“Saint Pope John Paul II - Painting by Dino Carbetta” …

Saint John Paul II is one of the most well-known pontiffs in recent history and is most remembered for his charismatic nature, his love of youth and his world travels, along with his role in the fall of communism in Europe during his 27-year papacy. He established World Youth Day, which brought together millions of young people from around the globe. Karol Jósef Wojtyła was born in 1920 in Poland. He expressed exceptional apostolic zeal, particularly for families, young people, and the sick. Among the many fruits which he has left as a heritage to the Church are above all his rich body of teachings, the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Codes of Canon Law. In Rome on April 2, 2005, the eve of the Second Sunday of Easter (or of Divine Mercy), he died peacefully in the Lord. “Christ is the center of the universe and human history” was the opening line of John Paul II’s 1979 encyclical, Redeemer of the Human Race. In 1995, he described himself to the United Nations General Assembly as “a witness to hope.” In his 27 years of papal ministry, John Paul II wrote fourteen encyclicals and five books, canonized 482 saints, and beatified 1,338 people. In the last years of his life, he suffered from Parkinson’s disease, Pope Francis canonized him in 2014. Presiding at the funeral Mass, Pope Benedict XVI, concluded his homily by saying: “None of us can ever forget how, in that last Easter Sunday of his life, the Holy Father, marked by suffering, came once more to the window of the Apostolic Palace and one last time gave his blessing Urbi et orbi (‘to the city and the world). “We can be sure that our beloved pope is standing today at the window of the Father’s house, which sees us and blesses us. Yes, bless us, Holy Father. We entrust your dear soul to the Mother of God, your Mother, who guided you each day and will now guide you to the glory of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
