Last night I watched the movie about Blessed Pope John XXIII in SHPC Room F7 with the rest of the Alpha group. It was a really touching life story of Blessed Papa Giovanni XXIII. He struck me as a man of prayers and peacemaker of God. It really inspires me on the area of prayers and communication with God and men. His most important work which brought renewal to the Catholic Church is the Vatican II council. Thank God for such a wonderful man of God whom He had called to know, love and serve Him as the Pope eventually. The bibliography of Pope John XXIII can be read here. What touches me were his great heart for the people, his humility and his works in world peace (Encyclical Pacem in terris is mentioned in the movie as a part of the outcome of Vatican II council). Do correct me if my info is inaccurate. Thanks!
Here's a youtube clip I found about the movie (practically the only one I could find so far) which I would like to share with you all here.
This is the greatest movie of the year for me!
