00:05I remember when I was in high school, we had a vocations night, and everybody gathered together,
00:10all the guys and the girls, and my youth minister brought out this shiny new DVD that he'd gotten
00:14in the mail called Fishers of Men. I remember he put it onto the screen, and it was awesome.
00:20It was compelling. It was engaging. But I think the thing that was most exciting about it was
00:26that you got to meet priests. You got to see that a priest was a normal guy. But beyond that,
00:32he had an extraordinary call to serve Christ and to serve the people of God. And it was just so
00:38exciting. And I remember afterwards saying, like, I want to sign up. Like, this is so awesome.
00:43And as I've gotten older, you know, and I've seen a lot of videos on the internet and a lot
00:47of vocations
00:47resources, I've always asked the question, where is a video like Fishers of Men for women religious?
00:56Where is a compelling film like that, that would help young people to see the lives of sisters,
01:03to be able to see where that joy comes from, and to be able to hear it from them?
01:08So we've teamed up with Lumen Veer Media and Lighthouse Catholic Media to produce a film
01:13called Light of Love. Now, we want to make this movie unlike any other. It's going to be, first of
01:19all,
01:19free, completely free on the internet and in DVD forms. And it'll be 15 to 20 minutes long.
01:25And the goal is to meet four different sisters from four different religious orders all over
01:30the country. So this summer, we're going to set out to make this film. But we need your help.
01:37We need to raise $20,000 to make this film a reality and to be able to get this film
01:43on the
01:44internet for the Imagine Sisters movement and in DVDs and churches, youth groups, on campuses and
01:49colleges all over the world. But we need to raise this money to make this a reality. And we're
01:56offering a great idea to be able to do this, I think. And I really feel that we can change
02:01hearts
02:01and help the world to see the beautiful lives of sisters. Donations will be tax deductible through
02:07Lighthouse Catholic Media. And you can find out more information on our website and our Facebook
02:12and all of our networks to be able to make this video a reality. And God willing, we'll be able
02:18to film it this summer and release it at the end of the summer in 2013 for everyone to see.
02:23So I ask that you would please pray for this project. Pray for all of the sisters in the world.
02:29And pray especially for young women who are discerning the call to follow where God is leading them.
02:36Thanks.
02:42Amen.
02:44Amen.
