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.

Praise for the DVD: 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."
From a North Carolina: "A friend from Oregon visited North Carolina recently and brought a copy of the Passion of the Earth DVD. I was very taken with it, bought my own copy and introduced it to our environmental committee at church. We decided to use a portion (you, describing the creative process with interspersed comments from the sisters) for a Lenten event. It was very well received there, too, and there have been two inquiries about buying a copy. I directed them to your website. Melanie, your art and your comments are engaging, evocative and inspiring. Thank you for this excellent work."
