Doors of Miracles

A young businesswoman trembles as she thanks God, anticipating another disaster. Suddenly The Light of Heaven descends upon her, projecting her up past the Universe to Heaven to return with supernatural powers, miracles, and God speaks.

Based on a true story. Angela Cussons is a young girl who, although not Catholic, wants to be a Nun. But God has other designs for her life. Each night she reads her Bible until all hours of the morning, to her father's concern. When no message is received 'calling' her, sadly she resolves to marrying, unaware Jack Symes is God-chosen, and who becomes the love-of-her-life. They have two children.  Jack is involved in a serious car accident and Angela must make the hardest decision of her life. Now alone, when Government Legislation is being passed adverse, to the wellbeing of the nation's inhabitants, Angela advertises a Rally. Twice during preparation of her Speech she gives thanks to God. Each time a 'disaster' is triggered. A third occasion. This time she hesitates . But she cannot – not thank Him. Trembling with fear she looks up, "Thank You My Dear Lord."  Immediately the sky opens and Light pours down to the pit of her stomach filling the room, projecting her in its source out beyond the Heavens. She's turned slowly around to float slowly back through the stars of the Universe with Earth before her, marvelling,  "How beautiful...” She passes two blank-paged books floating among the stars, "Wonder what they're doing out here... perhaps the Old and New Testaments yet to be written?"   Back in the spot from which she was projected, The Light and Aura remain, filling every nook and cranny. And, as if in a bubble, her feet are about six inches above the ground. She's "safe". Nothing can penetrate the bubble to harm her. But she feels selfish in this protection and commences what she describes as "Breaking of the Chain of Light" unaware, only the Giver of The Light can sever it. But now she`s susceptible to attack, even though the Miracles continue. She understands Pete (the mouse) and Coco the rabbit when they speak to her. She heals her dad`s stroke, and her mum`s cancer disappears (although her mum had sufficient faith to heal herself). Sadly, she is unable, to save her beloved Jack. Her mum is visiting. Angela gives up her bed and is asleep on the sofa in the lounge-room when she is awakened by a voice, close to her face - "Angela!" She opens her eyes. God repeats.... "Angela!". She struggles to respond. She can't.  She can't get her voice to project her response. Then from behind her head The Holy Spirit speaks on her behalf, “Yes Lord Anything.” Angela writes a book, which some claim "heals". Her dad already passed, her mum passes to The Lord. Angela's childhood dream to become a Nun and do God's work becomes a reality albeit in reverse of her intentions.  God gave Angela His Work to do before becoming a Nun so that she can reveal the secret, to the opening, of the Doors to God's Miracles. Evaluation  (Melbourne Live Indi Film Awards - Winner 2024) "Door of Miracles," a screenplay adapted from Patricia Poulos' non-fiction book "My Reply," takes audiences on an enchanting journey into the realms of faith, miracles, and divine intervention. The story centers around Angela Cussons, a young woman whose life becomes a profound testament to the extraordinary possibilities that unfold when one's faith is put to the test. Angela's path, from an aspiring nun to a wife and mother, unfolds with unexpected twists, offering a narrative that delves into the intricate dance between divine purpose and human choices. The screenplay paints a visually striking picture of Angela's celestial journey, where an expression of gratitude catapults her into the breathtaking beauty of the universe, forging a direct connection with God.
