Celebrate the first feast day since Pope Francis declared Pope John Paul II a saint with a good read!
Pope Saint John Paul II's Feast Day is October 22!
Hi, wisdom satu,
Celebrate John Paul II's first feast day!
From the moment Pope Francis said, "We declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints—to be venerated as such by the whole Church," their October feast days would be celebrated at Masses around the world.
What better way to reflect on Pope Saint John Paul II's legacy than a good book? We have three worthy of consideration.
Edward Sri's classic meditation on Pope John Paul II's Love and Responsibility has been revised. It includes a new introduction, new chapters for single people and engaged couples, and the stories of people whose lives have been transformed by Pope John Paul II's foundational teaching on relationships.
This book invites you to consider the facts of this man's life: his impact on the world, his papacy that changed the face of the Catholic Church, his courage in handling crushing adversity, and to see the hand of God at work throughout his years as pope. As you meet John Paul II, you will discover that although his influence was universal, his message was personal.
Rounding out our selection, author Kerry Walters highlights the life of Karol Wojtyla, whom we know today as Pope Saint John Paul II. Read about his early years, his lifelong devotion to Mary, his outreach to young people, and his role as intercessor in seeking reconciliation with institutions and peoples alienated from the Church. This is a book to be enjoyed and treasured as we witness the recognition given to John Paul II as a saint for our times.
"Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries of states, economic and political systems, the vast fields of culture, civilization and development. Do not be afraid!"
