pWotD Episode 2912: Pope John Paul II Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 263,814 views on Tuesday, 22 April 2025 our article of the day is Pope John Paul II.Pope John Paul II (Latin: Ioannes Paulus II; Italian: Giovanni Paolo II; Polish: Jan Paweł II; born Karol Józef Wojtyła, Polish: [ˈkarɔl ˈjuzɛv‿vɔjˈtɨwa]; 18 May 1920 – 2 April 2005) was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State from 1978 until his death in 2005.In his youth, Wojtyła dabbled in stage acting. He graduated with excellent grades from an all-boys high school in Wadowice, Poland, in 1938, soon after which World War II broke out. During the war, to avoid being kidnapped and sent off to a German forced labour camp, he signed up for work in harsh conditions in a quarry. Wojtyła eventually took up acting and developed a love for the profession and participated at a local theatre. The linguistically skilled Wojtyła wanted to study Polish at university. Encouraged by a conversation with Adam Stefan Sapieha, he decided to study theology and become a priest. Eventually, Wojtyła rose to the position of Archbishop of Kraków and then a cardinal, both positions held by his mentor. Wojtyła was elected pope on the third day of the second papal conclave of 1978, and became one of the youngest popes in history. The conclave was called after the death of John Paul I, who served only 33 days as pope. Wojtyła adopted the name of his predecessor in tribute to him.John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since Adrian VI in the 16th century, as well as the third-longest-serving pope in history after Pius IX and St. Peter. John Paul II attempted to improve the Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the spirit of ecumenism, holding atheism as the greatest threat. He maintained the Church's previous positions on such matters as abortion, artificial contraception, the ordination of women, and a celibate clergy, and although he supported the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, he was seen as generally conservative in their interpretation. He put emphasis on family and identity, while questioning consumerism, hedonism and the pursuit of wealth. He was one of the most-travelled world leaders in history, visiting 129 countries during his pontificate. As part of his special emphasis on the universal call to holiness, John Paul II beatified 1,344 people, and canonised 483 saints, more than the combined tally of his predecessors during the preceding five centuries. By the time of his death, he had named most of the College of Cardinals, consecrated or co-consecrated many of the world's bishops, and ordained many priests.He has been credited with fighting against dictatorships for democracy and with helping to end communist rule in his native Poland and the rest of Europe. Under John Paul II, the Catholic Church greatly expanded its influence in Africa and Latin America and retained its influence in Europe and the rest of the world. On 19 December 2009, John Paul II was proclaimed venerable by his successor, Benedict XVI, and on 1 May 2011 (Divine Mercy Sunday) he was beatified. On 27 April 2014, he was canonised together with John XXIII. He has been criticised for allegedly, as archbishop under Communist Poland, having been insufficiently harsh in acting against the sexual abuse of children by priests, though the allegations themselves have been criticised. Posthumously he has been referred to by some Catholics as Pope St. John Paul the Great, though that title is not official.Under John Paul II, two of the most important documents of the contemporary Catholic Church were drafted and promulgated: the 1983 Code of Canon Law, which revised and updated the 1917 Code of Canon Law, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the first universal catechism to be issued since the Roman Catechism.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:52 UTC on Wednesday, 23 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Pope John Paul II on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.
Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 474The Saint of the day is Saint John Paul IISaint John Paul II's Story “Open wide the doors to Christ,” urged John Paul II during the homily at the Mass where he was installed as pope in 1978. Born in Wadowice, Poland, Karol Jozef Wojtyla had lost his mother, father, and older brother before his 21st birthday. Karol's promising academic career at Krakow's Jagiellonian University was cut short by the outbreak of World War II. While working in a quarry and a chemical factory, he enrolled in an “underground” seminary in Kraków. Ordained in 1946, he was immediately sent to Rome where he earned a doctorate in theology. Back in Poland, a short assignment as assistant pastor in a rural parish preceded his very fruitful chaplaincy for university students. Soon Fr. Wojtyla earned a doctorate in philosophy and began teaching that subject at Poland's University of Lublin. Communist officials allowed Wojtyla to be appointed auxiliary bishop of Kraków in 1958, considering him a relatively harmless intellectual. They could not have been more wrong! Bishop Wojtyla attended all four sessions of Vatican II and contributed especially to its Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World. Appointed as archbishop of Kraków in 1964, he was named a cardinal three years later. Elected pope in October 1978, he took the name of his short-lived, immediate predecessor. Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. In time, he made pastoral visits to 124 countries, including several with small Christian populations. John Paul II promoted ecumenical and interfaith initiatives, especially the 1986 Day of Prayer for World Peace in Assisi. He visited Rome's main synagogue and the Western Wall in Jerusalem; he also established diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Israel. He improved Catholic-Muslim relations, and in 2001 visited a mosque in Damascus, Syria. The Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, a key event in John Paul's ministry, was marked by special celebrations in Rome and elsewhere for Catholics and other Christians. Relations with the Orthodox Churches improved considerably during his papacy. “Christ is the center of the universe and of human history” was the opening line of John Paul II's 1979 encyclical, Redeemer of the Human Race. In 1995, he described himself to the United Nations General Assembly as “a witness to hope.” His 1979 visit to Poland encouraged the growth of the Solidarity movement there and the collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe 10 years later. John Paul II began World Youth Day and traveled to several countries for those celebrations. He very much wanted to visit China and the Soviet Union, but the governments in those countries prevented that. One of the most well-remembered photos of John Paul II's pontificate was his one-on-one conversation in 1983, with Mehmet Ali Agca, who had attempted to assassinate him two years earlier. In his 27 years of papal ministry, John Paul II wrote 14 encyclicals and five books, canonized 482 saints and beatified 1,338 people. In the last years of his life, he suffered from Parkinson's disease and was forced to cut back on some of his activities. Pope Benedict XVI beatified John Paul II in 2011, and Pope Francis canonized him in 2014. Reflection Before John Paul II's funeral Mass in St. Peter's Square, hundreds of thousands of people had waited patiently for a brief moment to pray before his body, which lay in state inside St. Peter's for several days. The media coverage of his funeral was unprecedented. Presiding at the funeral Mass, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger—then dean of the College of Cardinals and later Pope Benedict XVI—concluded his homily by saying: “None of us can ever forget how, in that last Easter Sunday of his life, the Holy Father, marked by suffering, came once more to the window of the Apostolic Palace and one last time gave his blessing urbi et orbi (‘to the city and to the world'). “We can be sure that our beloved pope is standing today at the window of the Father's house, that sees us and blesses us. Yes, bless us, Holy Father. We entrust your dear soul to the Mother of God, your Mother, who guided you each day and who will guide you now to the glory of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, October 22, is the feast day of Saint John Paul II (1920-2005), the charismatic and beloved Polish who was an extraordinary testimony of holiness. He contributed to the fall of communism in Europe, established World Youth Days and the World Meeting of Families, promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and instituted the Luminous Mysteries. Born in Wadowice, a small city 50 kilometers from Krakow, on May 18, 1920, Karol Józef Wojtyla became Pope in 1978. His exceptional apostolic zeal, particularly for families, young people, and the sick, led him to numerous pastoral visits worldwide during his 27 years of papacy. On May 13, 1981, an attempt on his life was made in Saint Peter's Square. Saved by the maternal hand of the Mother of God, following a lengthy stay in the hospital, he forgave the attempted assassin and intensified his pastoral commitments. John Paul II was beatified in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI and canonized in 2014 by Pope Francis. “It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness,” he told young people in 2000. “He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted. It is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices.” Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. John Paul II, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7603EMILIA KACZOROWSKA, LA MAMMA DI SAN GIOVANNI PAOLO II di Renzo AllegriLa madre di Giovanni Paolo II, Emilia Kaczorowska, era figlia di un sellaio lituano, ma era nata in Slesia il 26 marzo 1884. Aveva otto fratelli. La famiglia si trasferì a Cracovia quando Emilia era ancora piccola e fu bersagliata da dolori e disgrazie. In pochi anni, Emilia perse quattro fratelli e anche i genitori. Per alcuni anni crebbe in un Collegio delle suore della Misericordia. Poté frequentare solo le scuole elementari. Poi dovette pensare a guadagnarsi da vivere facendo la sarta.Era gracile e cagionevole di salute, ma era molto bella.Maria Janina, una coetanea di Emilia, nel 1978, subito dopo l'elezione a Pontefice di Karol Wojtyla, ricordava: «Emilia Kaczorowska, da ragazza, era la più bella ed elegante di Wadovice. Abitavamo nella stessa casa. Era snella, aveva profondi occhi neri e un sorriso disarmante. Di carattere era gaia e sempre serena. Vestiva modestamente, ma era distinta, molto femminile. Si confezionava lei stessa i vestiti. Aveva capelli lunghi e si pettinava, come si usava allora, puntandoli tutti in alto».Il padre del Papa si chiamava Karol. Al figlio poi diede il proprio nome, come si usava spesso allora. Era nato nel 1879. Era figlio di un sarto e anche lui aveva imparato il mestiere del sarto, ma poi lo aveva abbandonato per un posto di ufficiale di carriera nell'esercito.