Padre Pro<br />
Blessed Miguel Pro: Martyr of Mexico<br />
This movie is the inspiring story of the famous Father Miguel<br />
Pro, S.J., who was executed in Mexico in 1927 for the crime of<br />
being a Catholic priest. This young Jesuit spent most of his<br />
short life in the priesthood dodging the Mexican police as he<br />
ministered to the underground Church during the Mexican<br />
Revolution. Fr. Pro’s quick wit and keen sense of humor<br />
were put to good use as he pedaled around Mexico City on<br />
his bicycle in various disguises, en route to administering<br />
the Sacraments, giving spiritual talks or begging food and<br />
money for the poor. But behind the disguises beat the heart<br />
of a saint—as the Mexican people testified by turning out in<br />
throngs to pay their last respects after his martyrdom. Fr. Pro<br />
offered his life for the Catholic Faith and his last words on this<br />
earth were: “Viva Cristo Rey”—Long live Christ the King!<br />
This powerful movie makes history come alive and highlights<br />
the dramatic conflict between the Church and her<br />
enemies that continues even to this day. An inspiring film for<br />
the whole family, this is an incredible true story of a modern<br />
Catholic hero who proclaimed both in life and death the reign<br />
of Christ the King. In Spanish with English subtitles.<br />

The Fugitive<br />
When director John Ford and actor Henry Fonda collaborate,<br />
audiences know they are in for a powerful screen<br />
experience. To such films as The Grapes of Wrath, My Darling<br />
Clementine and Fort Apache add this brave, unsparing, magnificently<br />
lensed (by Mexico’s Gabriel Figueroa) work. Based<br />
on Graham Greene’s novel The Power and the Glory, the story<br />
follows a priest (Fonda) in Latin America pursued by a ruthless<br />
police lieutenant carrying out the dictates of an oppressive,<br />
anti-clerical government. There’s another fugitive as<br />
well: an American killer on the run—and the paths of the<br />
two hunted men cross with fateful consequences. A haunting<br />
paean to the resilience of faith, The Fugitive remains a filmmaking<br />
triumph.<br />

The Greatest Miracle<br />
rom the Producer of For Greater Glory, this is a beautiful,<br />
Fanimated story about the power and impact of the grace<br />
of God, and of unseen spiritual influences and events, in our<br />
lives, especially in Church during our participation in the<br />
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It focuses on three characters and<br />
their guardian angels, and how we all have the freedom to<br />
choose to do good or evil, to pray, and the consequences from<br />
our choices. It shows the great spiritual power of the sacrament<br />
of Confession, and beautifully reveals the meaning and<br />
importance of each aspect of the Mass, our greatest prayer<br />
and miracle, through which we share in such close “communion”<br />
with almighty God by receiving Jesus Christ in the<br />
Holy Eucharist. This DVD contains the following language<br />
options: English with dubbed Spanish.<br />
