On Wednesday, March 4, 2020, a group of the John Paul II Foundation stipend recipients went to “Bajka” – the movie theater in Lublin to see the film “The Most Sacred Heart”. In the history of cinema this is the first feature-documentary film about the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Along with the main character we learn about the source and history of the Most Sacred Heart devotion. In the movie, we walk together from a small French town where the Lord Jesus revealed himself to Margaret Maria Alacoque in the 17th century, through the Vatican, where the Pope devotes all mankind and the world to the Most Sacred Heart, to the Divine Mercy Sanctuary in Krakow, where Jesus revealed how much love and mercy His Heart has. Finally, we reach the places of Eucharistic miracles, where the particles of the Sacred Heart materialized on the Host.
Coming out of the cinema, many students expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to see this interesting film, both in terms of documentary content and a storyline that allows the viewer to find himself/herself in modern times, where sometimes in very dramatic situations people can experience the love of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Saint John Paul II said that “God reveals His love in the Heart of Christ, and from the Heart of Jesus, the heart of a man learns to know what the true and only meaning of his life and his destiny is; at the Heart of Jesus, man’s heart acquires the capacity to love.”
Listening to these words and looking at the example of the Founder of our Foundation, we want to entrust this time of Lent and our daily affairs to the Most Sacred Heart.
