Pope Saint John Paul II was born in Wadowice on May 18, 1920, and lost his mother when he was just nine years old. Upon seeing the grieving son (John Paul II), the daddy entrusted John Paul II to Our Lady of Kalwaria, telling the boy in front of the image of Our Lady, "From today on, she will be your mother."
John Paul II followed that and surrendered himself to Mother Mary's protection. He approached Mother Mary for everything: thank, pray, cry, and get consolation.
In his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope (pp. 214-5), St. John Paul II mentioned three ways his devotion to our Blessed Mother increased. First, he prayed regularly at his parish church in Wadowice before the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which portrays Mary holding the Child Jesus.
Second, he and his father made pilgrimages to the nearby shrine of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, particularly on the feast of the Assumption. From 10 years old, he wore the scapular (which he received at the shrine), relying on Mary's maternal protection.
Third, the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, On his first trip to Poland in 1979 after he was elected Pope, St. John Paul visited the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. He said, "The call of a son of Poland to the Cathedral of St. Peter contains an evident and strong link with this holy place, with this Shrine of great hope: totus tuus ("I am all yours"), I had whispered in prayer so many times before this Image" (June 4, 1979).
Please choose Mother Mary or any particular Saint you like most or feel comfortable with and dedicate yourself. Pray to him/her always, cultivate intimate friendships with him/her, and approach that person for your good and bad times, during success and failure, during happiness and loss. Let THE PERSON become your resource to gain strength and support.
