This captivating movie provides audiences with a fascinating unique look at the miracle that is the Roman Catholic Mass. The plot centers on three people who find themselves at the same Catholic Mass because of crises they are struggling to endure. Going to Mass is not new to any of them – but they need help to embrace its true meaning. What they experience during that Mass changes all of their lives forever.
“The film fulfills its mission, helping people embrace the Eucharist with more of their heart, soul, mind and strength,” said Randy Sly of Catholic Online.
Audiences will see for themselves on Nov. 27, when The Greatest Miracle releases on DVD. Pre-order the film now from Ignatius Press (www.Ignatius.com), or buy it on release day in stores nationwide. The Greatest Miracle is produced by Pablo Jose Barroso of Dos Corazones Productions, producer of the epic action adventure on Mexico’s Cristero War, For Greater Glory.
Hailed for its powerful and inspiring message, The Greatest Miracle masterfully portrays the invisible realities of the Catholic faith.
The Most Rev. David Ricken, Bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay, Wis., hails the film and its message. “The Greatest Miracle draws the viewer into the Mass by artistically portraying what we as Catholics believe to be taking place, but what we as humans are incapable of perceiving with our earthly senses,” Bishop Ricken said. “May we take from The Greatest Miracle an exhortation to participate more fully and more regularly in the Mass – a tremendous gift to the Church and indeed, to all humanity.”
“In that the film portrays our Guardian angels, how they help us, and how they bring our petitions and offerings to Heaven, I give the film two big thumbs up,” said Tim Drake of the National Catholic Register.
The Greatest Miracle is directed by Bruce M. Morris, the visual writer of the animated hits Pocahontas and Hercules. He earned an Academy Award® nomination for his work on 2009’s The Princess and the Frog. Oscar®-nominee Mark McKenzie, who orchestrated the score for Dances with Wolves, wrote the score for the film, which earned the 2011 Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Original Score – Independent Film/Short/Documentary. McKenzie’s work also includes Men in Black, Spiderman and Ice Age: The Meltdown.
