"Christ's becoming as we are and dying on a cross is not a temporary interruption of his own divine existence. Rather, in the emptied and humbled Christ, we encounter God, we see who God really is."
-from Compassion

The mission of the Daughters of St. Paul is to contribute to the ongoing dialogue between faith and culture in the world of entertainment and information communication. The purpose of this website is to provide resources about the Gospels, Christian life, catechesis, and the film, The Passion of the Christ. In this way our web visitors may use these resources to reflect upon and then converse about these important issues, in respect for diverse opinions and “readings” that are bound to emerge.

Pauline Books and Media does not directly endorse the film, The Passion of the Christ. Rather, our intention is to provide people with ideas to navigate the phenomenon of the film and place it within a theological and biblical context. We hope that this site may be a place for people to engage in a deeper contemplation of and conversation about a great mystery of faith: Christ's totally gratuitous love for each of us.
