rybnik: or maybe the diagnosis was wrong? sounds more like it.

I am a John Paul II Sister from Australia (mg.org.au). I have given up everything to follow Christ in the footsteps of John Paul II. One of the greatest things that Bl. John Paul II taught me was to look beyond a person's external features, past decisions etc. Each person has an interior life that is so rich and deep and at some level is a mystery even to himself. I look forward to getting to know people now, even if they don't think much of me, even if we disagree on things, because I trust that they are a gift to me and the only proper response to them, is love.
I was blessed to do the second reading at the beatification of JPII, and like many others, I felt like he was right there present with us, praying with us and celebrating the marvels the Lord had done. His presence was so tangible it was overwhelming.
Bl. JPII pray for us, that we might learn from all that God is saying to us through you, even if we are upset, help us to hear what the Spirit is saying to us. Help us to see you and everyone in our life as a gift for whom the only adequate response... is love.

It seems no one is really holding JPII to the standards. The miracle attributed to him is no more legitimate than Casey Anthony's testimony. And yes that is a very good point Smurf, one I'd like people to comment on: How can people adore someone who helped pedophiles and child abusers escape justice? How is that defensible?

he helped cover up paedophilia and he did nothing to help AIDS victim in Africa. This much is sadly true.
