Pope John Paul II became a saint today which I agree with wholeheartedly! In 1980, when I was a mere 18 years old, my family visited Rome and saw Pope John Paul II in person. He toured around St. Peter's square in his pope mobile and you could just feel the warmth and goodness in him. He later addressed the crowd in at least 8 different languages. I don't remember what he talked about but I remember being impressed which was something because I had just graduated from high school and felt very impressive myself! He was someone many people admired whether they were catholic or not because he was real, positive, forgiving, accepting and so much more. Here's to you Saint John Paul II!!
