I can highly recommend a movie “The Song Of Bernadette” (1943) about the peasant girl Bernadette’s visitation by Our Lady Of Lourdes.

Also, the book “The Incorruptibles” about saints whose bodies remain, without decomposition, through the ages (this is the case with Bernadette).

Lastly, Pope Benedict has been welcoming of the renewal of the Latin mass; if you can find a service in your area, it is a profoundly moving and contemplative rite.

I can second that. It was one of my well-read mother's favorites, in book and movie. And through her, became one of mine. Not surprisingly, she had 'The Incorruptibles' as well.

Harder to find in my area and not well received/spoken of by some in charge.
