This handy little book contains hundreds of direct
quotes and short sayings of St. John Paul II, arranged according to the
Christian virtues and other spiritual topics, allowing the reader to
encounter his thoughts about particular aspects of the Christian life in
a more organized manner.
The first fifteen chapters are arranged under
virtues corresponding to the classical Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary,
making this ideal for anyone to use for daily spiritual reading and
inspiration. Reading these sayings while reciting the Rosary is like
praying it with St. John Paul II, joining both prayer and the study of
his writings in one great journey of advancing all the more in holiness
and the love of God.
St. John Paul II canonized more saints than all of
his predecessors combined to show that holiness is for all of the
faithful. He wrote 14 encylicals and hundreds of other documents to help
the Church remain faithful to the doctrinal and moral teaching received
from the Apostles.Canonized in 2014, Pope John Paul II’s speeches and
writings continue to be one of the main sources from which Catholics
today draw their knowledge of the faith. He is also venerated for his
defense of the family and the unborn.
