This series is a magnificent adaptation of this most famous Jane Austen novel from the Nineteenth Century. It takes place in the early 1800’s (1820’s?) in England. The entire series runs about five hours and is very well done in a variety of ways (screenplay, dialogue, acting, costumes and “on location” sets). For many, it is entertaining to the point of addiction, but it is a little bit confusing at first. This “orientation commentary” is my attempt to do what someone did for me when I watched it for the first time, to define some terms and clarify a few issues for the first-time viewer (maybe the second and third-time viewer as well!).
"Because of Easter, we believe and we proclaim that suffering and death lead to resurrection and new life. Easter promises us there is no darkness that cannot be overcome. The way of discipleship does not end in the tomb. With Jesus we rise and go forward unafraid."

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
