Description

DVD includes optional Spanish-language subtitles - In 2000, Sister Faustina was canonized as the first saint of the new millennium. This stirring and evocative film depicts her life, from her girlhood through miraculous healings and her evolution within the Catholic church - based on Sister Faustina's own recordings in her spiritual diary. This is a film about a religious character facing the complexities of human life and the impenetrable mysteries of faith.

FAUSTINA.......2007-05-15

NOW I CAN UNDESTAND WHY POPE JOHN PAUL II MENTION HER A LOT, IT IS A WONDRFULL LIFE THAT SHE HAD AND ALL THE MIRACLES.

Saint Faustina.......2007-04-23

This is an enjoyable story of Saint Faustina, also called the Apostle of Divine Mercy. However there are some things which the viewer might find unpleasant, despite the subject matter.For example, the dialogue is in Polish with English subtitles. The story is not told in a strictly linear fashion, with some artistic license given to the supernatural experiences of Saint Faustina. I don't think everyone would agree with this intepretation of the life of Saint Faustina, but it is an enjoyable movie, and very positive portrayal of religious life in general.

A Nice Compendium to the Diary.......2006-12-12

I thought Dorota Segda, while not looking much like St. Faustina in my opinion, portrayed her meek presence very well. This is one of the best biographic movies on the life of a saint that I've ever seen, and captures a lot of the struggle and misery that she went through in her submission to God's Will... at least as much as is possible in a short movie. While the overt drama was interesting, what captured my attention the most was the focus on St. Faustina's interior life, her spiritual progression, charity and hardships. These are things often overlooked or glossed over. Overall, it touches on all the major elements (the drama, the interior struggles, the visions) an introduction to St. Faustina must have in my opinion.

I highly recommend reading the Diary of St. Faustina in addition to watching this movie. There is much more drama and powerfully inspiring moments which were left out of the movie, and a spiritual progression which will be of invaluable inspiration to Catholics really serious about deepening their relationship with God. The Diary itself has led me to writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Theresa of Avila, two more great saints who have helped me appreciate St. Faustina even more.

Faustina.......2006-03-24

The story of this Nun is truly inspirational. I enjoyed seeing the places that were part of her life. It makes the whole experience of this Nun's life more real for me.

Powerhouse Of Faith.......2006-03-19

An excellent movie of faith, devotion and sacrifice that the entire family can enjoy.It was a visual history of a Saint that I knew very little of.What an inspiration.
