Movie on Franciscan Nun in Honduras Opens on the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Today is the feast of Saint Clare of Assisi, a special day for the Franciscan order, and a new movie is highlighting the work of a Franciscan nun in Honduras. 'With This Light' is in select theaters starting Friday, August 11th. It tells the story of Sister Maria Rosa Leggol, who helped more than 87,000 children in Honduras escape poverty and violence. She did so through a network of social and educational projects. Sister Maria died in 2020 at the age of 93, but her spirit lives on. Executive Producer of "With This Light," Jessica Sarowitz, joins to share what inspired her to tell this story. Sister Maria has been called the Mother Teresa of Honduras. Sarowitz discusses what it was like filming in Honduras and what this movie means to the Honduran people. This film helped open the cause for Sister Maria Rosa's beatification. Sarowitz tells us more about that. She fills us in on how people can see the movie. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
