DVD Giveaway of The Way Today



To celebrate the DVD release of the inspiring, award wining movie, The Waythis week, I will be giving away three DVDs. All you need to do to is to comment on this post to enter.

The buzz on The Way reached the Vatican this past weekend when Cardinal Timothy Dolan made a reference to the film in his historic address before Pope Benedict XVI and the entire College of Cardinals at the “Day of Reflection and Prayer.” Cardinal Dolan’s reference of The Way was folded into a highly anticipated address on evangelization.

In his remarks, Cardinal Dolan said, “A movie popular at home now is The Way, starring a popular actor, Martin Sheen,” Dolan said. “Perhaps you have seen it. He plays a grieving father whose estranged son dies while walking the Camino di Santiago di Campostella in Spain. The father decides, in his grief, to complete the pilgrimage in place of his dead son. He is an icon of a secular man: self-satisfied, dismissive of God and religion, calling himself a ‘former Catholic,’ cynical about faith… but yet unable to deny within him an irrepressible interest in the transcendent, a thirst for something – no, Someone – more, which grows on the way.”

  5. THank you to Ellie Hrkach for recommending me to your blog. In fact, I had forgotten about this work of Martin Sheen, and I think it has to do with lack of distribution in Canada. But I've seen him interviewed and believe he's one of the few faithful Catholics in the industry. I would also like to lend my copy to friends here who actually hiked the Camino pilgrimage. Thank you Jean for your blog, and your generosity.

  8. It's encouraging to see such big Hollywood names taking a risk for their faith! I wish more Catholics would make movies that celebrate our faith!

  9. It's encouraging to see prominent Hollywood names taking a risk and making a movie about their faith. If only more would stand up and do that...

  11. I met two people in Medjugorje last June who introduced me to this pilgrimage. A young man from Colorado made the walk with father last summer; and then, I was asked to make it with a wonderful lady from Texas sometime this year. Since I won't be able to make the walk on my own, I was excited to see this movie was made. I look forward to getting a glimpse into the incredible spiritual experience it must be.

  17. A few years back I heard someone speak on their Camino journey. They were advised to get fit physically, mentally and most importantly spiritually. Looking forward to watching this movie.
    Love you Cardinal Dolan! He is such a wonderful preacher and speaker.
