Feast of St. John Paul II
On October 22nd we celebrate the Feast Day of St. John Paul II. His past words of inspiration speak to our current world mired in societal instability: “We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.” “I plead with you—never, ever give up, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid!”
From Mr. Garcia
