In the early 20th century, Jesus appeared to a simple, hardly educated Polish nun named Sr. Faustina in order to reveal to the world a message about His Divine Mercy. On Monday, Oct. 28, 2019, that message made its way to more than 700 movie theaters across the United States. It’s called “Love and Mercy: Faustina,” and it was produced by Kondrat Media, a Polish film studio.

Here's a headline for you:

"Love and Mercy: Faustina" was the second-highest-grossing movie on opening night, behind only "Joker."

In a battle of good vs. evil at the box office, “Love and Mercy: Faustina,” a one-night-only release, was the second-highest-grossing movie on Monday, Oct. 28, garnering $1.4 million and toppling big-budget films such as “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” “Zombieland: Double Tap,” and “The Addams Family.” It fell just short of besting box office juggernaut “Joker,” which pulled in $1.8 million on Oct. 28.

At one point in her Diary, St. Faustina describes being mystically transported to her convent chapel where she beheld the face of Jesus.
