  🔸 Monday Night at the Movies- June 2026 – Prophets & Pilgrims Prophecy in June is a pilgrimage through the Church’s feasts. These films follow the soul from guilt to purification, from conscience to renunciation, and finally to a vocation lived in motion. Each week’s feast sharpens the film’s meaning and reveals a different face of the prophet’s call. Jun 1 – The Informer (1935) St. Justin Martyr A prophet begins in the ruins of his own failure. Gypo’s betrayal and collapse mirror Justin’s insistence on truth: falsehood destroys, repentance clarifies. Jun 8 – Stromboli (1950) Sacred Heart / Immaculate Heart Karin’s volcanic exile becomes purification. As the Hearts of Jesus and Mary burn with love, Stromboli burns away pride and forces a reckoning with God. Jun 15 – A Man for All Seasons (1966) St. Barnabas Barnabas stands firm in the Spirit; Thomas More does the same. Here the pilgrimage becomes confrontation — conscience refusing to bow before power.

  June 27 — Day 4 of the Nine Days The Jordan as Surrender “He must increase; I must decrease.” John’s greatness is not in his voice or his austerity. His greatness is in his surrender. At the Jordan, he steps aside. He gives away the crowds, the attention, the authority. He decreases so that Christ may rise. This is the hinge of holiness: not achievement, but relinquishment. Not grasping, but yielding. If Day 1 is the Voice, Day 2 the Furnace, Day 3 the Test, Day 4 is the Surrender. A nation approaching its 250th year must learn this again: less ego, more service; less posturing, more humility; less self‑assertion, more room for God.
