First Sunday of Lent: Jesus

As we travel on a journey of faith through Christ's passion, death and resurrection, this podcast series - 'Lent and Easter at the Movies' - takes us to the cinema as Fr Peter Malone MSC relates a series of thought-provoking movies to the day's Gospel reading. First Sunday of Lent - Jesus (1999) TV "In showing [the film Jesus] to groups doing courses on film and spirituality or people in parishes, I find this portrayal of Jesus by Jeremy Sisto is one of their favourites. It's contemporary but I think it shows a lot of the humanity but also the depths leading to divinity in the person of Jesus. It may go out of fashion, as I suppose images of Jesus do, but for the moment, it's one I'd recommend."
