🚦 Rating: Everyone

Jacinta, Lucia, and Francisco, the little children of Fatima, are not exactly perfect examples when the Lady appears to them. They’re rushing to complete their rosary, and have been gossiping and mocking their friends. However, once the lady appears to them and encourages them to pray their rosaries and return to the Cova every month, they are diligent in following her commands and changing their lives. They demonstrate tremendous courage in standing up to the governor, and great Faith in the Lady’s promises.

This series contains moments of fear and intensity. There are incidental mentions of World War I and the levels of casualties inflicted. An atheistic character mocks Christianity. The visionaries receive a vision of hell. The visionaries are kidnapped by the governor of Fatima. The Governor threatens to boil them in oil and lies to Lucia and Francisco, claiming that Jacinta is dead. The series ends with an intense miracle sequence.

Saint Josemaria Escriva lived a heroic life of trust, love, and gift of self, dedicating himself totally to his mission of sanctifying ordinary work. Though he had to overcome tremendous obstacles in the form of government persecution and even physical mountains, he passed over them, trusting completely in the grace of God in all his trials and bringing a joyful spirit to every moment of his life.

This episode contains moments of intensity and fear, including arguments and raised voices. Scenes of intensity throughout as characters attempt to hide from a government that is persecuting the church and killing priests. A character is shot outside-of-scene, and his death is discussed. A character mocks a priest. Characters are shot at as they flee from a patrol. A character passes out from exhaustion and another character tries to leave him.

The St. Josemaria Institute is a proud sponsor of The Merry Beggars’ Josemaria Escriva series.

For St. Josemaria, the path to holiness is found when we welcome God into the ordinary moments of our lives - in traffic, doing laundry, working, studying, or playing. The mission of the St. Josemaria Institute is to help people discover the beauty and power of this spirituality, deepening their relationship with Christ and helping them to live the power of the Gospel in their ordinary lives.
