We commemorate St. Apostle Bartholomew and on Wednesday St. Augustine. Both were chosen by Christ for spiritual service to others, but we can also serve others in non-spiritual ways, being there for them, helping them in difficult life situations.
Not all of us were created for priesthood or monasteries, and Christ values our service right where we are. Today, we bring you tips on films from both areas of life. ☺️

Formally highly stylized Slovak drama takes us to a priest seminary in Bratislava. It is the early 1980s, and life under communist dictatorship seems like an unchangeable reality. The era of uncertainty, fear, and moral decay, which we euphemistically call normalization today, still reigns. Two young men, actually still boys, arrive at the dreary seminary, quickly realizing that their studies will not be devoted solely to prayer and theology.
