PLEASE COME!

Hi all,

   I have recently read a book about Medjugorje ("My Heart Will Triumph") that has inspired me to try to bring messages of grace to others. The book is an autobiographical account of one of the 6 children claiming to be visionaries beginning in the 1980's, when their small village (in Bosnia-Herzegovina) was under Communist control. These children and their families suffered major persecution for even believing in God, let alone, Jesus and Mary. Throughout the many wars and conflicts in the region, this village has been protected and is visited by millions from around the world, purporting to feel God's presence there to this day. The visionaries still live there and still get messages to this day. Many have been healed physically and spiritually. And although it is still in the process of being officially "approved" by the Church, they have encouraged pilgrimages to the village and the church there has installed 25 priests to offer confessions at all times. Pope Saint John Paul II called it the "Spiritual Heart of the World"--and he himself bravely battled against Communist forces trying to silence him up until and during his papacy. Reading some of the messages myself, I feel admonished for being judgmental at times, as I am warned that with that state of mind, my prayers will be "ineffective and even hypocritical". I believe in today's times we really need to start basing our decisions and actions on love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, and teaching our children the same. 

    That said, I recently saw a trailer on Youtube for a documentary on Medjugorje, and how the filmmakers chose 7 people of varied backgrounds and beliefs to go on a pilgrimage together and document what they felt in Medjugorje. What a coincidence that I read this book about an event over 30 yrs ago, which has changed my heart, and now see that this movie is being screened. I have not seen the film but have read many rave reviews (the L.A. Times even reviewed it, which is rare for a faith-based film. It wasn't the best review, but...it's the L.A. Times haha) and have spoken to the film company (Little Flower Strategies). Since the film was only playing in a few select cities around the country, I decided to bring it to Denton for a one-night screening, which will be at:

GOLDEN TRIANGLE MALL- DENTON

2201 S Interstate 35E   Denton, TX 76205

at the Silver Cinemas inside the mall.

ON: THURSDAY DECEMBER 1ST, 2016 

THE FILM BEGINS AT 7P AND IS ABOUT 2 HOURS.

TICKETS ARE $10 EACH.

I have only reserved a 2 hr block so we will need to start the movie at 7pm sharp--I recommend getting there by 6:45pm. I am selling the tickets ONLINE and in person, so please feel free to contact me or click the link here: . The film is PG13. 

  The theater seats 240 so I have many tickets to sell, without a social media account...SOOOO..those that do, please promote this screening and post this link to purchase tickets:

For a really touching account of a miraculous healing, view this video.

This is a video of who they selected to go on the trip (out of 160 submissions). 

After the cost of the theater/licensing is covered, the rest of the proceeds will go to the Loreto House in Denton, which is a non-profit center that helps men and women with unplanned pregnancies, get care, support, and items they may need during and after pregnancy.  

   Please help me spread the word and join me in watching the film!

   Thanks and God bless,
