Dear Donald

Anne Marie and I have just returned from seeing the film of Gods and Men.  What a movie.  Very sensitive to the spirituality of the life within the monastery.  The setting depicted the very simplistic way of life of these monks and actors in no way detracted from the sensitive nature of the build up to the kidnapping of the seven martyrs. 

 

The movie was very spiritual, prayerful and at parts very emotional especially after the community had decided to remain in the monastery and during the community meal one of the monks opened bottles of wine and played a recording from Swan Lake - a very moving part of the story as each member of the community realised what lay ahead of them

 

The sensitivity of the Cistercian way of life was very evident in the singing of the psalms, in the celebration of the Eucharist and in the Salve Regina. Onlooking a some of the photographs of the Atlas Martyrs it is amazing how the actors chosen to portray the monks resembled them. A film well worth seeing.

 

I have tracked down a supplier of the DVD, but unfortunately they do not have any stock at the moment.  I have arranged for a copy to be sent to you when they com into stock.

 

God bless

Andy
