May 12, 2019 - Mother’s Day - No Film May 19, 2019 - “The Bridge on the River Kwai” 1957 (2HR 41Min) This movie deals with the situation of British prisoners of war during World War II who are ordered to build a bridge to accommodate the Burma-Siam railway. Their instinct is to sabotage the bridge, but under the leadership of Colonel Nicholson, they are persuaded that the bridge should be constructed as a symbol of British morale, spirit, and dignity in adverse circumstances. Unknown to him, the Allies have sent a mission into the jungle, led by Warden and an American, Shears, to blow up the bridge.

May 26, 2019 - MeMorial Day weekenD - No Film June 2, 2019 - “Life for Life”: Martyr of Auschwitz 1991 (1HR 40Min) The story of Catholic St. Maximilian Kolbe. Two great mysteries hover over the cardinal moment in his life. The first mystery is why an uncondemned prisoner stepped forward to ask to be permitted to die in place of a condemned one. The second is why the deputy camp commander, a monster named Karl Fritzsch, consented to this extraordinary request.

Witnessing to the Good News of Jesus Christ can be fraught with danger, but we can be assured that we will be victorious if we heed the voice of the Good Shepherd. In the First Reading, we hear of Paul and Barnabas’ missionary work in Antioch of Pisidia. We see that their message is not well received by some of their Jewish brethren, which provides the context for their declaration that God has sent them to be a light to the Gentiles. Persecuted and expelled from the region, they move on in joyful confidence that their mission has been inspired by God. A word of caution: we should not take Luke’s words as a condemnation of Judaism. Rather, he was simply trying to give a reason for why the Good News spread beyond its original boundaries to the rest of the world. The Second Reading provides a commentary on John’s vision of a great multitude of people in white robes—a symbol of victory—carrying palm branches, typically used to greet kings returning from battle. An elder informs him the people are the martyrs who endured the great persecution. God now shelters them and the Lamb shepherds them. In today’s Gospel, Jesus assures his followers and warns his detractors by saying that he knows his sheep and they know him. His sheep hear his voice and, because he gives them eternal life, no one can harm them ever. What do you think it means that Paul and Barnabas

“shook the dust from their feet”? How does Jesus’ unity with the Father affect us? Offer a prayer of gratitude to God for leading you

to life-giving water.