«Era alto, con spalle molto dritte e aveva un incedere armonioso», raccontava Maria Janina, la vicina di casa. «Gli stivali lunghi e la divisa militare con le scintillanti tre stellette di sottufficiale sul colletto gli davano fascino ed eleganza. Era molto ammirato dalle ragazze. Anche Emilia si era nascostamente innamorata di lui, e fu felicissima quando Karol la scelse come fidanzata».I due giovani si erano conosciuti nella chiesa cattolica di Cracovia che entrambi frequentavano. Emilia se ne era innamorata subito. Secondo un rapporto dell'esercito austriaco, dove Karol prestava servizio, egli era «onesto, leale, serio, educato, modesto, retto, responsabile, generoso e instancabile». Era anche un affascinante parlatore. Tutte doti preziose, immediatamente apprezzate da Emilia.IL MATRIMONIO E I FIGLISi sposarono il 10 febbraio 1904 e subito dopo si trasferirono a Wadowice, dove aveva sede un prestigioso reggimento di fanteria in cui Karol Wojtyla svolgeva compiti amministrativi.Nell'agosto del 1906, Emilia diede alla luce un maschietto, che fu chiamato Edmund. Ma già fin da quel primo parto risultò che Emilia aveva una salute gracile e che successive maternità potevano essere fatali per lei. I medici quindi le consigliarono di non avere altri figli.La vita dei coniugi Wojtyla a Wadowice trascorreva serena. Lo stipendio di Karol non era pingue ma sufficiente. Emilia lo amministrava con oculatezza. Lavorava anche lei come sarta contribuendo al bilancio familiare. Amava vestire bene il suo bambino e andava a comperargli qualche vestitino a Cracovia.Edmund era intelligente, studiava con profitto. Emilia decise che quel suo ragazzo doveva frequentare l'università e diventare importante. Era orgogliosa di lui.Nel 1914 però Emilia rimase di nuovo incinta. La gravidanza questa volta fu difficile, il parto complicato e nacque una bambina che visse poche ore. Emilia la volle chiamare Olga, come la propria sorella morta a soli 22 anni.Quella difficile maternità e la perdita della bambina segnarono molto Emilia. Fisicamente ma anche psicologicamente. Era diventata una donna molto sofferente. Andava soggetta a fortissimi mal di schiena che le impedivano perfino di reggersi in piedi. Inoltre veniva presa da improvvisi capogiri, svenimenti che le facevano perdere conoscenza. Quando arrivavano quelle crisi, doveva restare a letto anche per quattro cinque giorni di fila. Doveva essere trasportata a Cracovia, per essere assistita da medici specialisti. Le assenze duravano anche una settimana e allora era il marito a sbrigare le faccende domestiche, fare da mangiare, lavare i piatti, pulire la casa.I medici dicevano che aveva i reni compromessi e il cuore malandato. Doveva condurre un'esistenza tranquilla, serena, non doveva affaticarsi e neppure lontanamente pensare ad altre maternità.IL RIFIUTO DELL'ABORTO TERAPEUTICOMa alla fine del 1919 si accorse di aspettare un nuovo bambino. Aveva già 35 anni e mezzo e la nuova gravidanza si annunciò subito difficile. I medici dissero che era pericolosa per lei e per il nascituro: doveva interromperla. Ma Emilia era una donna di fede. Con grande semplicità, si affidò al buon Dio. Mai avrebbe impedito a quel suo bambino di venire al mondo: per lui era disposta a morire.I nove mesi di gestazione furono pieni di complicazioni per la salute cagionevole di Emilia. Il parto, avvenuto il 18 maggio 1920, fu difficile. Il bambino però nacque sano e venne chiamato Karol, come il padre.Da quel momento l'esistenza di Emilia divenne precaria. I disturbi al cuore e ai reni peggiorarono, i gonfiori alle gambe le impedivano di restare a lungo in piedi. Doveva egualmente provvedere alla casa e ai figli. Si sacrificava in silenzio. «Sopportava il dolore con fede», raccontò la sua coetanea Maria Janina. «Non parlava mai dei suoi disturbi e riusciva sempre a tenere un sorriso dolce e sereno sulle labbra, anche nei momenti di maggior sofferenza».Il piccolo Karol crebbe sereno e vezzeggiato. Nel 1926 cominciò ad andare a scuola. Aveva difficoltà in matematica, ma con l'aiuto del fratello maggiore, che era già universitario, riuscì a superarle e divenne uno dei migliori allievi.Nell'inverno del 1928 le condizioni di salute di Emilia si aggravarono. Karol, che aveva compiuto otto anni, cominciò a capire e ad avere il terrore di perdere la mamma. Un suo insegnante di allora raccontò che il bambino era spesso pensieroso e assente. La mattina del 13 aprile 1929, Karol, dopo aver fatto colazione, era uscito presto come il solito per andare a scuola. Verso mezzogiorno arrivò nella sua classe il preside e disse all'insegnante che doveva parlare con il piccolo Wojtyla. Fuori dell'aula, Karol vide una vicina di casa. Capì che era accaduto qualcosa di grave alla sua mamma e scoppiò a piangere. La signora Emilia, infatti, era spirata poco dopo aver mandato a scuola il bambino.La salma esposta nella casa, i funerali, la sepoltura nel cimitero, impressionarono tremendamente il piccolo Karol. Quel lutto segnò la sua vita per sempre. Gli fece scoprire il dolore di perdere la persona più cara. Tutti gli amici di Karol Wojtyla sono concordi nel dire che egli rimase sconvolto dalla perdita della madre al punto di non riuscire quasi mai a parlare di lei. Solo una volta, al giornalista francese André Frossard, che era suo amico, confidò:«La morte di mia madre è sempre profondamente scolpita nella mia mente». Il suo amore tenero e vivo lo dimostrò tenendo sempre con sé alcuni oggetti che erano appartenuti a sua madre: un tavolino e la cesta di vimini che Emilia usava per raccogliere la biancheria.In seguito, quando Karol Wojtyla era anche diventato un famoso poeta, scrisse, in ricordo della madre questa poesia:«Sulla tua tomba bianca / Fioriscono bianchi fiori della vita.Oh, quanti anni sono stati senza di te, / Quanti anni fa?Sulla tua tomba bianca / Da tanti anni già chiusa:Come se in alto qualcosa si innalzasse, / Come la morte incomprensibile.Sulla tua tomba bianca, / O madre, mio spento amore,Con tanto affetto filiale / Faccio preghiera: Dio, donale eterno riposo».Versi densi di un tremendo dolore mai venuto meno.

