What's particularly interesting is the way God seems to be working in incredible ways through miraculous situations on the set. "There is an interesting power in the script," Gibson notes. "There have been a lot of unusual things happening on this set, good things like people being healed of diseases, a couple of people have had sight and hearing restored, another guy was struck by lightning while we were filming the crucifixion scene and he just got up and walked away. There was even a little six-year-old girl (the daughter of a person connected with the crew) who had epilepsy since she was born and had up to 50 epileptic fits a day. She's doesn't have them anymore for over a month now." He marvels at how this movie has effected or touched most of the cast in some deep and personal way. "And they really give you a lot of hope. It's like wow! I mean, we're not kidding around about this. It's really happening."

I'm speechless. I don't know Gibson from the guy down the street, but he's always seemed to be a straightforward guy. For him to disclose this - with conviction - I mean, I actually believe that God must be working through this guy. Your average Hollywood type, especially with the box office draw that he has, wouldn't dare go out on a limb like this - it would be career suicide.

That message is truly Mel Gibson's heart and passion.

No, it is the Passion of Christ.

Wow, indeed, This is one great movie coming up. Get your tickets, friends, and it was Truth and Justice that first posted the phone number on FR for tickets: 1-888-227-1152.

Let everyone concerned about this movie buy a ticket and actually view it. That will allow for an honest debate afterwards.

I'm disappointed that I won't be able to see it opening day. Can't get a baby-sitter. We're going to see it the opening weekend if we can get tickets.

FYI, there is a wonderful mini-series running now on EWTN about Theresa of Avila. It's the most engaging Catholic drama that I've seen since "Brideshead Revisited."

It's in Spanish with subtitles. It's an 8-part series. The first three parts have already aired. Each part can stand alone, so you can jump in without having to "catch up." Part IV airs tonight and Parts V-VIII air next week, from Monday through Friday. It makes a great run-up to Ash Wednesday and Mel's movie.

See Teresa de Jesus about half way down the page.

Set your VCRs!
