The impossible dream that really happened

Pope John Paul II’s life was a miracle.

A Slavic Pope? Impossible!

The fall of communism?  Impossible!

This man was perhaps the most beloved human being of my lifetime. This video pays homage to the drama and beauty of his life. Someone posted this comment on YouTube below the video:

“I was an Atheist for a long time, I found my home in the Catholic Church and my heart tells me it was John Paul’s prayers that brought me home. This man was Christ-like in every way.”

What are we attracted to in a person? Surely holiness is consistently THE most beautiful attribute a person can have. Pope John II was our role model.

We love you, Papa!
