On Saturday, March 8, the Maronite
Servants of Christ the Light took the MYO of Our Lady of Purgatory parish to
watch the newly released movie, “Son of God”.
The movie depicts the life, passion, death and resurrection of Our Lord
Jesus Christ. The members of the MYO were quite moved, particularly during the
scenes portraying Our Lord’s passion and crucifixion.
Afterwards, the sisters invited the
group to the Mother of Light Convent for a pizza supper and a sharing on the
movie. Each teen was touched by different parts of the movie. One was struck by
Mary’s example throughout the passion of Jesus, particularly her surrender to
the will of God, and Peter’s bitter tears upon his denial of Jesus moved
another. All the teens considered the movie
a timely reminder of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice for us, particularly during this
holy season of Great Lent, as we meditate on the suffering of Jesus and the
sorrow of Our Lady.
