" When the time was come when you were going to glorify him, as he had loved his own who were in the world, he loved to the end "(Eucharistic Prayer IV).
The Passion of Christ is deeply moving depiction of the last twelve hours of Jesus' life since his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to his death on the cross ... I had the privilege of attending a few weeks ago a preview of the film. This is a visually impressive and a great spiritual depth. The film (in Aramaic, Hebrew and Latin - subtitled in English or French) is meant in all faithful to the Gospels, to Tradition and history.
A warning for sensitive hearts: the film is very brutal, very explicit violence (R/17ans listed in the U.S.). We do not view this film, we experienced! I personally believe that this work is a grace for our time. I came out with a greater love and reverence to Our Lord with these words to heart: "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Mt 5, 9). Treat yourself for Lent 2005, a prayer time on DVD!
