in life—the more complete discovery of the living God. Thematically unified by the notion of God’s ultimate transcendence to our limited human knowledge, Contemplative Provocations offers a rich profusion of insights on the life of prayer and the pursuit of God. A key to spiritual growth is the understanding that the hiddenness of God becomes a paradox in the experience of a soul seeking him wholeheartedly. Rather than enjoying a more intimate familiarity with God, the soul advancing in prayer is likely to experience more intensely, more provocatively, the concealment of God. This surprising truth undergirds true contemplative prayer. It is a reason why every contemplative soul, and every saint, is inflamed with a never satisfied thirst for God.

C

atholic apologetics is bigger than ever. It’s everywhere. As a professional apologist, Mark Brumley sees this renaissance as an immensely good thing—an essential part of the Church’s evangelical mission. But often times untrained apologists can undermine arguments for the faith and drive people farther away from the truth. In How NOT to Share Your Faith: The Seven Deadly Sins of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization, Brumley describes seven of the most common and tragic mistakes he and other apologists have made over the years in their attempts to defend and explain the Catholic faith. More importantly, he reveals how you can avoid these mistakes and become far more effective at sharing your faith in a charitable way—even if that means losing an argument from time to time. “Mark Brumley is articulate, persuasive, balanced and sensible, and the spirit he brings to this marvelously readable, useful work demonstrates Catholic apologetics at its best.” Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia

“This is a masterful work. It contains a tremendous amount of very helpful spiritual advice.” Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J., Fordham University

“This book should be required reading for all amateur and professional Catholic apologists. It is genuinely useful and totally trustworthy.” Peter Kreeft, author, Handbook of Catholic Apologetics

“The work has the feel and style of a spiritual classic, and I hope it will be recognized as one.” Fr. John J. Coughlin, O.F.M., University of Notre Dame

Mark Brumley, a convert to Catholicism, has taught and lectured about the faith in a wide range of forums, including as an adjunct professor for the Institute for Pastoral Theology of Ave Maria University. He is the President of Ignatius Press.

Fr. Donald Haggerty, of the Archdiocese of New York, is a Professor of Moral Theology at the Capuchin Institute of Philosophy and Theology in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He previously taught at Saint Joseph’s Seminary in New York and Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Maryland. He is the editor of Modern Moral Problems, a collection of writings by Msgr. William B.

What is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense Robert George, Sherif Girgis, Ryan Anderson

U

ntil today, no society had seen marriage as anything other than a conjugal partnership: a male-female union. What Is Marriage? identifies and defends the reasons for this historic consensus and shows why redefining civil marriage is unnecessary, unreasonable, and contrary to the common good. This book’s core argument has already been cited and debated by scholars and activists throughout the world as the most formidable defense of the tradition ever written. It stands poised to meet its moment as few books of this generation have. Rhodes Scholar Sherif Girgis, Heritage Foundation Fellow Ryan Anderson, and Princeton Professor Robert George offer a devastating critique of the idea that equality requires redefining marriage. They show why both sides must first answer the question of what marriage really is. They defend the principle that marriage, as a comprehensive union of mind and body ordered to family life, unites a man and a woman as husband and wife, and they document the social value of applying this principle in law. Most compellingly, they show that those who embrace same-sex civil marriage leave no firm ground—none—for not recognizing every relationship describable in polite English, including polyamorous sexual unions, and that enshrining their view would further erode the norms of marriage, and hence the common good.

Saint Barbara Convert & Martyr of the Early Church

I

Religious Mysteries Volume One

n 303 A.D., Barbara is the beautiful, twenty-yearold daughter of Dioscoro, the Roman governor during a time of fierce Christian persecution. Barbara is a pagan, but when Giuliana, a slave raised alongside her almost like a sister, is condemned to death for her Christian faith, Barbara rebels. She valiantly attempts to save Giuliana, as well as other Christians being persecuted, boldly protesting to her father and other government leaders. When that fails, Barbara makes a daring plan for the successful escape from prison of her Christian friends. Saint Barbara is also the story of her profound love for Claudio, the noble Roman soldier whose life she saves, as well as her deep compassion for all afflicted humanity. The courageous and holy witness of her Christian friends inspires her to convert to their religion, a decision which will eventually cost Barbara her life. Before her death, Barbara discovers she has journeyed down the same path as her mother, who was taken from her as a child for having made the same choice, to become a Christian, which had never been told to Barbara as she was growing up. Barbara is the victim of many acts of cruelty in the last period of her life. The serenity with which she overcomes such barbarity can only be attributed to her new faith in Christ, which gives her the strength necessary to face the most difficult trials and to forgive her persecutors. Set in the Empire Studios, reproducing ancient Rome, Saint Barbara recreates authentic atmosphere and a realistic sense of the the time period, mingling historical and some fictional characters. Starring Vanessa Hessler, Thomas Trabacchi, Massimo Wertmuller and Simone Montedoro. In Italian with English and Spanish subtitles. SBAB-M . . . 100 min, $19.95

