Jim Caviezel's New Movie: 'When the Game Stands Tall'

  "I am not afraid of my faith." 

- Jim Caviezel

I learned from Raymond Arroyo on Twitter that 'When the Game Stands Tall' has hit screens in the US last August 22.

I have been waiting for this movie to be shown in Philippine cinemas this month but I suppose I'll have to wait until November to watch it.

I have loved Jim Caviezel's performance since The Count of Monte Cristo and The Passion of the Christ. I believe this new movie will be another inspiring breakthrough in Hollywood.

Exclusive Interview

Also, here is Raymond Arroyo's exclusive interview with Jim Caviezel on EWTN. Jim talked about his experience playing Coach Bob Ladouceur in the movie. Enjoy!

"We're not looking for you to play the perfect game, that's impossible. What we're asking of you and what you should be asking yourself is to give a perfect effort of every play from snap to whistle. That you can be depended on. And in life, champions are not made through a lack of adversity. Champions are made because of the adversity." 

- Bob Ladouceur as quoted by Jim Caviezel

Who is this movie for?

Jim Caviezel: "For all those boys who were like me, they didn't think they had a shot, maybe God is calling them to do something greater than they can ever imagine. Boys that want to become men someday, not guys, but they want to become real men."

I hope you enjoyed watching the interview as I did. After a whirlwind of CG-laden epic movies, there hasn't been an inspiring movie like this. I hope and pray you would support this movie. 

God bless you all!

6 Awesome Catholic Memes from the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals

These coming days (or dawns), I believe we'll all be glued to the tellie to witness the semi-finals and finals of the FIFA World Cup. 

After Germany won over Brazil last week in an epic match with a final score of 7-1, I believe I became more glued!

Now that the finals is fast approaching, my social media sites have been bombarded with funny Catholic memes featuring the two Catholic popes - Pope Benedict XVI who is German and Pope Francis who is Argentinian. 

What a fantastic coincidence that our two beloved popes came from the two countries competing for gold! I suppose we all know by now that Argentina will be battling Germany in the finale. I am nothing short of excited! 

As early as now, I would like to congratulate these teams for their awesome performance and all the other teams who have done their best in participating in this endeavor. 

I have no idea who to side with at the moment, Germany or Argentina?! Whichever team wins is for the glory of God.

And so, here are my favorite memes:

This surfaced on my wall after Germany beat Brazil 7-1.

If Germany and Argentina meet in the World Cup Final... AND THEY WILL.

That really is cute.

Prayer time.

Good Luck to both teams!

Thank you to the social media pages of Catholic News Agency and Catholic Memes. Also, many thanks to my friends who reposted these on their walls, Anna Cosio of Youth4Life and Sky Ortigas of MeetTheNewEve.com.

God bless to all teams playing for the semi-finals and the finals! May the games continue to bring all nations in peace and love.
