Have a Blessed St. Patrick’s Day!

Ave Maria!

This is a new high quality feature length movie of the life of St. Bernadette that has an interesting twist. All the actors are kids! It is professionally produced by Navis Films which is starting a whole new genre of films called “Children’s Cinema”.

Here is an excerpt from their website:

Just a very quick word about our purpose:

Western Civilization is declining, our culture is crumbling, and it will be up to our children and our children’s children to help save it. The arts comprise a hugely influential component of that culture. If we can inspire one child to take up a career in those arts, and to create stunning beauty so as to lift men’s souls toward God, and in doing so glorify Him, we will have succeeded. To that end we are creating an entirely new genre of film: Children’s Cinema. St. Bernadette of Lourdes features a cast of over 100 mostly home-schooled, Catholic children ranging from 3 to 17 years of age. We are certain that the benefits of this unique experience will extend far beyond its cast and their families. It has been my experience with our other films, and with the extremely successful Glory Stories audio series which I created with Ken Davison of Holy Heroes, that kids love hearing and watching other kids perform. I’m sure you and your kids will absolutely love this film, and the other projects we will be bringing to market within the next few months.

God bless you, and thank you for visiting Navis Pictures.

In Christ,
- Jim Morlino
President, Navis Pictures

Interestingly, some of these kids regularly come with their parents to our friary here in Griswold, CT. Enjoy…

In ieiunio et fletu orabant sacerdotes: parce Domine populo tuo, et ne des hereditatem tuam in perditionem. Inter vestibulum et altare plorabant sacerdotes dicentes: Parce populo tuo.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Fasting and weeping, the priests shall pray: Spare thy people, Lord, and give not thy heritage over to destruction. Between the porch and altar, the priests shall pray: Spare thy people. Hear my prayer, O Lord
and let my crying come unto thee.

Derelinquit impius viam suam, et vir iniquus cogitationes suas, et reveratur ad Dominum, et miserebitur eius: quia benignus at misericors est, et praestabilis super malitia, Dominus Deus noster.

The wicked man forsakes his ways, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him: for the Lord our God is gracious and merciful, and ever ready to relent when he threatens disaster.

On our trip for the March for Life in 2009, Father Angelo Mary Geiger, brought us to this beautiful Monastery.  It is a must see if you ever visit D.C.. It is the closest place to the Holy Land we have here.  The interior along with the grounds of the Monastery are beautiful.

Ave Maria! This is Part Two that continues from yesterday’s post on the FI’s in Italy and their “Field School” that they hold each year with youth in the majestic Italian Alps.

Ave Maria! This one is by the FI’s in Italy about their “Field School” that they hold each year with youth in the majestic Italian Alps. The beautiful footage is set to music with Italian titles. Perhaps we will come up with a version with English titles, but really, the imagery says it all. Part 2 will be tomorrow.

From the Wake Up Call CD, Angelina actually recorded this version when she was 12 years old. The Music Video was shot, very early in the morning, in Italy on the Meditteranean approximately 3 years