Friends of the Rosary: Today is the Memorial Day of St. John Paul II, the beloved contemporary Pope named Karol Jozef Wojtyla. Born in 1920 in Wadowice, Poland, he was known for exceptional apostolic zeal, particularly for families, young people, and the sick. He enriched the Magisterium, promulgated the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and instituted the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. On May 13, 1981, an attempt on his life was made in Saint Peter's Square. He was saved by the maternal hand of the Mother of God. Later, he forgave the attempted assassin and, aware of having received a great gift, intensified his pastoral commitments with heroic generosity. John Paul II was beatified in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI and was canonized by Pope Francis in 2014. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

October 22: Saint John Paul II, Pope1920–2005Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: WhitePatron Saint of World Youth DayFully prepared, possessing every skill, a pope for the ages makes maximum impactThirty-three years after the dark cloud of communism had settled over Eastern Europe, on a crisp autumn night, heavy bells across Poland began to sway and toll in their high towers. Their clangs peeled down the valleys, thundered through the town squares, and reverberated off every city street. Men and women spilled like water into the streets. Songs. Candles. Prayers. Flowers. Tears. Flags. Embraces. Champagne. Could it be true? A son of Poland had been elected Pope! The impossible had become possible! In the town of Wadowice, Father Edward Zacher was paralyzed by emotion. He could not summon a single word for the faithful who crammed the church in thanksgiving. Late that night, he slowly opened the sacramental register of the parish. He leafed through the yellowed pages back to May 1920. Carolus Joseph Wojtyła. Father Zacher had taught him catechism as a boy. The register duly noted, in Latin, Karol's dates of Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Priestly and Episcopal Ordination, and consecration as Cardinal. In a margin at the bottom of the page, the old priest's hand trembled as he made a new entry: “Die 16 X 1978 in Summum Pontificem electus et sibi nomen Ioannem Paulum II imposuit.”Pope Saint John Paul II was a titan. He was as prepared as any man before him to be pope. He was all things—a highly educated European intellectual, a philosophy professor with two Doctorates, a mystic of intense spirituality, a working bishop of a large and dynamic Archdiocese behind the iron curtain, a Cardinal whose counsel was valued by the Pope, an active contributor at the Second Vatican Council, a polyglot, and a world traveler. Adding to this embarrassment of riches, he was an athlete and outdoorsman, had palpable charisma, an open personality, a manly presence, vast circles of lay friends, a resonant voice, and he was just 58 years old when elected! Never had a conclave of Cardinals made a bolder, wiser choice. That John Paul II was the first Slavic pope, and the first non-Italian in centuries, was also interesting and became more significant as his papacy unfolded. The times and the man were a match. He was simply the perfect man for the hour and his long papacy disappointed in almost nothing.The catalogue of accomplishments of John Paul II, both before and after his papal election, is long. He was a tornado of activity and displayed a physical stamina which might have buried a man half his age. He wrote profoundly on every subject: Saint Mary, the Trinity, the Church' social teachings, suffering, Christ, work, moral theology, philosophy, and on and on. Every subject found ample space to grow in his capacious mind. His personal narrative was also compelling. He had personally experienced the effects of the twentieth century's twin horrors, Nazism and Communism, both efforts to create a perfect society without regard for God or man's dignity. He knew what it was to be personally degraded, to come close to death, to go into hiding. He had seen his entire nation brought to its knees in humiliation. He understood, at the deepest level, what the Church meant to the world.The papacy of our Saint built on the international Petrine ministry first initiated, in small steps, by Pope Saint Paul VI. John Paul II made this universal ministry an enduring part of every pope's profile. He said Mass on the altar of the world, where humanity itself was his congregation. He had the piety of a humble Mexican peasant and the sophistication of an erudite German professor. No one, and no type, was a stranger to him. An assassin's bullet almost killed him on May 13, 1981, but he survived, barely. The physical effects of his injuries, and other illnesses, laid bare his sufferings for all to see. On the night of April 2, 2005, this giant, this father to the world, this Moses to the Slavs, died as tens of thousands gathered in prayerful vigil outside his window in Saint Peter's Square. His funeral Mass was timeless and supernatural in a manner felt by all, but difficult to capture in words. He was canonized in 2014 and is buried in a side nave of Saint Peter's Basilica.Saint Pope John Paul II, you laid your superabundant gifts on God's altar as a teen, and God used them to the fullest extent until your death. Help all Christians to put their talents at God's service to help lead others to Christ and to His Church.
Tutti almeno una volta nella vita abbiamo acceso la televisione e visto sullo schermo le immagini di Carol Wojtyla: accanto ai leader più influenti del pianeta, circondato da milioni di giovani, con la battuta pronta affacciato su Piazza San Pietro e poi negli ultimi anni, massacrato dalla malattia, con la voce ridotta a un sibilo.Ma in pochi conoscono i lati più nascosti del Papa che ha traghettato la Chiesa tra crollo dell'Unione Sovietica e globalizzazione, tra Giornate della Gioventù e internet, a cavallo del Muro di Berlino e tra due millenni. Questa puntata di Ti Mando la Posizione parte dalla Polonia, per raccontare la storia di Giovanni Paolo II.

