*the passion of Christ*
I finally saw this film last night. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it impacted me. It is one thing to read the Gospel stories, and entirely another to watch the suffering of Christ on screen. To think that he would have still gone through all that suffering even if I were the only person on earth...
to think that He prayed for me the night before He died...
to think that He had me on His mind when he suffered...
Anyone can say anything they want about this film.
As for me, is is the story of the grace that has saved my life.
See the film.
Open your hearts.
Love one another.

"It is as it was," Pope John Paul II commented on The Passion of Christ.

I also want to ask anyone reading this to say a quick prayer for the family of a girl in my women's choir. Her little sister died last week after a 12 year battle with leukemia. I pray that her family finds comfort in the midst of their greif.
