Many Catholics during this time of lent will refrain from watching TV, DVD, VHS etc in order to spiritually prepare themselves for the Holy Feast of Easter. However, I'm sure that during this period one exception could be made for the movie 'The Passion of the Christ'?The movie (if you have not yet seen it) portrays the last twelve hours of Christ on earth, His sufferings and death on the Cross.
After watching this movie when it first came to the Cinema back in 2004, I can remember the tremendous feeling of love and appreciation which I experienced afterwards. I can honestly say that this movie completely strengthened my spiritual life and love for Jesus and Mary. The movie has also been said to have changed the lives of many other souls through its simple, yet powerful portrayal of Jesus and Mary.
This movie is a great way to prepare for Easter (especially when watched during Holy Week). It allows us to better meditate on the sufferings which Christ endured for the salvation of our souls. After watching this movie; meditating during the rosary, stations of the cross etc will become much easier and will also help you to appreciate the great love of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wishing you all the best for the remaining two weeks of Lent!
