St Maria Soledad
Our Price: $19.95

Now Jan is not just fleeing the Nazis, but also from his guilt for his involvement in Kolbe's death. He goes to visit Niepokalanów, a very large Franciscan monastery where Fr. Kolbe had been the founder and superior. There Jan wants to learn what were the motives behind his decision to die for another prisoner, a complete stranger. Though free from Auschwitz, Jan will continue to be confronted by the life and death of Maximilian Kolbe wherever he goes.

In addition to Jan - torn between wanting to forget and a fascination with Kolbe - another key character emerges, Brother Anselm. He is a devout young Franciscan priest who quietly but strongly witnesses to Kolbe's heroic faith and love, and then rejoices at the Beatification of Kolbe by Pope Paul VI. Later Kolbe will be canonized by his fellow countryman, Pope John Paul II, who proclaimed Kolbe as the "patron saint of the difficult 20th century".

This acclaimed film was directed by Krzystof Zanussi, and stars Christoph Waltz and Edward Zentara in powerful performances.

In Polish, with English and Spanish subtitles.

This new movie tells the inspiring story of the beginnings of the Sister Servants of Mary, a religious order that was founded in Madrid, Spain in 1851 by Fr. Miguel Martinez and Sister Maria Soledad who guided it in its development and expansion until her death in 1887.

The new order was dedicated to serving the sick, especially in their own homes. It was a providential foundation because Spain at the time was devastated by epidemics, revolutions, the fierce massacre of religious, and by politics which were constantly opposed to the teachings of Christ and his Church. Assistance to the sick in their homes, never done before, was therefore all the more necessary.

Mother Soledad was like an expert pilot, who directed the course of the new congregation with calmness and efficiency, amid the frightening storms. During this challenging time she gave proof of her exquisite tact, her great courage and her untiring charity, as well as her humility and meekness with which she won the deep love of her daughters. God sent many vocations to her congregation, and Saint Maria dedicated herself to their spiritual formation, inspiring them with a burning charity towards God and the sick.

Always united to God, Mother Soledad relied entirely on his Divine Providence for the protection and growth of her new order. She suffered many misunderstandings and persecutions within her order and in society while giving her wholehearted service to the sick. She died October 11, 1887, and was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970. Today there are 1,500 sisters in her order in 110 convents around the world, including several in the United States. In English and Spanish languages. Included English subtitles

This biographical drama tells the true story of Pedro Poveda (1874 – 1936), a tenacious and innovative priest who opened new paths in education and pioneered the rights of women in the early twentieth century. A victim of intolerance, he was murdered at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. In 1974 he was awarded the title of "Educator and Humanist" by UNESCO, and was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2003.

Poveda's successs in educating and promoting poor illiterate children living in the Caves of Guadix in Southern Spain received staunch opposition. He had to move to Covadonga, in the Northern mountains. There he started a new Christian movement focused on educational opportunities for women, with the help of young women, which became the Teresian Association that continues his work today. For its development & growth he relied on young Pepita Segovia, one of the first women of her time to receive a university degree in education.

Poveda continued his work in spite of the social and political turmoil that intensified in the beginning of the thirties and escalated into a civil war. Caught in the middle of the conflict, Poveda, a man of peace and dialogue, gave his life for his faith, leaving behind a legacy of light and hope.

“Voight is quite extraordinary. Besides doing a spot-on impersonation of Pope John Paul’s public persona, he ages most convincingly... It’s a heart wrenching portrayal. Pope Benedict XVI attended the world premiere screening and at the conclusion blessed the miniseries - the ultimate endorsement!”
—Harry Forbes, Catholic News Service
“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
"Although shot on a lavish scale in Italy, Poland and elsewhere, 'Pope John Paul II' succeeds on intimate terms even when troops are marching or huge crowds are filling St. Peter's Square, and Elwes and Voight are largely responsible. The movie is honestly and actually about something... It's the ability to instill joy in human hearts, and the film not only celebrates it but, in its finest moments, even possesses it."
—The Washington Post
"Voight stands out... he closely mirrors our image of the pope as a person: that mix of majesty and humility, humor and steel."
—USA Today
"Writer-director John Kent Harrison wisely finds a narrative focus... as the pope stares down the unraveling Soviets hoping to help free his native Poland. More than anything, Voight's performance... taps into John Paul's emotional life... it's a remarkable performance."
—Variety
"Succeeds brilliantly... it does reveal why most of those who criticized [Pope John Paul II] also loved him."
—Pittsburg Post-Gazette
"Elwes... deftly depicts the internal struggle that finally drove Wojtyla to be trained for the priesthood. [This film] understands the importance of taking the time to see Pope John Paul II as a fully rounded human being as opposed to a hollow icon."
—Seattle Post-Intelligencer
How does a plot that involves the assassination attempts of a President Reagan and Pope John Paul II, KGB scheming, and CIA intrigue become the final act to topple the Soviet Empire?
The Divine Plan dives deep into the pivotal bond between Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan. Just six weeks apart in the spring of 1981, the pope and the president took bullets from would-be assassins. Surviving strikingly similar near-death experiences, they confided to each other a shared conviction: that God had spared their lives for the purpose of defeating communism.
This film takes viewers behind the scenes of an unlikely partnership that changed the world, asking daring questions… Was a pontiff and politician’s work of overthrowing communism the result of inexorable political and economic forces, or could it have been part of what Reagan called, “The Divine Plan”? Told in part as a graphic thriller this highly-stylized motion picture film pushes beyond the bounds of conventional documentary-making into a world where one’s faith in God might determine the real facts.
The Divine Plan draws on the film’s exclusive interviews with renowned historians, scholars, journalists, and church officials including well-known historians Paul Kengor, Douglas Brinkley, H.W. Brands, Anne Applebaum, John O’Sullivan, Craig Shirley, major John Paul II biographer George Weigel, close Reagan adviser Richard V. Allen, leading churchmen Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Bishop Robert Barron.

DVD Special Features:
Making of the Film with Dr. Paul Kengor and Robert Orlando – 28 minutes
Conversation on the Theo-Dramatic Story of the Film with Bishop Robert Barron – 20 minutes

The story of St. Paul, who was transformed from the most infamous persecutor of Christians to one of Christ's most influential apostles. Paul is spending his last days in a dark and bleak prison cell awaiting execution by Emperor Nero. Luke, his friend and physician, risks his life when he ventures into Rome to visit him.

Paul is under the watchful eye of Mauritius, the prison's prefect, who seeks to understand how this broken old man can pose such a threat. But before Paul's death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of "The Way" and the birth of what will come to be known as the Christian church. Their faith challenged an empire. And their words changed the world.

Starring Jim Caviezel, James Faulkner, Olivier Martinez, John Lynch and Joanne Whalley.

Bonus Materials Include:

  • Deleted Scenes: Two deleted scenes, "Crucifying The Servants of God" and "Followers of The Way," portraying Saul's life as a persecutor of Christians.
