A Fantastic New Movie-- "Resurrection" by Roma Downey




 What a wonderful new movie Roma Downey has produced! Resurrection is beautiful, artfully filmed, with great acting and fully developed characters. Its available on Discovery Plus and I think your whole family will love it!

The multiracial, multinational cast perfectly echoes the universality of the Church.

Powerful, jaw-dropping images will leave you newly inspired by the most incredible story of all time.

Full of direct Scriptural references along with dialogue that may very well have happened, Resurrection brings alive the Easter story. And since we are still in the Easter season for another month or so, what a perfect way to remind your family that we are still celebrating Easter! 

We see Mother Mary's powerful and enduring faith and Mary Magdalene with her deep and abiding love for the Lord. The transformation of the Apostles after Pentecost is truly inspiring as they change from followers who love Jesus but are desperately fearful to people on fire with the power of the Holy Spirit. The political maneuvering of Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate is as fascinating as it is disturbing.



Above, Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett discuss their new film with Raymond Arroyo. 

God bless Roma Downey and everyone who worked on this marvelous film. It is a faithful and inspiring depiction of the events that define our faith! Be sure to see it!!
