MIDLAND, TEXAS - Fathom Events will screen the new film “Love and Mercy” based on the life of St. Faustina Kowalska and her reported vision of Jesus Christ in 1931. The docudrama presents new facts and recently disclosed documents that shed new light on the vision of the Polish nun. The film screens at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Dec. 10 at Regal Tall City Stadium.

Aided by scientific analysis, the film reveals how the Divine Mercy image she envisioned (which was later painted by Eugene Kazimierowski) and the Shroud of Turin were compared to one another which, according to the film, drew substantial conclusions.

Dramatically recreated scenes between St. Faustina and her confessor, Father Michał Sopoćko, trace the story’s origins of the image and how the devotion to Divine Mercy was born and spread despite a ban by the Vatican in 1959., according to a press release.
