2.0 out of 5 starsFast and Loose with History
By Marilyn on June 12, 2012
Verified Purchase
I have studied the life of Pope Pius XII for the last three years. I have read Sr. Pascalina's own autobiography in German and a great many other books, in six languages, about Pius XII's life, including the Actes et Documents from the Vatican, now online. I was quite perturbed at the inaccuracies in the life of both Sr. Pascalina and Pius XII which this film depicts. I fear it was based on the largely fictional book, La Popessa. Thank goodness an English translation of Sr. Pascalina's own autobiography is coming out in 2013 from St. Augustine Press, His Humble Servant: Sister M. Pascalina Lehnert's Memoirs of Her Years of Service to Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII [Paperback). That should clear up a great many falsehoods evident in this TV movie. People who want to know what she was really like, and what Pius XII was really like, should read that instead of watching this untrustworthy work of fiction, "God's Mighty Servant."
To begin with, she was not the pope's secretary. She was only his housekeeper and the manager of the Vatican warehouse. There was no aide to the pope named Msgr. Wilson. The pope's private secretary was a German Jesuit named Fr. Leiber, who had accompanied them from Germany and with whom Sr. Pascalina evidently got along well. There was some friction between Msgr. Montini and Sr. Pascalina because some of their duties overlapped. She had made enemies in the Vatican and when Pius XII died she was cast out and found herself friendless. In the 1950's she was asked by the Superior of her Order to write her autobiography, which was titled Ich Durfte Ihm Dienen (I was allowed to serve him).

5.0 out of 5 starsSpeak Lord...for Thy servant heareth!
By ServusDei on March 29, 2012
God's mighty servant is a very comprehensive biopic of the Sister Pascalina Lehnert, who served as Pope Pius XII's secretary and house keeper from 1917 to 1958. This film/ mini-series has tried to remain faithful to her life showing her humble origins as a farmer's daughter in Bavaria to being the confidant of the Pope. In this film we see a woman of great character and determination, and sanctity who loved to serve and did so perfectly, with that same efficiency that make Germans proud! However, she was also a woman of steel, who would not submit to any feigned or pretentious actions either by her subordinates of her superiors. One would get a sense of stubbornness, that would appear to be little more that pride, however it is not pride but a prayerful woman convinced of a calling to serve and serve she did. And if she had to weather a storm of controversy, she would face it head on! Despite these incidences, Sister Pascalina emerges strong and is not only a friend to the Pope, but a sister and mother as well. And the fondness and mutual respect that they had for each other is beautifully depicted.

Our present Holy Father, before becoming Pontiff, apparently jokingly called Mother Pascalina "The most powerful Bavarian in Vatican history'. Pope Benedict XVI continued, "..........as housekeeper and secretary Madre Pascalina managed to create the human living space for Pius XII, which he needed, to fulfil his duties in a difficult time".*

How did Sister Pascalina get to be where she was? How was she perceived by her superiors, fellow religious and the general public as a whole? What made her determined to be the servant of Cardinal Pacelli, who would later become Pope? What was the driving force behind her? How was she of assistance to this great pontiff during WWII?Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA woman of God and the Church
By Jaime Contreras on April 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
I am not going to argue about the factual accuracy of the details of Sister Pascalina Lehnert's life and relationship with to Pope Pius XII's. She was assigned to him to be part of his household staff. In time, the one-woman dynamo gave way to a staff but her position changed from house keeper to secretary and eventually friend during their 41-year (1917 - 58) relationship There are facts about her that remain, her loyalty, devotion to her ministry, her faith and courage. Above all, she remained 'God's mighty servant" and example of the type of person who serves the kingdom of God. Sr. Pascalina came from a humble farming family, had an overbearing father and often had to check her strong character at the door but she always leaned on her faith and devotion to serving God, the Church and the pope. The movie is in German and is beautifully made. I recommend it to anyone who admires tenacity, faith and being a servant leader.

5.0 out of 5 starspersonal courage in persecution
By Margaretm Oconnell on May 19, 2012
Verified Purchase
I knew some of the story of Pope Pius 12 but this movie made me love him more. He carried a heavy burden: how to help our older brothers in the faith without causing more harm. Diplomacy was a jagged road to walk and turning to God was the Pontiff's source of strength and wisdom. His need to be cared for by Sister reminds me of our need to be cared for by Our Lady. Pope Pius' strength and weakness made him so real. The trial of discerning God's Will is a trial we all must face; I hope I can face it with great courage and prayer as did this great saint.

2.0 out of 5 starsCould not read the subtitles
By maria on August 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
Didn't realize that the film was in a foreign language. This would have been ok but for the fact that only some of the subtitles could be read. So I couldn't possibly follow the film. What a waste of money. I am sure the film would have been good too.

This fiction is a great disservice to the memory of the holy persons it claims to portray, akin to calumny. Shame on Ignatius Press for publishing it.
