“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Thus beginning her invocation to the Holy Spirit, the Church makes her own the substance of the Apostles’ prayer as they gathered with Mary in the Upper Room; indeed, she extends it in history and makes it ever timely.” (Saint John Paul II, Homily for Pentecost, 1998)
The Optional Memorial of Saint John Paul II (1920 – 2005) is October 22.
