Cardinal Dziwisz Shares Heartfelt Memories of John Paul II in New Film 🎬

To mark Thursday's 30th anniversary of John Paul II's election, Pope Benedict XVI joined Synod of Bishop participants in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall for the premiere of a new film about polish pontiff. Testimony is an adaptation of the memoirs of Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, the long-standing secretary and close friend of Karol Wojtyla. Part-mp4ie, part documentary, Testimony chronicles John Paul II's role in the dramatic changes of the past century, especially in his native Poland."He always said: I want to serve the Church as a Pole, because Poland has prepared me for this position, with its culture, its religiosity, its tradition.""The film adds never-before published material to Cardinal Dziwiszs bestselling memoir A Life With Karol."He was a great man of an inner freedom. But not a freedom that you can construct and say: 'I am free from the world and all the things'. Because he lived in relationship with God, he lived in another dimension.""I feel that he accompanies us, at least, to me, and I don't feel alone. I have to say that when there are some problems, I say: Holy Father, help me. I've been with you so many years, now I need your help".
