When I decided to watch Heart of a Servant - The Father Flanagan Story, I never imagined it would have such a profound impact on my life. The film was not only well-crafted and captivating, but when approached with an open heart, it had the power to inspire a deeper commitment to helping the less fortunate.
Father Flanagan was such an extraordinary man that if I hadn't seen the film I probably would not have believed that one individual could possess such strength and courage to face and overcome the many challenges that stood so heavily against him.
Father Flanagan not only had a heart of a Servant but he had a Heart of a Father. He was the type of father most dreamed of having. He cared for those children as if they were his own. He stood up for them when no one else would.
This film has the power to change your heart and your life. It will inspire you to do more for those in need and leave you feeling awed, encouraged, hopeful, and grateful that someone like Father Flanagan once walked among us-a man who humbly allowed himself to be used by God in such a meaningful way.
After watching this film, I can only hope and pray that I, too, can fulfill God's purpose for my life with the same humility and grace that Father Flanagan exemplified.
I wholeheartedly encourage you to watch this film-you won't be disappointed.
