Pope St. John Paul II—Feast Day Oct. 22

October 18th 2020 29th Sunday in ordinary time

Karol Józef Wojtyła was born in Wadowice, Poland, in 1920, the youngest of three children. Karol attended Kraków’s Jagiellonian Uni- versity in 1938 where he studied Polish language, literature, theater and poetry. It was during this time that he met his spiritual mentor,

Jan Tyranowski. This meeting profoundly changed the course of his life, leading him to the priesthood. However, his studies were inter- rupted when Nazi Germany invaded Poland in September 1939. Karol joined a clandestine seminary and was ordained in 1946. He then traveled to Rome to continue his doctoral studies. Upon his return to Poland he was made assistant pastor of a parish in Niegowic, where he began his vital work with young people. Cardinal Wojtyła was elected Pope on October 16, 1978, and took the name John Paul II. He was the 263rd successor to Peter, and was to have one of the longest pontificates in the history of the Church, lasting nearly 27 years. He embarked on 104 apostolic journeys to 129 different countries beginning with the West, Mexico and the United States, for the sake of the

Gospel. His love for young people led him to establish World Youth Day, celebrated 19 times during his pontificate, which attracted mil- lions of young people from all over the world. The Pope’s presence on the world stage began the gradual and peaceful removal of Com- munism from Eastern Europe, averted war between the nations of Chile and Ar- gentina, and began the restoration of peace and the healing of division between the major world religions. On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was the victim of an attempted assassination in St. Peter’s Square. Shocking the world, he exhibited extraordinary love and forgiveness when he made a personal visit to his attacker,

Ali Agca, in Rebibbia Prison in 1983. Pope John Paul II died April 2, 2005. On

April 28, 2005, Pope Benedict XVI announced that the normal five-year waiting period before beginning the cause of beatification and canonization would be waived for John Paul II. On He was canonized by Pope Francis on April 27,

2014. Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!

Please pray for parishioners, This is not unlike the battle we often face in our spiritual lives. The Lord relatives and friends of our community never fails to generously give us the tools we need to receive His love who are suffering from illness, especially: and become saints but because He loves us so much, He never forces us into action. Ultimately, the choice to move, change, and grow is ours alone. Judith Grimes, Christopher Canaday, Sharon Howard, Beth LeMarr, Amy Atherton, Emerald Fannin, Judy Willard, As you discern God's will for you in your life, ask yourself the following Heidi Linn, Ricky De La Cruz, Joanne Mata, Janis Sober, questions: am I availing myself of the tools God gave me? Am I grateful John Shankman, Melanie Elliott, Melissa Reitz, for those tools and endeavoring to use them consistently and effectively? Krysti Farnam, Nicki Angela Shaw, Randi Brantner, Do I pray daily? Have I made a habit of reading and meditating upon the Laura Bird, Aubrieta Hope, Jackson Miller, Diane Strand, Rebecca Glenn Hood, Abel Viland, Jim Gardner, Scriptures? Do I attend Mass regularly and confess my sins with humility Isabel Morales, Erica Harstad, Kelly Batten, Dawn Yeloushan, and honesty? Do I have a spiritual mentor to help me in the journey? If Robert Lufrano, Laura Olsen, Roger Stilley, Stephanie Edmond, not, have I set out to find one? Do I take the time to examine my day with John Dawson, Nancy Culver, Moy Pulido Mario Fontana, McKenna the Lord before bed and pray for His continued grace in my life? Turner, John Noreiko, Denise Sanders, Mark Nachman, John Schaeffer, Lisa Kaczmarczyk, Annette McKay The Lord has given you all the tools you need to become a great saint so don’t be afraid to use those tools! Perhaps at first they will feel unwieldy, Please pray for those who protect and serve us and our but if you simply (but consistently!) carve out time for Him each and country. every day and make room for Him to speak to you, He will teach you everything you need to know.
