Drei Selige für Bayern (2008)

Three Blessed from Bayern. About the holy life of Therese Neumann (1898-1962), Maria Anna Josefa Lindmayr (1657-1726) and Father Engelmayr Unzeitig (1911-1945). The liberation of the Dachau concentration camp was already in the air, as Father Engelmar spontaneously volunteered for pastoral care in the Typhoid Barrack. The work with the plague victims brought him death. An act that gave the impetus to look at the biography of a man who was born in Greifendorf (today Czech Republic) on March 1, 1911, and died in Dachau on March 2, 1945, and who has a reputation for holiness. Maria Anna Lindmayr experienced numerous visions, including those that led to the construction of the Munich Trinity Church. At the same time, she predicted that Munich would be spared the devastation by the Austrian troops in the Spanish Succession War if the church could be erected a church in honor of the Holy Trinity. Therese Neumann life changed radically after her miraculous recovery from paralysis and total blindness at the age of 25. About a year later, she received the stigmata and began fasting, which lasted 36 years until her death. Her only nourishment was the Holy Eucharist and for this reason the Nazi authorities, during World War II, withdrew her food rationing card and gave her a double rationing of soap to wash her towels and clothing, because every Friday she would be drenched in Blood while she was in ecstasy, experiencing the Passion of Christ. Hitler was very fearful of Therese.
