RIP: FR. ANTONIO SPECIALE, SSP

Fr. Antonio Speciale, SSP, 89, whom we interviewed for the documentary, was Fr. Alberione's personal secretary for 20 years and kept a "Diary" of Alberione's daily activities.


RIP, dear Fr. Speciale (he really was "special"). When he came to be interviewed, he had two holycards each for us. He didn't want makeup or to take his glasses off: "It doesn't matter what the outside looks like! It matters what's inside! If you love Jesus more than me, you will go higher in heaven!"

REJOICE WITH US!


The usual suspects after general audience with Papa B16! (October 2010 filming)
Rob Kaczmark (director), Sr. Anne (translator, charism consultant)
Sr. Helena (writer, producer), Danny Hidalgo (director of photography)

1. The Alberione SCRIPT, she is FINISHED! It was painful cutting down 60 pages to 30 pages. There was blood all over the script. But this is only an INTRODUCTION to this marvelous media apostle, right? Better leave 'em wanting more! Not easy squeezing 87 years of an extremely full life of the Founder of 10 congregations into so little time. Had to use a GINORMOUS shoehorn.

2. The filming of INTERVIEWS is finished! We gots plenty!

3. INTERNATIONAL interest is rising, and Paulines are already talking about dubbing the finished product into SPANISH and PORTUGUESE!

4. Ask about our FUNDRAISER in CHICAGO, Sunday, May 29, 3pm! We're booking The "Late Nite Catechism" one-woman interactive show at the Royal George (we chose the show "Sunday School Cinema") (tickets are the regular $30): hburns@paulinemedia.com.

Thanks for all your (continued) prayers! We're praying for you also! Fr. Alberione blesses you from Paradise.

SECOND ROUGH DRAFT OF SCRIPT FINISHED!

Here's a Russian icon (OLVladimir) and FIRST CLASS RELIC OF ALBERIONE (don't ask for them, they're not available) under whose combined gaze I finished the second rough draft of the script.

Note the pens illustrating the lines from Alberione's prayer to the Queen of Apostles for the Consecration of the Apostolate: "Today we consecrate to you all our pens, machines, undertakings and the fatigue of daily work...."

The untyped portions of the script will now be typed up and the whole thing handed in for approval, fact-checking, etc. The only snag? At present, the documentary is about 12 hours long! Ha ha ha.
