Stunning New Film: The Greatest Miracle, October 14 Release

HOLLYWOOD, CA (September 26, 2011) - Movie to Movement (M2M), in partnership with Dos Corazones Films, is proud to announce the release of a stunning new faith-based film, The Greatest Miracle, which will forever change people's understanding of how the spiritual and temporal worlds interact.

"In our frenetic world, where the average person struggles just to keep their head above water, people seldom take time to consider the spiritual forces that interact in their daily reality," said Jason S. Jones, founder of Movie to Movement. The Greatest Miracle follows the lives of three strangers -- Monica, whose husband has recently died; Chema, whose child is facing a deadly diagnosis; and Cata, an elderly woman seeking peace -- whose lives intersect one morning at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. There, each person meets their guardian angel and is given the gift to see the world through spiritual eyes and take full account of their blessings. "It's the finest artistic tool I've ever seen to explain the truth and beauty of the Mass," Jones stated. "You'll never experience the Mass the same way again."

The movie premiers the weekend of Oct. 14, 2011, at select theaters across the nation, and will open for wider release in December 2011. For every ticket sold on www.MovieToMovement.com for this film, HERO (M2M's parent organization) will donate more than 400 days of clean water to one person in the South Sudan through DigDeepWater.org.

"This is a very exciting project. We get to share a beautiful movie about the miracle that is the Mass while providing water -- the fundamental building block of human life -- to those most in need," Jones expressed. "We have some partnerships in place to help bring this film to the marketplace and will be announcing those soon. But we hope to secure more in the coming weeks to ensure the widest release possible."

Organizations, non-profits, parishes and media outlets interested in such partnerships can learn more by visiting www.MovieToMovement.com/TheGreatestMiracle.

ABOUT M2M: Movie to Movement harnesses the appeal and power of the silver screen to help change the culture by producing and promoting films that promote a culture of Life, Love and Beauty.

This treasury of prayers, now released on Kindle, will help you go to the Lord with courage and pray to receive God's grace.


Sometimes, the Pope said of prayers and devotions, one goes to the Lord "to ask something for someone;" one asks for a favor and then goes away. "But that," he warned, "is not prayer," because if "you want the Lord to bestow a grace, you have to go with courage and do what Abraham did, with that sort of tenacity."

This comprehensive treasury of Catholic prayer includes everyday prayers, devotionals, how to pray the rosary, litanies, the Stations of the Cross, Eucharistic prayers, prayers to prepare for confession, prayers to the saints, Marian prayers, family prayers, and more.
