The Majesty of Holy Mass ~ Trailer 3

Work continues at Apostolate Films on The Majesty of Holy Mass.  The project is coming along so well that another trailer has been created, using material from the second half of this short film celebrating the majestic Holy Mass.




This past week, voice overs were added in the studio.  Producer Andre Bottesi recorded his first voice over, as did Nick Bottesi on his 15th birthday.  Valued colleague Nancy Carabio Belanger and her son Paul contributed their talents as well, having shared ideas and recording voice overs Friday night.

By Divine Providence there are many excellent still and video images to choose from, as well as excellent audio.  The material was acquired during majestic Holy Masses the weekend of the Feast of the Epiphany at beautiful Ss. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Catholic Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan, U.S.A., in the Archdiocese of Detroit. 

The extraordinary parish has been a delightful collaborator in this work and so much of the work accomplished through Joseph Karl Publishing. Apostolate Films is especially grateful to Fr. Ben Kosnac, Fr. Luigi Gabris, Fr. Jean Ikanga, and so many devout altar boys.

It also thanks St. John Vianney, St. John Bosco, St. Pio, St. Therese, Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., and Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen for their invaluable material on the Sacrifice of the Mass.

Apostolate Films is also grateful to all its colleagues who have volunteered to do voice overs, and to dear friend and colleague Sean McVeigh from McVeigh Ministries, who has generously given hours of his time to serve as the films technical adviser.

We hope to wrap up the film within the next several weeks, and move on to the next one  (big smile).

The Majesty of Holy Mass Trailer

"Renew your faith by attending Holy Mass. Keep your mind focused on the mystery that is unfolding before your eyes. In your mind's eye transport yourself to Calvary and meditate on the Victim who offers Himself to Divine Justice, paying the price of your redemption." ~ St. Pio



"The Mass is a mystery of infinite value."  ~St. John Vianney


"Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we ourselves do not know." 

~St. Padre Pio

Images, A Short Film on the Majesty of Holy Mass, A Book, and A New Website

Joseph Karl Publishing continues efforts to fulfill its mission to promote ongoing Catholic faith formation throughout the lifespan and around the world, defend human life and dignity, encourage forgiveness and healing, inspire, and guide precious, eternal souls to Christ. 


Currently JKP's website is being rebuilt to better suit the work that the good Lord has for it just up the road.   Dear friend and valued colleague Ted Lang of Advantage Information Systems is spearheading that effort, and the new website will debut very soon.

Ted is also helping JKP with the mechanics of developing majestic Catholic prints and posters which will be available soon for individuals, schools, parishes, homes, organizations, businesses, groups, and the workplace.  

The pro-life movement True Love Leads To Life, which is currently developing its official material, will provide images of Jesus taken during Eucharistic Adoration and Exposition on the new website.  The public will be encouraged to have the images made into posters to display while praying at abortion clinics.  As Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. said, "There is no stopping abortion without the Eucharist."

Also in development are images that reach out to the tens of millions of people in need of post-abortion help and healing, including those who are aware of the source of their pain as well as those who have suppressed their pain but are nevertheless still suffering.  

God is so in love with humanity.


Work continues on the life-changing book A New Voice For A Broken Soul by Catholic author Paul A. Ray.  Paul is wrapping up his final edits to the manuscript as award-winning graphic designer Roseann Nieman completes the front and back covers.  A projected publication date will be available soon.  

Paul also writes thought provoking and educational posts on his blog;  if you have not visited  Tongues as of Fire! , consider doing so.  You may just find yourself incorporating Paul's inspiring posts as a regular part of your ongoing faith formation.


Discover or rediscover
the full expression of Christianity
as established by its Founder, Jesus Christ.

JKP continues to post Catholic images on social media sites 
including Facebook, LinkedIn, Google +, 
on iCatholic, and on several blogs. 
  

The short film The Majesty of Holy Mass is being edited and soon, voice overs will be added to the images and the beautiful music.  It is quite a task to present a mystery that defies all human understanding in roughly five minutes, and to choose from so much beautiful material.  Quotes from Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., St. John Vianney, and St. John Bosco will be included.  The insights of these four wonderful men and holy priests will surely inspire viewers to greater Divine Intimacy.  A very pleasant Gregorian Chant has been chosen along with some very delightful dramatic music that fits just right.    
 

How is God at work in you?

"Behind Every Abortion Is The Devil" ~ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

Joseph Karl Publishing spearheads the development of unprecedented new pro-life material under the direction of Jesus Christ and Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

Soon, a series of magnificent images of the Eucharist will be made available to people around the world to share, post, and use in defense of life. The pictures are ideal for making into posters and banners to display when praying at abortion clinics. 

"There is no stopping abortion without the Eucharist." ~Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
