Draw and Tell: Saints is a memorable way to share the amazing lives of these holy men and women! As you read a story, you draw a line, put in a squiggle, add a swirl. (The book tells you when and how!) By the end of the story, your final picture shows a symbol of that person. No artistic talent is needed. (Really!) Younger children have fun guessing what that final symbol will be. Older ones enjoy drawing along with the storyteller/illustrator. Saints/Blesseds include: Archangels, Blase, Damien of Molokai, Elizabeth Ann Seton, Francis of Assisi, Joan of Arc, John the Baptist, Joseph, Juan Diego, Julie Billiart, Kateri Tekakwitha, Katharine Drexel, Mark, Nicholas, Patrick, Peter Claver, Therese of Lisieux.

This is the acclaimed feature film made in France in 1959 that tells the story of the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the most popular saint of modern times, from childhood through her death as a Carmelite nun at age 24. The youngest daughter in an upper middle class, devout and loving family, Thérèse developed a deep spiritual life as a child while she struggled greatly with the early death of her mother, the departure of her beloved sisters to the convent, and a very serious, life-threatening illness as she sought to give her life to God with an earnest desire to enter Carmel as a teenager. After appealing directly to the Pope for this unusual entrance into Carmel she was accepted into the Carmelites at fifteen, and lived an exemplar life of faith, prayer, sacrifice and love, dying at the age of only twenty-four in 1897. She was canonized a saint in 1925. This movie offers unique numerous glimpses into Thérèse's Little Way of spiritual childhood, (her unique spirituality that helped make her a Doctor of the Church) including situations of conflict between Thérèse and her superior regarding her conviction of striving for perfection in the little things with great confidence and trust in the mercy and love of God.

This film reveals the incessant illness and suffering that St. Bernadette patiently, even cheerfully, endured throughout her life in the convent, often repeating her prayer "to suffer and offer it to God."

Power Of Faith: The Powerful Film Of Pope John Paul II

DV

Prelude Worldwide Ministries 2005 30596

The story of the "flying friar," St. Joseph of Cupertino, is a heart-warming and amazing true story of the humble Franciscan friar who received the gift of levitation during prayer. In the impoverished village of seventeenth-century Cupertino, Italy, Joseph's peasant mother convinces the reluctant abbot to accept her uneducated son into the monastery. Despite his frequent mishaps and his seeming inability to learn anything beyond the simple tasks of the stable hand, Joseph gains the support of the kindly local bishop who sees in him a great deal more than others. By a series of miraculous incidents, the simple but deeply pious Joseph is ordained a priest. For some in the monastery, it takes the miracle of Joseph's levitation to convince them that it is the not the devil, but God, who is at work in Joseph. In the end, the humble friar earns the esteem of those who had previously ridiculed him. (Spanish and English subtitles)

This film dramatized the many challenges that Don Bosco, the great priest and educator of youth from the tough streets of Turin, Italy, had to overcome from his childhood through founding his religious order, the Salesians. Growing up without a father gave him compassion for the many orphans that he cared for, while he faced persecution from both secular society and the Church as he fought to build a place to house and educate the homeless, outcast youth of Turin. His deep faith, creative imagination and profound charity shine though in this drama. (Italian with English or Spanish subtitles, or English dubbed track)

Saint John Bosco: Mission To Love

DV

Famous as the patron saint of hopeless situations, St. Rita of Cascia is immortalized in this moving film about this beautiful woman who lived in Italy in the fourteenth century. This powerful story combines high drama, great love, deep betrayal, senseless tragedy, profound forgiveness and strong faith as it tells the story of this brave woman who married her knight, helped him overcome his dark past and convert to the faith, bore him two children, and later endures immense pain as she loses everything. She finds peace and new hope with the help of a convent of nuns and develops a deep union with Christ that greatly inspires all who are near her.

It is an idea inspired by Pope John Paul II. "Be the saints of the new millennium," he told us; but before we can be saints, we need to know the saints. This was the inspiration for a pilgrimage through Germany and Italy, visiting the towns, homes, and places of prayer for some saints of the Catholic Church. Join this unforgettable pilgrimage and meet Saint Peter, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, Blessed Rupert Mayer, Saint Edith Stein, Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare of Assisi, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, and Blessed John XXIII. Share in a new and very personal way, and open your own heart to the possibility of becoming a saint of the new millennium.

Thérèse recounts the life of Thérèse of Lisieux, the most popular saint of modern times. A bourgeois girl from a Victorian French family, Thérèse journeyed to Rome to beg Pope Leo XIII for permission to enter the Carmelite monastery at the unheard-of age of fifteen. Through the rigors of monastic life, she made the surprising yet simple discovery that holiness can be achieved by small acts of love and compassion--a spiritual path she called her "Little Way." This film is a beautiful retreat into the world of a remarkable young girl who fell in love with God. A drama of tragedy and triumph, Thérèse presents the true story of an ordinary girl with an extraordinary soul. (Closed

Which would be a good symbol for a corporal / spiritual work of mercy? Which beatitude does this photo best represent? If you were making a PowerPoint presentation on the Creed, which of these would you use as a background image behind each segment of text? If you were creating a collage on the life of Saint (provide a name), which photos would you use? Which photo most shows where a stronger outpouring of one of the gifts / fruits of the Holy Spirit would be helpful? Choose one photo to explain an application of each of the Ten Commandments. Explain how each photo might depict one of the seven virtures / vices. How does each photo show one of the doctrines of Catholic Social Teaching being lived or not lived?
