What does it look like to give your life completely to God? This week’s FORMED selections offer three very different answers through sacrifice, Scripture, and lives shaped by the Gospel.
This week’s featured programs include:
Triumph of the Heart brings viewers into the final days of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Imprisoned at Auschwitz, the Polish priest volunteered to take the place of another prisoner who had been condemned to death. The film focuses on the extraordinary love and courage that allowed Kolbe to bring hope into one of history’s darkest places.
For those looking to dig deeper into Scripture, The New Eve begins the Lectio: Mary series by tracing the story of salvation from Genesis to Christ. The episode explores the Catholic understanding of Jesus as the New Adam and Mary as the New Eve, helping viewers see connections between the Old and New Testaments that can easily be missed.
Clare and Francis turns to two young people who chose a radically different path from the one their society expected. The film tells the intertwined stories of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare of Assisi, their friendship, their religious communities, and their shared desire to live the Gospel with simplicity and joy.
A dramatic story of sacrifice, a Scripture study, and a historical film make this week’s selections especially varied. Choose one that interests you, or make some time for all three.
Our parish subscription provides access to these programs and thousands of other Catholic movies, studies, documentaries, talks, and family programs. Visit FORMED and select St. Justin Martyr Parish to begin watching.
