🔸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.

Jun 22 – The Abdication (1974)
St. John Fisher & St. Thomas More
On their feast, Christina’s renunciation echoes their witness. The prophet is purified not only by what he defends but by what he relinquishes.

Jun 29 – Chariots of Fire (1981)
Saints Peter & Paul
The apostles ran their race to the end. Eric Liddell’s obedience in motion mirrors theirs: vocation lived cleanly, joyfully, and without compromise.
