Dear heavenly Father,

We thank you for the gift of Pope John Paul II to the church and to the world. We thank you for all the gifts and blessings you showered upon this world through your apostle Pope John Paul II. We recall and remember his role model in courage, love for unity, deliberations for peace, life of simplicity, long sufferings,and the exposition of gospel through his words and deeds. We witnessed your Son's love, protection, and guidance through your beloved apostle Pope John Paul II. We experienced your presence in his charisma of universal fatherhood, as he extended his hands wide to the world in inter - religious and inter - leaders dialogues of peace. We witnessed your Holy Spirit's presence of gifts and fruits in his life. Father we come before you with a thankful heart for elevating our beloved Pope John Paul II in beatification.

In Jesus Name we pray Amen.







Crossing The Threshold of Hope: Book High lights:

Chapter 2 & 3: Praying How and why? How does the pope pray?

The quotes I liked:
" Man is the priest of all creation"
"In prayer then the true protagonist is God"
"Prayer is always an opus gloriae"
" Because pope is a witness of Christ and a minister of the Good News, he is a man of Joy and man of hope, a man of fundamental affirmation of the value of existence, the value of creation and hope in the future life."
" Prayer is a search for God."

In this book, we can witness Blessed Popes writing from his soul. Sucessive chapters includes the following:

Does God Really Exist?
Proof Is it till valid?
If God Exists why is he hiding?
Is Jesus the Son of God?
What has become of the History of Salvation? etc..................and I let you read and enjoy the rest from the book.
