Our friends at Outside da Box and Likability have once again produced an excellent video in service of the faith. "That 1 Day" helps us to understand why that fateful day so many years ago, the day in which a supposedly ordinary man died as a criminal, is so important...
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...
Today's video offers a brief and condensed explanation of Holy Week, a time in the liturgical calendar very rich in meaning and symbols. It is important that we continue to deepen the meaning and the reality behind these symbols. This Holy Week, we are invited to...
To go to Mass, to enter into a moment of prayer, to say the name of “Jesus,” to meditate upon his death and resurrection, what does it all really mean? Is it just a routine, a family tradition, a myth, a joke? Is there anything real behind it? Nominated "Best...
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...
“It is the story of God’s love!” These were the words of my religion teacher, uttered when she was introducing us to the Bible. The truth in her words, thirty years later, I still unpack in the infinite treasury that is the Bible. Indeed, God created men and women out...
Father, you want me to be what? A Eucharistic minister? Oh no, Father, I am not worthy! There were my responses – thirteen years ago – when my parish priest approached me to consider serving the People of God as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist (the more...
Mother Angelica shares with us about the power of the Eucharist. Do you take the time to devote yourself to Jesus in the Eucharist every day? Let her words inspire you too! “If you want to be holy, if you seek meaning in your life, start looking into your own life and...
Today’s video is an excellent production by CRU Global. It’s a flying 4 minutes that leads us through a series of metaphors that represent the basic stages of salvation history: creation, the fall, Christ’s coming and Resurrection, and our salvation. I find the...
This video expresses an all too overlooked truth, that just because someone claims to be Catholic it does not mean that they actually are one. A girl is taken into a court room, convicted of being Catholic. After being questioned and insisting that she is Catholic,...
The next video in the Advent Avalanche is Igniter Media’s Social Network Christmas, which uses a facebook-style format to tell the Christmas story through the news feeds of Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth and Zechariah, with cameo appearances from the Emperor Augustus and...
At this time of year we are bombarded with so many commercials by those who want to sell us all the ingredients for a perfect Christmas – lots of food and a multitude of gifts. How many of these commercials have Christmas carols in the background? When we stop and...
The video invites us to take a deeper look at the authenticity of our faith. Ryan is living a life of severe inconsistency. He tells us a testimony about his life as a “Christian”. Yet we see that his relationship with God is almost non-existent. Nothing in his heart...
A fun and animated video that presents two very different views of what the Advent season is all about. It was released by Xt3.com. As always, I encourage that when we see these videos, we watch them not just for ourselves, rather that we understand them as an...
Call everything “special,” and shortly it will begin to mean “ordinary.” Say that you love everything, and soon people will believe that you really love nothing. But does it really matter what you call things? What changes in the end? An interesting exercise is...
Here's an illustrative video on happiness. It's simple and well done. It could be useful for starting a conversation on the type of "formulas" we find in our lives and then comparing them with what Christ teaches. A few thoughts that I would add to the video's...
Ignitermedia.com released another cool video that offers a glimpse at the life and passion of Christ seen through the dynamic lens of a 21st-century social network. I think the video's idea is very original and is worth sharing. Sometimes the 2000 year gap between the...
This video, produced by getoutthebox.org, struck me as simple and impressively creative. It goes to the heart of the matter asking, "What would happen if we decided to revolutionize our generation?" What would happen if we traded in selfishness and took up a radical...
A reflection on Justin Bieber's Testimony: What makes someone an artist? Many think that to be a truly famous and influential artist you can't share any personal beliefs that go against the "politically correct" grain. Even the deepest convictions need to pass through...
