Pope St. John Paul II

Pope St. John Paul II


“Jesus entrusts us to Mary as our Mother, and Mary receives us all as her children! This is Christ’s testament on the Cross. On the one hand, he entrusts the Church to the care of his own Mother; on the other, he entrusts his Mother to the care of the Church. The scene on Calvary reveals to us the secret of true Marian piety, which is a filial love of surrender and gratitude to Mary, a love of imitation and of consecration to her person.” (Pope St. John Paul II, Homily, 13 November 1998)


The Optional Memorial of Saint John Paul II (1920 – 2005) is October 22.