Born in Wadowice, Poland, Karol Jozef Wojtyla had lost his mother, father, and older brother before his 21st birthday. Karol's promising academic career at Krakow's Jagiellonian University was cut short by the outbreak of World War II. While working in a quarry and a chemical factory, he enrolled in an “underground” seminary in Kraków. Ordained in 1946, he was immediately sent to Rome where he earned a doctorate in theology. Back in Poland, a short assignment as assistant pastor in a rural parish preceded his very fruitful chaplaincy for university students. Soon Fr. Wojtyla earned a doctorate in philosophy and began teaching that subject at Poland's University of Lublin. Communist officials allowed Wojtyla to be appointed auxiliary bishop of Kraków in 1958, considering him a relatively harmless intellectual. They could not have been more wrong! Bishop Wojtyla attended all four sessions of Vatican II and contributed especially to its Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World. Appointed as archbishop of Kraków in 1964, he was named a cardinal three years later. Elected pope in October 1978, he took the name of his short-lived, immediate predecessor. Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. In time, he made pastoral visits to 124 countries, including several with small Christian populations. John Paul II promoted ecumenical and interfaith initiatives, especially the 1986 Day of Prayer for World Peace in Assisi. He visited Rome's main synagogue and the Western Wall in Jerusalem; he also established diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Israel. He improved Catholic-Muslim relations, and in 2001 visited a mosque in Damascus, Syria. The Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, a key event in John Paul's ministry, was marked by special celebrations in Rome and elsewhere for Catholics and other Christians. Relations with the Orthodox Churches improved considerably during his papacy. “Christ is the center of the universe and of human history” was the opening line of John Paul II's 1979 encyclical, Redeemer of the Human Race. In 1995, he described himself to the United Nations General Assembly as “a witness to hope.” His 1979 visit to Poland encouraged the growth of the Solidarity movement there and the collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe 10 years later. John Paul II began World Youth Day and traveled to several countries for those celebrations. He very much wanted to visit China and the Soviet Union, but the governments in those countries prevented that. One of the most well-remembered photos of John Paul II's pontificate was his one-on-one conversation in 1983, with Mehmet Ali Agca, who had attempted to assassinate him two years earlier. In his 27 years of papal ministry, John Paul II wrote 14 encyclicals and five books, canonized 482 saints and beatified 1,338 people. In the last years of his life, he suffered from Parkinson's disease and was forced to cut back on some of his activities. Pope Benedict XVI beatified John Paul II in 2011, and Pope Francis canonized him in 2014. Reflection Before John Paul II's funeral Mass in St. Peter's Square, hundreds of thousands of people had waited patiently for a brief moment to pray before his body, which lay in state inside St. Peter's for several days. The media coverage of his funeral was unprecedented. Presiding at the funeral Mass, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger—then dean of the College of Cardinals and later Pope Benedict XVI—concluded his homily by saying: “None of us can ever forget how, in that last Easter Sunday of his life, the Holy Father, marked by suffering, came once more to the window of the Apostolic Palace and one last time gave his blessing urbi et orbi (‘to the city and to the world'). “We can be sure that our beloved pope is standing today at the window of the Father's house, that sees us and blesses us. Yes, bless us, Holy Father. We entrust your dear soul to the Mother of God, your Mother, who guided you each day and who will guide you now to the glory of her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.” Click here for more on St. John Paul II! Saint of the Day Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Thirty-Third Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 500All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is St. Raphael KalinowskiSaint Raphael was born in 1835 as Joseph, son of Andrew and Josepha Kalinowski in present day Lithuania. Saint Raphael felt a call to the priesthood early in his life, but decided to complete his education. He studied zoology, chemistry, agriculture, and apiculture at the Institute of Agronomy in Hory Horki, Russia, and at the Academy of Military Engineering in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Saint Raphael became a Lieutenant in the Russian Military Engineering Corps in 1857. During his post he was responsible for the planning and supervised construction of the railway between Kursk and Odessa. He was promoted to captain in 1862 and stationed in Brest-Litovsk. In Bret-Litovsk he started, taught, and covered all the costs of a Sunday school, accepting anyone interested.In 1863 he supported the Polish insurrection. He resigned from the Russian army and became the rebellion's minister of war for the Vilna region. He only took the commission with the understanding that he would never hand out a death sentence nor execute a prisoner. He was soon arrested by Russian authorities, and in June of 1864 he was condemned to death for his part in the revolt. Fearing they would be creating a political martyr, they commuted his sentence to ten years of forced labour in the Siberian salt mines. Part of his sentence was spent in Irkutsk, where his relics have been moved to sanctify the new cathedral.Upon his release in 1873, he was exiled from his home region in Lithuania. He moved to Paris, France, and worked there as a tutor for three years. In 1877 he finally answered the long-heard call to the religious life, and joined the Carmelite Order at Graz, Austria, taking the name Raphael. He studied theology in Hungary and then joined the Carmelite house in Czama, Poland. He was ordained on January 15, 1882.Saint Raphael worked to restore the Discalced Carmelites to Poland, and for church unity. He founded a convent at Wadowice, Poland in 1889, and worked alongside Blessed Alphonsus Mary Marurek. He was a noted spiritual director for both Catholics and Orthodox. He was considered an enthusiastic parish priest and spent countless hours with his parishioners in the confessional. Saint Raphael died in 1907 and was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1991.Source: Catholic-forum.com Saint of the Day Copyright CNA, Catholic News Agency
Nació en Vilna, Polonia, en el 1835. En 1863, durante la ocupación rusa se alzó con otros patriotas polacos. Por esta causa, fue arrestado y condenado a 10 años de trabajos forzados en Siberia. Después de su liberación, entró en el Carmelo de Graz, en Austria, y en 1882, recibió la ordenación sacerdotal. Murió en Wadowice el 15 de noviembre de 1907. Fue canonizado por Juan Pablo II el 17 de noviembre de 1991.