The Pope and the nun never met in person, and yet their stories are so profoundly intertwined that they significantly marked the entire pontificate of Karol Wojtyla, who established the feast of Divine Mercy and died on the eve of that feast in 2005. The Lost Ark Journey to Ethiopia in search of the Ark of the Covenant carried, according to legend, from Jerusalem to Axum by Menelik, son of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. For many centuries the Ethiopians have claimed to have this most soughtafter relic in history, housed in the Church of Our Lady of Zion in Axum, and how they carefully guard it from the world because it is such a sacred and mysterious object. Hear the testimony of an Italian architect who, on entering the sacred building to inspect a damaged section, claims to have seen and photographed the Ark. RM:1-M . . . 150 minutes, $24.95

Recently Released Padre Pro

Blessed Miguel Pro: Martyr of Mexico

This movie is the inspiring story of the famous Father Miguel Pro, S.J., who was executed in Mexico in 1927 for the crime of being a Catholic priest. This young Jesuit spent most of his short life in the priesthood dodging the Mexican police as he ministered to the underground Church during the Mexican Revolution. Fr. Pro’s quick wit and keen sense of humor were put to good use as he pedaled around Mexico City on his bicycle in various disguises, en route to administering the Sacraments, giving spiritual talks or begging food and money for the poor. But behind the disguises beat the heart of a saint—as the Mexican people testified by turning out in throngs to pay their last respects after his martyrdom. Fr. Pro offered his life for the Catholic Faith and his last words on this earth were: “Viva Cristo Rey”—Long live Christ the King! This powerful movie makes history come alive and highlights the dramatic conflict between the Church and her enemies that continues even to this day. An inspiring film for the whole family, this is an incredible true story of a modern Catholic hero who proclaimed both in life and death the reign of Christ the King. In Spanish with English subtitles.

The Fugitive

When director John Ford and actor Henry Fonda collaborate, audiences know they are in for a powerful screen experience. To such films as The Grapes of Wrath, My Darling Clementine and Fort Apache add this brave, unsparing, magnificently lensed (by Mexico’s Gabriel Figueroa) work. Based on Graham Greene’s novel The Power and the Glory, the story follows a priest (Fonda) in Latin America pursued by a ruthless police lieutenant carrying out the dictates of an oppressive, anti-clerical government. There’s another fugitive as well: an American killer on the run—and the paths of the two hunted men cross with fateful consequences. A haunting paean to the resilience of faith, The Fugitive remains a filmmaking triumph.

rom the Producer of For Greater Glory, this is a beautiful, animated story about the power and impact of the grace of God, and of unseen spiritual influences and events, in our lives, especially in Church during our participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It focuses on three characters and their guardian angels, and how we all have the freedom to choose to do good or evil, to pray, and the consequences from our choices. It shows the great spiritual power of the sacrament of Confession, and beautifully reveals the meaning and importance of each aspect of the Mass, our greatest prayer and miracle, through which we share in such close “communion” with almighty God by receiving Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

hat price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic For Greater Glory an impassioned group of men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and the very future of their country, as the film’s adventure unfolds against the long-hidden, true story of the 1920s Cristero War: t­he daring people’s revolt that rocked 20th Century North America. Academy Award® nominee Andy Garcia headlines an acclaimed cast as General Gorostieta, the retired military man who at first thinks he has nothing personal at stake as he and his wife (Golden Globe winner Eva Longoria) watch Mexico fall into a violent civil war. Yet the man who hesitates in joining the cause will soon become the resistance’s most inspiring and self-sacrificing leader, as he begins to see the cost of religious persecution on his countrymen . . . and transforms a rag-tag band of rebels into a heroic force to be reckoned with. The General faces impossible odds against a powerful and ruthless government. Yet it is those he meets on the journey; ­youthful idealists, feisty renegades and, most of all, one remarkable teenager named José who reveal to him how courage and belief are forged even when justice seems lost.

Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah—unscripted—collapses in front of the stunned audience.

God’s Mighty Servant Sister Pascalina Lehnert, Secretary of Pius XII

T

his is the amazing story of Sister Pascalina Lehnert (1894-1983) who was the personal confidant and secretary to Pope Pius XII for 40 years. In 1918, the young nun Pascalina is sent to Munich to be the housekeeper of the new Papal Nuncio, Eugenio Pacelli. Though they seem to have little in common, Pacelli becomes impressed by Pascalina’s directness, zeal and alertness. But when he is appointed Cardinal Secretary of State in 1929, Pacelli moves to Vatican City—where women are forbidden to live. Pascalina is missed, and she is invited to work in the Vatican—the first woman ever to do so. At the outbreak of war, Pacelli is elected Pope and becomes Pius XII. As the war tears Europe apart, the Pope puts his life, and the papacy itself, on the line by opposing the Nazis and fascists. Thanks to the fearlessness of Rome’s clergy and the tirelessness of Pascalina, he manages to save the lives of many Roman Jews. Sister Pascalina remains at the Pope’s side until his death in 1958—God’s mighty servant to the end. Starring Christine Neubauer, Remo Girone, Wilfried Hochholdinger, Renato Scarpa.

Recent media stories and certain best-selling books have alerted the public to alternative writings about Jesus, leading many people—including many believers—to wonder why we should consider only the four New Testament gospels as “gospel truth.” The alternative writings about Jesus bear the names of such prominent early Christians as Peter, Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Judas, James, and Andrew. Are these works “lost gospels” or “false gospels”?
