So good to know that these thoughts resonated with you. Yes, Dina the movie is showing in art cinemas. We rely on a little theater in Rhinebeck, NY to see movies like "Into Great Silence", "Vision" and now this wonderful film. We look forward to getting DVD and viewing it as a community. Thanks for the detail about the sisters sleeping near by. So much resembles events in El Salvadore. Thanks to libbiali for the words of their prayer, "Disarm them, disarm me." How much violence lurks in me?Sr. Hildegardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770531977803294736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27825550.post-70465623479101218862011-03-22T19:55:37.596-04:002011-03-22T19:55:37.596-04:00I remember reading articles about this in the nine...I remember reading articles about this in the nineties, and being struck by their prayer "Disarm them, and disarm me."

There were so many little things, as you said, that reminded me exactly of my time of living in a French speaking monastic community. It felt like home. But for the majority of people who are not familiar with such life, this movie will be a time of blessed learning. <br />I even forgot that the men were not real monks. The actors prepared for their roles by living in a monastery. <br /><br />Having just attended a meeting of religious, two sisters of "my" community who also serve in Algeria were sleeping in the monks' guesthouse the night the monks were taken away. <br /><br />I also want to post about "Des Hommes et des Dieux." Is it now playing all over America?Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.com
