Pope John Paul II - DVD
$24.95
IP:PJPII-M
This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla’s journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people and changed the face of the Church and the world; how he defended the dignity of mankind. Jon Voight's powerful, Emmy-nominated performance as John Paul II was widely praised, as was Cary Elwes as the young Karol. Shot on location in Rome and Poland in close connection with the Vatican, this is the definitive epic film on the life of Pope John Paul II. Stars Jon Voight, Cary Elwes, Ben Gazzara, James Cromwell, and Christopher Lee. DVD includes many special features such as a sixteen-page collectors booklet with exclusive photos, interviews and more. Deleted and behind the scenes, the making of the movie and footage of the World Premiere screening at the Vatican with Pope Benedict XVI. Spanish Subtitles, closed captioned.

“Voight is quite extraordinary. Besides doing a spot-on impersonation of Pope John Paul’s public persona, he ages most convincingly... It’s a heart wrenching portrayal. Pope Benedict XVI attended the world premiere screening and at the conclusion blessed the miniseries - the ultimate endorsement!”
—Harry Forbes, Catholic News Service

“Watching this film has renewed in me a sense of profound gratitude to God for having given the Church and the world a Pope of such an exalted human and spiritual nature.”
—Pope Benedict XVI

"Although shot on a lavish scale in Italy, Poland and elsewhere, 'Pope John Paul II' succeeds on intimate terms even when troops are marching or huge crowds are filling St. Peter's Square, and Elwes and Voight are largely responsible. The movie is honestly and actually about something... It's the ability to instill joy in human hearts, and the film not only celebrates it but, in its finest moments, even possesses it."
—The Washington Post

"Voight stands out... he closely mirrors our image of the pope as a person: that mix of majesty and humility, humor and steel."
—USA Today

"Writer-director John Kent Harrison wisely finds a narrative focus... as the pope stares down the unraveling Soviets hoping to help free his native Poland. More than anything, Voight's performance... taps into John Paul's emotional life... it's a remarkable performance."
—Variety

"Succeeds brilliantly... it does reveal why most of those who criticized [Pope John Paul II] also loved him."
—Pittsburg Post-Gazette

"Elwes... deftly depicts the internal struggle that finally drove Wojtyla to be trained for the priesthood. [This film] understands the importance of taking the time to see Pope John Paul II as a fully rounded human being as opposed to a hollow icon."
—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Who Did You See?
$17.00
OCP:20637
Christopher Willcock, SJ At World Youth Day 2008, a million young Catholics took up the words of “Spirit-Power” and other songs from Who Did You See? But that’s only the beginning for Christopher Willcock’s seventh collection. Catholics of all ages will enjoy its provocative texts and contemporary melodies for years to come.

Song selected for papal Mass at World Youth Day 2008
The collection generated considerable buzz long before its release. In summer 2007 WYD organizers got wind of Christopher's new work. Eventually, they selected "Spirit-Power" to be the gathering song in one of the papal liturgies.

Songs:
Who Did You See?
Come and Heal Us
En Todo Amar
Friends in the Lord
Gifts of the Spirit
Lead Us Home, Lord
O Veni, Sancte Spiritus
Praise to Christ
Spirit Power
The Hope You Have in You
The Way
There Is Nothing Told
Whence Comes This Fire?
