Brother Andre (Le frere Andre) DVD
Brother Andre worked as a porter at Notre Dame College, Canada. Poorly educated and sickly, he was an unlikely candidate to attract people to God. Yet, he became known as the Miracle Worker of Mount Royale. At his death, more than a million pilgrims came to pay their last respects.
In this compelling dramatization of his life, his story unfolds with a visit from his niece. He tells her of his acceptance into the Congregation of the Holy Cross (initially as porter). He also tells her of an elderly priest who introduced him to the way of St John of the Cross? three steps to holiness and who imparted the secret of St Joseph?s Oil, which, used with faith and prayer, could work miracles of healing.
He was promised long nights of purification, darkness and despair before the night of transformation - when the soul melts into oneness with God.
His is the story of a soul open to God - a man who struggled against the misunderstandings of his community.
