The Rhoda Wise Story (Free Streaming Movie)

Product Description

(DO NOT ADD TO CART)

Discover the extraordinary true story of a modern-day mystic in The American Mystic: Rhoda Wise. This moving film documents the life of a woman who, while suffering from terminal illness and a shattered leg, experienced a series of miraculous visits from Jesus Christ and St. Thérèse of Lisieux that would change the lives of thousands.

Set against the backdrop of Depression-era Ohio, Rhoda Wise was a convert to Catholicism who embraced a life of profound redemptive suffering. The film captures the miraculous moment of her physical healing and the subsequent appearance of the Stigmata—the wounds of Christ—upon her body. Perhaps most famously, the movie explores her role as a spiritual mentor to a young, crippled girl named Rita Rizzo, who would go on to become the world-renowned Mother Angelica, founder of EWTN.
