Catherine Doherty—Russian aristocrat, wife and mother, pioneer of interracial and social justice in America, and foundress of the world-wide Madonna House Apostolate—loved God passionately, and expressed this love in every human encounter.
In this “docudrama” written by Cynthia Donnelly and featuring her in the role of Catherine Doherty, you will be able to watch as God shapes Catherine into a bonfire of his love—and through interviews with her friends, you will see this love transform the lives of those around her.
Reviews
“A beautiful, beautiful story! A true story! This video offers a glimpse of the experience of one of the greatest women of the 20th century. I have produced five TV programs for the French CBC in Canada on Catherine—her life, her inner journey, her work. This is a fine script, a good scenario, well chosen personal testimonies, and an inspired production. I guarantee you will not be bored for one minute watching this video and that you will have grown by the time it is over.” — Roger Leclerc, 32-year veteran producer of religious television programs for CBC Société Radio-Canada
“This video bears a message for our times that leads us to prayer, forgiveness and concern for the poor, and most of all, to unlimited trust in the kindness and gentle mercy of God. A Woman in Love is inspiring and unveils the beauty of Catherine’s rich life and wisdom for all. It is impossible to watch this video without seeing the hand of God directly upon Catherine Doherty’s life.” — Jim Towey
