Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to join theaters around the world to present the global premiere of “Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist” showing June 4-6 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Deep within each human soul, there exists an intense craving for connection, purpose, and love — a thirst that only God can satisfy. Yet, the question remains: How does one fulfill this yearning?
The Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is the most profound means by which God shares Himself with humanity. However, a 2019 Pew Research Study unveiled a concerning reality: only one-third of practicing U.S. Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
In “Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist”, we embark on a global journey to rediscover and revive the transformative power of the Eucharist.
Engaging in dialogue with notable Catholic figures, the film explores the biblical origins of the Eucharist and shares personal stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by the Blessed Sacrament. This exploration makes it unmistakably clear that the Eucharist is not merely a symbol, but is indeed Jesus Christ Himself — fervently desiring to quench our spiritual thirst with His boundless love.
“Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre June 4-6. Showtimes will be Tuesday and Thursday, June 4 and 6 at 4:00 p.m. and Wednesday, June 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and moreinformation, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
