Outside da Box releases a video dealing with the afterlife. While it's not a very popular subject– that is when it isn't being ridiculed or reduced to a simply sentimental matter– how we understand the event called death and what follows after it is extremely...
"The Eucharist & You" is another ODB films production. The main character, Jimmy, is the typical "All American Kid", and, in fact, proposes the typical "ideal life". Most conceptions of the ideal "American" life don't tend to include the Eucharist, much...
he "Daily Grovo" offers an interesting video dealing with our fascination with multitasking and efficiency. It's an exaggerated representation that draws our attention to some of the same thoughts and habits that we display in...
Zach Sobiech is a 17-year-old diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. With only months to live, Zach turned to music to say goodbye. His life offers a powerful testimony of what it means to appreciate the beauty of bringing smiles to other's faces, to...
This video is a compilation of scenes recorded in Russia by various car-installed cameras. In the last few years, the use of these dash-cams has dramatically increased there. As such, we have been able to see some really amazing videos: such as a plane that...
"A profound microcosm of life, in 4 minutes..." Today's video, produced by the group Everyone Matters, invites us to take a look into the world of those around us. Everyone we pass by each day has a story. How often do we stop to listen to what they have to say? A...
Over the years there have been many adaptations of the monumental work of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. These include a musical adaptation originally presented in 1980 in France, which later was translated into several languages. The major motion picture we are...
Igniter Media shared a video titled the "March of the Unqualified." It tries to respond to the thought: "God can't use me or at least shouldn't use me." This is an idea that we've probably all had at some point. However, studying the Bible shows us that many flawed...
Hello, friends! In the spirit of celebrating our faith, for the next two weeks, I will be setting aside my work on the website in order to accompany a group on the Way of St. James. Together with Rome and Jerusalem, walking the path towards the Cathedral of Santiago...
Love brings us this video that presents a project called Real Beauty Sketches. The idea is to help women reassess the way they see themselves. It is a simple yet extremely clever idea. I think the video could be very useful for any female audience....
#Fallingplates is a video produced by the Christian agency, CRU Global. During its 4-minute duration – which seems to pass by in a glimpse of an eye – the production uses a series of metaphoric images through which leads us along the path of mankind: creation, sin,...
When you look at yourself what to do you see? Is your gaze one of love and truth, or judgment and despair? Do you understand the significance of God’s mercy? Or, have you rejected it from your heart? The video tries to tap into the drama of every human heart that...
An impressive video that draws an analogy between the process that the wood must undergo in order to be formed and our own process to be made into a new creation in Christ. It is Christ himself who lays down the path before us by his example on the Cross, manifesting...
In watching this beautiful video, one fundamental idea came to me: Christ wants my heart. All that He did and continues to do is in hopes that I will allow him to truly enter into the core of my being, to allow his life to enter into mine and to make it full, to...
Today's video speaks to us, above all, through its simplicity. The Passion of Christ, an event celebrated and remembered in so many forms, enriched with symbols, meditations, and music, was in itself very simple. The symbols were all too real: a hammer and a few...
Pope Francis has reminded us of a fundamental truth: there is no Christianity without the Cross. Daily, we are presented with the temptation of St. Peter: Lord, “I will follow you, but let us not speak of the Cross; I will follow you on other terms, but without the...

The story of the prodigal son is much more than a parable told long ago. It is a drama that is lived out in each one of our lives. It continues to speak, to open hearts, and to change lives because it portrays our daily drama with shocking clarity and uncovers those...
This short film, Perfection, tells the story of a woman who is taught to play the game ‘Perfection’ while still a baby. She has 60 seconds to place 25 small, differently shaped pieces into their corresponding holes. We see her as a toddler, a little girl, a teenager,...
The video that we are presenting is called "Defining a Prodigy." It is an excellent reflection about the existing richness of each individual person and the importance of discovering one's own vocation. We've asked some fellow Catholics to give you perspective on how...
In this video, we see an unbelievable witness to the power of self giving love. Through the sacrifice of this couple not only to one another but to the children outside of what would commonly be considered their, "circle"... they have enriched the beauty of their...
When was the last time that you were honest, truly honest? How many of us keep holding onto that delusional aspiration of a safe and comfortable relationship built on external smiles, hollow dialogues, and cheesy silence-fillers. Isn’t it obvious that it is destined...
In today's video, 22-year-old film producer Brian Ivee undertakes a new documentary "The Drop Box." It recounts the story of a South Korean Pastor Lee Jongrak who decided to do something about the hundreds of unwanted babies that are abandoned on the streets of Seoul,...
The desert experience is one in which Christ lives out to the extreme the question: what is truly important in life? We too must ask ourselves this question. How many times do we invest our time, our efforts, our worries in things that really don’t matter? What is...
There’s no doubt that our Holy Father’s decision has brought forth a wave of doubts, confusion, mixed emotions, and perhaps sadness as well. Today, together with an interesting commentary by Fr. Robert Barron on Pope Benedict XVI's legacy, we would like to offer some...