John Paul II was one of the most charismatic popes in recent history, a rock star who attracted millions during his frequent trips abroad and who was considered a beacon of hope for people in his native Poland. Born Karol Joseph Wojtyła on May 18, 1920 in Wadowice in southern Poland, he was elected pope in 1978, the first non-Italian pope in 500 years. He was critically wounded by a Turkish terrorist while in St. Peter's Square in 1981; he later took the unprecedented step of meeting his would-be assassin in his prison cell. He was fluent in eight languages and his pontificate, which lasted more than 26 years, was the third longest in history. He greatly expanded diplomatic relations with other states, from 85 countries in 1978 to 174 countries in 2005, including the U.S. The man who oversaw a record number of canonizations was himself canonized on April 27, 2014.

Karol Wojtyla, elegido Papa el 16 de octubre de 1978, nació en Wadowice, ciudad a 50 kilómetros de Cracovia, el 18 de mayo de 1920 y fue bautizado dos días más tarde en la Iglesia parroquial por el sacerdote Francesco Zak. A los 9 años recibió la primera Comunión y a los 18 el sacramento de la Confirmación. Al interrumpir los estudios a causa del cierre de la Universidad por parte de las fuerzas de ocupación nazis, trabajó en una cantera y, después, en la fábrica química Solvay. A partir de 1942, sintiéndose llamado al sacerdocio, estudió en el seminario clandestino de Cracovia. El 1 de noviembre de 1946 recibió la ordenación sacerdotal de manos del cardenal Adam Sapieha. Después fue enviado a Roma, donde se licenció y doctoró en teología, con una tesis que llevaba por título "Doctrina de fide apud Sanctum Ioannem a Cruce". Regresó después a Polonia, donde recibió algunas tareas pastorales y enseñó las sagradas disciplinas. El 4 de julio de 1958, el Papa Pío XII le nombró Obispo auxiliar de Cracovia. Y Pablo VI, en 1964, le destinó a esa misma sede como Arzobispo. Como tal intervino en el Concilio Vaticano II. Pablo VI le creó cardenal el 26 de junio de 1967. En el cónclave fue elegido Papa por los cardenales, el 16 de octubre de 1978, y tomó el nombre de Juan Pablo II. El 22 de octubre, día del Señor, comenzaba solemnemente su ministerio petrino. El pontificado de Juan Pablo II ha sido uno de los más largos de la Iglesia. En este periodo, bajo diferentes aspectos, se ha asistido a muchos cambios. Entre los cuales, la caída de algunos regímenes, a las que él mismo contribuyó. Con el objetivo de anunciar el Evangelio realizó muchos viajes a diferentes países. Juan Pablo II ejerció el ministerio petrino con incansable espíritu misionero, dedicando todas sus energías, movido por la "sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum" y por la caridad abierta a toda la humanidad. Más que todos sus predecesores se ha encontrado con el Pueblo de Dios y con los responsables de las naciones, en las celebraciones, en las audiencias generales y en las visitas pastorales. Su amor por los jóvenes le llevó a comenzar las Jornadas Mundiales de la Juventud, convocando a millones de jóvenes de varias partes del mundo. Ha promovido con éxito el diálogo con los judíos y con los representantes de las demás religiones, convocándoles en ocasiones en encuentros de oración por la paz, especialmente en Asís. Ha ampliado notablemente el Colegio de los Cardenales, creando 231 (además de uno "in pectore"). Ha convocado quince Asambleas del Sínodo de los Obispos, siete generales ordinarias y ocho especiales. Ha erigido numerosas diócesis y circunscripciones, en particular en el Este de Europa. Ha reformado los Códigos de Derecho Canónico Occidental y Oriental, ha creado nuevas instituciones y reordenado la Curia Romana. Como "sacerdos magnus" ha ejercido el ministerio litúrgico en la diócesis de Roma y en todo el orbe, en plena fidelidad al Concilio Vaticano II. Ha promovido de manera ejemplar la vida y la espiritualidad litúrgica y la oración contemplativa, especialmente la adoración eucarística y la oración del santo Rosario (Cf. carta apostólica "Rosarium Virginis Mariae"). Bajo su guía, la Iglesia se ha acercado al tercer milenio y ha celebrado el Gran Jubileo del año 2000, según las líneas indicadas con la carta apostólica "Tertio millennio adveniente". Ésta se ha asomado después a la nueva época, recibiendo sus indicaciones en la carta apostólica "Novo millennio ineunte", en la que se mostraba a los fieles el camino del tiempo futuro. Con el Año de la Redención, el Año Marino y el Año de la Eucaristía, ha promovido la renovación espiritual de la Iglesia. Ha dado un impulso extraordinario a las canonizaciones y beatificaciones para mostrar innumerables ejemplos de santidad de hoy, que sirvieran de aliento a los hombres de nuestro tiempo. Ha proclamado doctora de la Iglesia a Santa Teresa del Niño Jesús. El magisterio doctrinal de Juan Pablo II es muy rico. Custodio del depósito de la fe, se entregó con sabiduría y valentía a promover la doctrina católica, la teología moral y espiritual, y a enfrentarse durante todo su pontificado a las tendencias contrarias a la genuina tradición de la Iglesia. Entre los documentos principales, se encuentran 14 encíclicas, 15 exhortaciones apostólicas, 11 constituciones apostólicas, 45 cartas apostólicas, además de las catequesis propuestas en las audiencias generales y de las alocuciones pronunciadas en todas las partes del mundo. Con su enseñanza, Juan Pablo II ha confirmado e iluminado al Pueblo de Dios sobre la doctrina teológica (sobre todo en las primeras tres grandes encíclicas ("Redemptor hominis", "Dives in misericordia", "Dominum et vivificantem"), antropológica y social (encíclicas "Laborem exercens", "Sollicitudo rei socialis", "Centesimus annus"), moral (encíclicas "Veritatis splendor", "Evangelium vitae"), ecuménica (encíclica "Ut unum sint"), misiológica (encíclica "Redemptoris missio"), mariológica (encíclica "Redemptoris Mater"). Ha promulgado el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica a la luz de la Tradición, autorizadamente interpretada por el Concilio Vaticano II. Ha publicado también algunos volúmenes como doctor privado. Su magisterio ha culminado en la encíclica "Ecclesia de Eucharistia" y en la carta apostólica "Mane nobiscum Domine", durante el Año de la Eucaristía. Juan Pablo II ha dejado a todos un testimonio admirable de piedad, vida santa y paternidad espiritual.

