Pope St. John Paul II
“On a hillside near the lake of Galilee, Jesus’s disciples listened to his gentle and urgent voice; as gentle as the landscape of Galilee itself, as urgent as a call to choose between life and death, between truth and falsehood. The Lord spoke words of life that would echo for ever in the hearts of his followers. ” (Pope St. John Paul II, World Youth Day 2002, Closing Homily)
The Optional Memorial of Saint John Paul II (1920 – 2005) is October 22.
