I saw the movie the last 2 Saturdays on EWTN, it was very moving and had me in tears. I would highly recommend it for families or for a church movie night, the movie can be purchased on the net. I would recommend it for non-Catholics too; it’s a beautiful story of a pious woman who loved and overcame many hardships and forgave her oppressors. The movie Karol was also very moving, that too was on 2 recent Saturdays on EWTN, you can surely see God’s will in the life of Pope John Paul II. I would also recommend this for non-Catholics too, just to see the hardship of the Poles who had to live through Nazism and Socialism and how they survived and conquered both. And again, you can see how much this man(JPII) loved and forgave everyone-a remarkable man.

I downloaded it in parts and watched it on youtube. I don’t have the link but those who missed it might want to google and see if it’s still there.

People in the new (Christian)country of South Sudan have great devotion to her. Those Christians have suffered greatly from persecution: I once worked with a doc who fled there and was taken out of a refugee camp and sent to school by the seventh day Adventists (he was a Catholic)...he later went to medical school and when I knew him he was working at a Methodist mission hospital in Liberia (and still a Catholic, but when you work in places like Africa, the branches of the church seem less important)....
