Canticle of the Sun
Fiona French
Inspired by Byzantine art, acclaimed artist Fiona French presents twelve mosaic tableaux that light up a sparkling translation of the canticle. The hymn is a beautiful poem, and a profound prayer, touching on the incredible beauty of God’s creation, but also the profound meaning and importance of how we give praise to God when we forgive.

But I Have Called You Friends
Mother Mary Francis, PCC
In these gentle, simple, yet profound conferences, Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C., explores both the necessity and the difficulty of Christian friendship.
Friendship is the basis of all fruitful love, she wrote. Whether we are single or married, priest or religious, the Lord himself called us his friends and commanded us to be the friends of one another.

Saint Francis of Assisi
Ivan Gorby
He has inspired countless films, paintings, poems and novels. But who was Francesco Bernadone, now known as Saint Francis of Assisi? Despite the wealth of writing on the life of this great saint, many still don’t know the man. They know the legend: a Francis made palatable to modern sensibilities -— the happy friar who carols to the birds and writes poems to the sun and moon. This is the image of the saint that is usually presented, even though it fails to encompass the true personality of Francis.

The Catholic Church and Conversion
G.K. Chesterton

The Grunt Padre
The Servant of God - Fr. Vincent Capodanno
Fr. Daniel L. Mode

The Staircase
The Staircase, based on the real legend of the "miraculous stairway" at the Sisters of Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico is an inspirational, life-affirming drama of hope and faith. Mother Madalyn's (Barbara Hershey) last wish is that her beloved chapel be completed. However when local carpenters built the chapel, they neglected to erect stairs up to the choir loft, and due to the chapel's construction, adding a staircase is now impossible. The arrival of Joad (William Petersen), may be the answer to Mother Madalyn's prayers.

Sophie Scholl
In 1943, a group of college students mount an underground resistance movement in Munich dedicated to the downfall of the monolithic Third Reich war machine. One of its few female members, Sophie Scholl is captured during a dangerous mission. Her cross-examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless. Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film.

Hidden Places
Widowed with two children and beginning to lose her faith, Eliza Watt (Emmy-nominated Sydney Penny) must bring in the harvest before the bank forecloses on her family’s home. Just when things can’t get any worse, fate brings along hope in the form of Gabe Harper (Jason Gedrick of Windfall), a handsome, down-on-his-luck veteran. Together Eliza and Gabe overcome the odds to save Wyatt Orchard with the help of stubborn but lovable Aunt Batty (Academy Award winner Shirley Jones).