She said her parish this week confirmed 70 teens and 2 adults, giving the whole parish a spiritual high. Bishop Allue celebrated the confirmation. Scot recalls that in 1979, Susan's pastor Msgr. Helmick was in charge of the papal visit of Pope John Paul II to Boston along with Fr. James McCune. Scot has been going through the archives of the archdiocese, looking for photos of the papal visit.**2nd segment:** Scot and Susan welcome Gregory Tracy and Fr. Roger Landry to the show. On Wednesday, April 20, there was a story in the Boston Herald profiling a website called "Maria Talks" and then a column the next by Michael Graham about the site. The Pilot this week has a story on legislators who want to pull state-funding from the site. The site is partly funded by the state of Massachusetts and run by the AIDS Action Committee and is aimed to be sex education of teens. It includes graphic content on sexual activity and downplays the reality of abortion, saying it's easier than it sounds and that it's not a big deal. It also describes in great detail how to avoid telling parents about an abortion.Susan said that as a mother and a grandmother she is outraged. Massachusetts Citizens for Life sounded the alarm on this site. She recalls that while you may need parental permission to have ears pierced, there is state-funded information on how to get an abortion without parents. Susan said the information they provide is itself factually flawed.Scot said there is a bipartisan group of lawmakers asking Gov. Deval Patrick to take down the website. Fr. Landry said that while people are always telling pro-lifers not to force their morality on them, here they are forcing their immorality on us. Mis- and partial information is being peddled to young people. It's another sign for us to awaken from our slumber, They aren't just trying to force this immorality on our young people and they're trying to make us pay the bill for it. He hopes that we'll keep our vigilance up because this is just scratching the surface of the larger effort to advance the anti-life cause.NARAL Pro-Choice America calls the site "terrific". Gregory said this is abortion distortion: The normal rules of life somehow don't seem to apply when abortion is involved. Children can't bring aspirin to school, but they can get abortions without parental involvement.* [MariaTalks.com](http://mariatalks.com/index.php) **Warning: Graphic Content*** ["Site: No stigma in abortion" (Boston Herald, 4/20/11)](http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1332044)* ["Mass. lawmakers say sex ed website 'disgusting'" (Boston Globe/AP, 4/26/11)](http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/04/26/mass_lawmakers_say_sex_ed_web_site_disgusting/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Local+news)* ["Defunding solves a problem like Maria", Michael Graham (Boston Herald, 4/21/11)](http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/2011_0421defunding_solves_problem_like_maria/)Another local story is a Boston billboard outside the Callahan tunnel in East Boston advertising euthanasia. The billboard is paid for by the Final Exit Network. Kris Mineau of the Mass. Family Institute said that the group is looking for low-hanging fruit to drum up support for a pro-suicide bill. Fr. Landry said that when people get to the stage of suffering when they start to think they just want to die, that's when people need more help to live, not a message that they should die. They should be told that they still have much to offer, dying with real dignity. Fr. Tad Pacholczyk of National Catholic Bioethic Center said: "All of us will ourselves invariably die, with 100 percent certainty. Acknowledging the impending arrival of death, and seeking to pass from this life at home surrounded by loved ones can be a great grace."Susan said you often hear people claim that there needs to be a quality of life, but that's the beginning of the slippery slope, if history teaches us anything. Also, she said, the last days of Pope John Paul II taught us much about suffering with dignity, teaching us to live with suffering and to die with dignity.* ["Boston billboard promotes euthanasia" (The Pilot, 4/22/11)](http://pilotcatholicnews.com/article.asp?ID=13248)**3rd segment:** Fr. Landry wrote an editorial in this week's Anchor on exactly why John Paul is being beatified. He framed it in terms of a conversation the pope had in 1995 with George Weigel as Weigel was about to write a biography of the pope. He said the only way to understand him was to understand him as first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ, that all the fruit he had borne as pope came from the source. A beatification is not an exaltation of a papacy, but an acknowledgement that John Paul lived as a virtuous disciple and that God worked a miracle through the intercession of the pope to show that John Paul can be a model we can follow to grow in the Christian life. Scot said George Weigel writes this week about the beatification and says