Chocolat the Movie - A Valentine Treat

Still in the Valentine, chocolate treat mode here. Wanted to share this little sweet confection with you today. The movie 'Chocolat' has to be one of my favorites, especially this time of year. I actually tried renting it several years ago, when I couldn't locate it, I ordered it online.

It was the basis of my 'Chocolat' theme party and Girls Night In! We enjoyed plentiful chocolate and this decadent movie! I love everything about this movie, the setting, the actors, the theme and the music! Take a look at the trailer below.













One of my favorite parts of the movie is the sermon by the priest....




My Goodness…

“I’m not sure what the theme of my homily today ought to be. Do I want to speak of the miracle of our Lord’s divine transformation? Not really, no.

I don’t want to talk about His divinity. I’d rather talk about His humanity.

I mean, you know, how he lived his life here on Earth, His kindness, His tolerance.

Listen, here’s what I think. I think we can’t go around measuring our
goodness by what we don’t do. 
By what we deny ourselves what we resist
and who we exclude.

I think we’ve got to measure goodness by what we embrace
what we create and who we include.”


From the 2000 movie “Chocolat”, spoken by Pere Henri, the French Priest.
