went to see des hommes et des dieux;
a great film about the monks in Tibhirine, Algeria.
it 's a true story of faith and tragedy; the monks have a sincere compassion and empathy for the muslim population. They are truly spiritual and firmly anchored in the culture which surrounds them. They displayed the love of Christ in a truly human way.
i was challenged in my faith journey to attempt to see the other as God sees her/him
whether christian, muslim or whatever...
the film revealed the monks fragility and fear faced with the prospect of death...
but after wrestling in their souls and with God they come through with a quiet
tranquility and trust in God...
a brilliantly sensitive film!
