What are the reviews? I was taken back by the Blessed Mother standing on the ground.

It’s a good looking production with quality actors. I’m hopeful. The 1952 movie with Gilbert Roland is good, too.

I believe the brother died in the pandemic of 1918?

This does promising but I’m always skeptical when Hollywood gets its hands on the Catholic Faith.

Not Catholic, but I loved to listen to Father Martin when he was on Coast to Coast with Art Bell.

I enjoyed Martin also. He is as close as I want to get to that Church or its structure though.

We are NOT the “prodigal children” of Mary. Sorry, she was a sinful human just like us all. Her Son was the Son of God, we are the “prodigals” spoken of, and God is our Father .

Gilbert Roland did a fine job as Hugo, but his character was a Hollywood construct; Hugo da Silva was completely fictitious.

The result of the Fatima apparition. Y’all Catholics, pay attention.

Both younger kids, Francisco and Jacinta, of Flu. They were only recently beatified by the Church.

I have a message for those looking for signs. DONT.

A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

Matthew 16:4

+1. If people want to follow demonic apparitions and make movies about them that is their business

And here we go. We get it-the usual Protestant canards about Mary.

Too bad y’all can’t see that she is always pointing towards Jesus, or that miracles still happen.

Yep the Rosary. Very beautiful.

It appears to not only lead men towards holiness but is a thorn to all those that would insult and revile Jesus’s mother.

It should be an interesting movie for these times.
