With distinguished guests and journalists from around the world on hand, the Vatican played host Tuesday evening to the premiere of the feature-length film "Love and Mercy," a docudrama on St. Faustina and her Divine Mercy revelations. The film will be released worldwide later this year.
"The idea to create 'Love and Mercy' first came to me two years ago after reading the
Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska," said the director, Michael Kondrat, who filmed in his native Poland as well as at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and locations in Lithuania, Mexico, Belarus, Colombia, and Italy.
