Charbel

EWTN ran this film last night on the Lebanese Saint Charbel. Even as a boy, Jousef was already praying like an adult. In his early twenties he left his widowed mother and joined a monastery against her wishes. The movie is slow and meditative, Charbel was a holy man who dedicated his life to God. Those around him knew that he was a special man. I struggle daily with my own Catholic faith ans maybe Charbel will help me to do better. I write this review on Palm Sunday.
