"In giving us His son, His only Word, He spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word - and He has no more to say ... because what He spoke before to the prophets in parts, He has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son."
+St. John of the Cross
"More than this we need not add; let the last word be, He is all in all!"
Sirach 43:28

Volition - A Film that Demands a Radical Choice

A powerful expression of choice and consequence: http://www.thedoorpost.com/hope/film/film=420351f1aefa2b42b1772fe9d5cc044a
This film is directed by 23 year old Tim Morgan, his 20 year old brother Matthew composed all of the music.
The synopsis of the film states that, "Sometimes the choice of inaction has consequences stronger than we could ever imagine. Throughout history, men have been faced with difficult choices in a world that makes it easy for them to conform. This film explores the hope that lies behind every decision made in the face of adversity; the hope that is buried in the heart of those that look beyond themselves and see something bigger worth fighting for."