he worries that we will lose sight of the Pope as a man. When a saint is made, he becomes removed from everyday life and untouchable, an ideal that we can't imagine being. But we are all called to holiness and sanctification. John Paul lived in a radical way, leaning on Christ for strength and guidance, and we're all capable of living this way.Fr. Landry said the Holy Father clarified the standard by which we are to live our lives. John Paul had encountered an attitude in the world that people approach life as a pass-fail course, where we just hope to just get by and into heaven through purgatory. Instead we should strive to get that A+ and doing all the best. The odds that someone striving to get an A will instead fail is much less than someone who sets his sights low and just hopes to get by. God wouldn't call us to anything unless He was willing to give us all that we need to achieve it. John Paul said we need to take prayer seriously, we need to take Mass as the source and summit of existence, we need to be cleansed through confession, to listen to the Word of God and let it take on our flesh, to share the gift of the Word with others, and we need to reach out for God's grace that is extended to us. This is the lesson he preached and lived in his example.* Fr. Roger Landry's editorial in The Anchor on the beatification (to be posted later)* George Weigel's column in The Pilot and The Anchor (to be posted later)* ["George Weigel slams critics of John Paul II's fast track to sainthood" (Catholic News Agency, 4/25/11)](http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/george-weigel-slams-critics-of-john-paul-iis-fast-track-to-sainthood/)**4th segment:** Both The Anchor and The Pilot have testimonies from local people on the life of Pope John Paul. Many people talk about meeting the Holy Father in Rome, sometimes encountering him in his private chapel for Mass. Fr. Roger had the privilege five times. He was always struck by the intensity of his prayer, how focused he was on Jesus when all other eyes were on him. He was a living sign that Jesus Christ is alive. The same Jesus who called Peter from fishing boat called Karol Wojtyla from his home in Wadowice, Poland. Fr. Landry had the experience of preaching the Gospel of Matthew 16:18 as he stood facing Pope John Paul in a private Mass from just four feet away.On his first trip to the United States, Pope John Paul came to Boston in 1979. Susan was a member of the papal choir at the Mass. The choir was directed by then-Fr. Strahan, who composed some settings for the Mass. On the day of the Mass, it poured rain and her red robes stained her clothes underneath. In The Pilot this week, former Boston mayor and former US Ambassador Ray Flynn to the Vatican first met John paul in 1969 when he was Cardinal Wojtyla. Flynn said the result of that meeting was a changing in his outlook on life and a desire to help the poorest and the voiceless. He said that in 1979, when he was a city councilman, he and his wife helped with people who were handicapped attending the papal Mass in the rain on Boston Common.The Pilot talked briefly with Cardinal Sean before he went to Rome for the beatification. He said, "His ministry has a huge impact on the Church and the world. He was always warm and gracious. He was interested in people and energized particularly by young people."Both [CatholicTV](http://www.catholictv.com) and EWTN will have extensive coverage, including the Vigil Mass on Saturday night at 8pm and then on Sunday morning. They will also have many other features on the life of Pope John Paul II. On Monday, the first memorial Mass using the prayers for John Paul led by the Vatican Secretariat of State, Cardinal Bertone.>On Saturday, April 30, at 8 pm, CatholicTV will air a special vigil from the Circus Maximus in Rome. Join pilgrims from around the world and see a video message from Pope Benedict XVI during this broadcast on the eve of the beatification.>>On Monday, May 2 at noon & 8 p.m., CatholicTV will broadcast a special Mass of Thanksgiving for Blessed John Paul from Saint Peter's Square. This Mass will presided over by the Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone.The beatification Mass will air live at 2:30 a.m. Eastern time and will be re-broadcast at noon. Scot said anyone who plans to get up at 1am to watch the royal wedding tomorrow better get up early on Sunday for the beatification Mass.**5th segment:** The beatification will occur on Divine Mercy Sunday. He died six years ago on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday. The Divine Mercy devotion was very important to him. When John Paul was in the clandestine seminary in Krakow during World War II, he worked a day job in a chemical factory. That was located across the street from the convent where St. Faustina received the messages of Divine Mercy from Jesus. As a young priest he also had a great dedication to hearing confessions, reportedly hearing each confession for up to an hour. He always said that in confession the whole Church is present for that one penitent sinner. When he was a young archbishop, he promoted the cause in the face of criticism. And as Pope he wrote an encyclical on Divine Mercy and then made St. Faustina the first saint canonized in the new millennium. At that Mass he declared the first Sunday after Easter will be known as the feast of Divine Mercy.Fr. Roger told a story of being in St. Peter's Square on that day and being approached by a young man asking to hear his confession. More and more people lined up to the impromptu confessions and Fr. Roger heard confessions for more than 2 hours. From that time on, he has had a great devotion to the Divine Mercy.
