Catechetical Saints: Blessed John Paul II, Part 3

In this final installment of my series on Blessed John Paul, I thought that I would deviate from the regular format of these articles and instead help us all to reflect on the words of John Paul himself. In the huge corpus of his writing, he really took every opportunity to speak to all the members of the Church, in every state of life. Of course his witness would be enough to inspire us to personal holiness.

So, I am asking you to take some quiet time (a rare commodity for people actively engaged in the catechetical apostolate of the Church) and peacefully reflect on the words of Blessed John Paul.
