Thoughts of Benedict XVI after the preview of the film "Testimonianza" yesterday afternoon.

We must give our testimony to Christ with courage, Benedict XVI reiterated yesterday evening, after the screening of the film on the life of Karol Wojtyla, "Testimonianza". The pontificate of John Paul is captured within the phrases "Open the doors to Christ" which sent shock-waves through public opinion and the other spoken on his deathbed, "Let me go to the Lord". According to Benedict XVI, the film, based on memoirs of Cardinal Dziwisz, reveals new episodes and unveils the human simplicity, courage and finally, the suffering of Pope Wojtyła, which he carried to the end with the patience of a humble servant of the Gospel.
