The film provides the setting and background for the birth, childhood, baptism, teaching and many miracles of the Messiah, culminating in the Divine Resurrection.”

4) Jesus the Redeemer. Los Angeles, California: Franciscan Communications. 45:38 min.
“Scripture scholar Father Stephen Doyle invites viewers to participate in Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem and to reflect on the loving witness of the Savior’s mission. Viewers learn the meaning of “pilgrimage” and are introduced to the city of Jerusalem and it surroundings—the setting for so much of the final drama of salvation. The pilgrimage visits sites where Father Doyle shows how Jesus’ friendship with women—such as Martha and Mary—and his Sabbath day healing at the pool of Bethesda as well as his cleansing of the temple all fueled the hatred of the local leaders. And as a result they decided he should die. Viewers then begin to trace Jesus’ final days on earth—at the Cenacle, the house of Caiphas, the cistern prison where Jesus was held overnight. Father Doyle leads them along the Via Dolorosa, then to Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre. They visit Emmaus where Jesus reminded his followers that he would be with them always in the Breaking of the Bread. The final journey is to Tabgha, scene of the touching meeting between Jesus and Peter…when Peter affirmed his love for the Lord and Jesus commissioned Peter to lead his church.”
