Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
“By being born in a manger, God himself launches the only true revolution that can
give hope and dignity to the disinherited and the outcast:
the revolution of love, the revolution of tenderness.”
“From the manger, Jesus proclaims, in a meek yet powerful way, the need for sharing with the poor as the path to a more human and fraternal world in which no one is ex-
cluded or marginalized.” -Pope Francis
May it be the resolution of all of us in the
year 2020 to be part of The True Revolution of Hope,
The Revolution of Love, The Revolution of Tenderness Launched by the Christ Child!
Peace on Earth!

Joseph of Nazareth:
The Story of the Man Closest to Christ
The first feature film ever on the story of St. Joseph, who
was a carpenter, the husband of Mary, and the foster father of Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us that St. Joseph was a "just
man" and that God gave him the most daunting task ever asked of a man–to be the husband of the woman who
would give birth to the Messiah and the father and protector of this Holy Family. He would be the man closest
to Christ. As Joseph is informed by God's messengers about trusting and following his plan for Christ, the
dangerous flight into Egypt to save his child, and finally returning to Nazareth to raise Jesus, this lovely film
presents beautiful vignettes of these and other powerful scenes in the life of the young Christ and the Holy Family
that are authentic and inspiring.
