Bella the movie


I saw Bella Saturday with a great group of high school kids. I thought the movie was great but a lot of emotional work for me! I thought Jose embodied the beatitude - Blessed are the poor in spirit, or Blessed are the sorrowful! His sorrow gave him the heart of Jesus, who was more attracted to those in distress than those who felt they were self-sufficient. There were some great characters in the movie, all important in one way or another to its pro-life message. The movie really 'served' the pro-life movement without ever having to argue a point - just in showing the fragility and the beauty of human life. Go see the movie! It is showing on the Plaza, in Olathe and in Independence, I think. I hope it does well!
