The Benedictine sisters of the Monastery of Saint Gertrude and artist Melanie Weidner offer this illuminating presentation of the Passion of the Earth, a fresh telling of the Creation story. Using poetry and art, theology and science, they make new connections between Christian faith and our relationship with the Earth.

Project author, Sister Teresa Jackson, OSB, and artist, Melanie Weidner, tell the story behind the story in this inspiring film on the history, making, and message of this compelling collaboration. Monastery of St. Gertrude community members also share their insights throughout, in vibrant interviews on spirituality and care for the Earth.

From a friend of the Monastery, "Sr. Teresa sent me the DVD of the Passion of the Earth. I spent the evening watching it and I feel like I've been on retreat! It is so well done, and so very beautiful. Thank you so much, first for your inspiring artwork, and then for telling the story so well. I will treasure it, and look forward to sharing it with lots of people." Order your own copy today.
