In 1977 I was in the same building with him and Mother Theresa who would have ever thought I was in the presence of two saints. It was overwhelming for a 16 year old.
His importent words are still in my memory:Do not be afraid,because you are not alone.The lord will never cease to accompany us... with his grace and the gift of his spirit"in the stillness we hear his gentle and urgent voice.His call has always demanded a choice between the two voices competing for your hearts...the choice between good and evil,between light and darkness,between life and death...Which voice will the young peoplw of the XXI century choose to follow?Who will be the men and women of tomorrow?Do not be afraid to be saints.Fly high.The church needs you,you are the youth of the church,the church of hope".
Thanks for your opinion, i understand your perspective although, i disagree with you, but you can make a video that has no background music or choose something better. Personally, i was playing lord of the rings the return of the king music while listening to Pope St John Paul The Great. I feel a certain connection with the pope. My friend, Lance let me borrow a sword (a ghirelli rosary) that was blessed by the pope himself.
powerful speech by Holy Spirit through him. Saint John Paul II please pray for us.. we're so grateful for your ministry.. especially as a young man, you have begun to awake us through world youth day (until now). and for the Church, well known as konsili vatikan 2 (in Indonesian language, sorry i don't know how to spell it in English). May God bless us.. and peace among us. amen.
Pope John Paul II was formerly a drama actor in theater. It definitely helped him to make an impressive speech skill. One of his gifts from Our Lord in the Heaven.
Had so many facets - love, intelligence, intellectualism and yes, anger. Yes, anger at what we've become due to materialism. But always had unconditional love for gays and murderers. He forgave his assassin. This was 20th century man of God walking among us.
An anti christ per St. John is one who divides Christ. St. John Paul II did nothing of the sort, he united people and directed them TO Christ. "Blessed are the peacemakers" Matthew 5:9
