Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich wrote about the passion of Jesus.

It inspired Mel Gibson to research further on the Passion, and then to start the wheels in motion to get this film off the ground!

Keep the faith!

I had never heard of Sr. Ann Catherine Emmerick, or The 15 Prayers of St. Bridget of Sweden before I heard them mentioned by Mel Gibson in the making of this movie.

Since this past lent, when more information about the movie came out, it has sent me on a beginning of a personal journey into a deeper understanding of The Passion. What a terrific gift!
