A new film on Fatima.
.
Watch the trailer here - it is excellent.

Speaking of...
.
I watched a piece on John Paul II on EWTN last night. I forgot how much he suffered from Parkinson's at the end of his life, just to watch footage of him continuing to fulfill his duties as Pope is heartbreaking. His devotion to Our Lady of Fatima definitely corresponds - in every detail - to the visions Our Lady permitted the children, especially Jacinta's. The Holy Father kneeling very sad before a table, while countless people surround him. That scenario was clearly played out at the consecration of Russia, when the statue of Our Lady was brought from Fatima to Rome. If you know the story of Fatima - the documentary shows how everything fits with John Paul II. The scene of Our Lady's Pope, standing with a candle in hand at the top of the stairway in the Apostolic palace, greeting Our Lady's statue as it was carried up the stairs, was exactly what every sincere Fatima devotee had hoped to see in their lifetime.
.
I said it before, but it needs to be stated again: The conspiracy theorists who make things up regarding JPII and Sr. Lucy do great damage to the Church and Our Lady's message, which remains especially relevant to our times.
