Dark Nights and Doubts In Our Lives: A Failure of Faith-Or Imagination?Doubt and darkness do not necessarily mean that we are struggling with faith. They can just as easily mean that we are struggling inside our imagination and that God is purifying us. What is faith and why does it sometimes feel like its opposite? Dark nights of doubt - their origin, their meaning, their invitation.Join Fr. Rolheiser on this journey out of the darkness so many of us have experienced recently, back into the light.

Sacred Fire: An Anthropology and Spirituality of SexualityWe are incurably sexual, deeply sexed not just in our bodies but in every dimension of our being. Sexuality is a powerful fire inside of us, the best of all fires and the most dangerous of all fires. It is also a sacred fire, meant to be enjoyed as God's great gift to us even as it is guarded by chastity. This workshop will attempt to articulate both an essential anthropology and an essential spirituality of sexuality.To purchase this video in CANADA: Order Now To purchase this video in USA: please place your order through the Videos with Values website. |

Secularity and the Gospel: Being Missionaries to Our Own ChildrenThe toughest missionary task in the world today is communicating the faith to our own children. Secular culture, with its many distractions, has some particular resistances to the Gospel even as it contains much that is moral. Is secular culture post-Christian? How much is our culture a culture of life and how much is it a culture of death? How do we become missionaries inside of secular culture, missionaries to our own children?To purchase this video in CANADA: Order Now To purchase this video in USA: please place your order through the Videos with Values website. |

Living in the Image and Likeness of GodWe are created in the image and likeness of God, but how often do we think about that? What does it really mean, in terms of our day-to-day lives and in our search for the divine? Rev. Ron Rolheiser takes you on a three-part journey through the scriptures, Gospels and the writing of theologians and scholars to describe the “struggles inherent in our Blessedness”, how it can be a source of perpetual disquiet and restlessness, and finally, how to live with the “Divine Fire” inside of us. As always, Fr. Rolheiser's charm, humor, and scholarship make this presentation a memorable one for all those seeking a greater depth and understanding of their faith.To purchase this video in CANADA: Order Now To purchase this video in USA: please place your order through the Videos with Values website. |

The Cross of ChristThe Cross has become the ultimate symbol of love in the world. It is central to Christianity in that we are to forgive our enemies. As such, it is the single most revolutionary moral event that has happened on this planet. And, like all deep things in life, the Cross is largely a mystery. The Cross reveals God's unconditional love and vulnerability. The Cross calls us beyond ourselves, our own agenda, our own life without resentment. This program is presented in two parts. Part 1 - 55:02, Part 2 - 50:15.To purchase this video in CANADA: Order Now To purchase this video in USA: please place your order through the Videos with Values website. |

The Passion of ChristThrough scripture, and examples of life, Fr. Rolheiser gives new understanding and encouragement in how we can give our lives to the world and to also give our death to the world. When we think of passion, we think of Christ's physical suffering and death, but in Agony in the Garden, the Gospels do not emphasize Jesus' physical sufferings. The Gospel writers want us to understand Jesus the Lover who undergoes moral and emotional suffering without resentment or bitterness. Fr. Rolheiser explains that God's strength comes when we are exhausted and open to being transformed. A profound and moving reflection, in two parts Part 1- 39:23, Part 2 - 49:05.To purchase this video in CANADA: Order Now To purchase this video in USA: please place your order through the Videos with Values website. |

Adult Christianity and How to Get ThereFeaturing Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI and Fr. Richard Rohr, OFMFrs. Ron and Richard use these talks to update a perennial and crucial theme: the need for adult Christianity. Both of these master teachers are able to make clear that we tend to do the "start up work" over and over again- identity, boundaries, law, structure and authority. As helpful as these are, they are only for the sake of an internalized identity and value structure, which finally allows us to live the life of faith, trust, surrender, darkness and service.
