“On the Piazza Risorgimento [a square bordering the walls of Vatican City], there was a homeless Polish homeless man, often drunk. In his drunkenness he told the story that he had been a fellow seminarian and in the priesthood with John Paul II, and that afterwards he had left the priesthood. No one believed him.”

I was just getting ready to close up when I saw your post. What a beautiful story,St. John Paul II is my favorite I had the privilege of attending Mass he said when he came to Philly. His presence alone made you feel how special he was and is. That reassuring smile when he would give you the “peace of Christ” blessing was a grace…Thank you for sharing that story, St. John Paul II pray and intercede for us… God Bless:
