Book and Movie Review
Book Review:
Hitler and the Habsburgs: The Fuhrer’s vendetta against the Austrian Royals.
What a great read! Not Just another wordy history book about the World Wars. This is a very Happy, Wonderful, Loving and Holy account of the Habsburgs, the last great Catholic Monarchy of Europe. I cried, I laughed, I was angered. A haunting reminder of what our nation will repeat if we do not bring God, Family and Country back to the center of our lives.
Movie Review:
Fátima is a 2020 faith-based drama film staring Joaquim de Almeida, Goran Visnjic, Harvey Keitel, Sônia Braga, Stephanie Gil, and Lúcia Moniz.
The film, based on the 1917 Our Lady of Fátima events, features the original song “Gratia Plena” (“Full of Grace”), performed by Andrea Bocelli. The film tells the story of a 10-year-old shepherd, Lúcia dos Santos, and her two young cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, who reported having received apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fátima, Portugal, circa 1917. Their revelations inspire believers but anger officials of both the Catholic Church and the secular government, who try to force them to recant their story. As word of their prophecy spreads, tens of thousands of religious pilgrims flock to the site to witness what became known as the Miracle of the Sun.
