Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

So, has anyone seen this movie? http://www.childrenofmen.net/ Do you have any thoughts?
My husband and I saw it on Saturday and I was really moved by it, also amazed at the wonderfully thought-provoking pro-life message. The portrayal of the utter hopelessness of the society without children and the longing of the people to see a little child again was so sad and sobering, thinking of the society we are living in.
I'm so glad we went and supported it -- we need more movies like this!


Note: I do really recommend this movie, but it is very dark (for the most part, but there is hope too) and violent, for that is what the world has become without children or hope or future. And there are many, many f-words. The characters are rough and crude often.

Here's an article I read about it the other day. Looks interesting. Not normally the type of movie I'd watch but I plan on seeing this one.

It's based on a book, but my library doesn't carry it.
I'm plan on renting it.
