Radio Interview: ‘Jesus Thirsts’ with Jim Wahlberg

What is the miracle that we receive in the Eucharist – the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord? A new documentary, “Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist,” looks at the practice of the Catholic faith around the world and devotion to the Real Presence.

Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty caught up with Jim Wahlberg, one of the producers of the movie, after a screening at the Catholic Media Conference in Atlanta, just as the production team got news that the film has the largest audience of any documentary this year. Wahlberg talks about his struggles growing up in a large “culturally Catholic” family in Boston, and how he found the love of Jesus for himself while in prison, and turned his life and his family toward God.
