Very cool! I read it in one of my classes in college. I honestly have a hard time connecting with JPII, and I feel bad about that, especially since he has such a cult following in Catholic circles. Of the 3 popes in my lifetime so far, Benedict XVI is the one I can connect with the most, and I was able to deeply, which I’m grateful for.
JP2 was the pope of my childhood so I honestly did not have the opportunity to connect much with him either. I only really came to appreciate the wisdom Pope Benedict after his passing. Pope Francis has been the pope who has most directly influenced my mature worldview as a Catholic.
I'm grateful for my therapist. 😅
Well done on all your projects this past season, Thomas. Thank you for being you.
Congrats on the book signing.
Congrats on all the things you are doing! And thanks for the mention! It's wonderful to have you in the group. :-)
I’m so proud of you and grateful for you, my very dear friend! 🙂
Also, Thomas, have you ever read JPII’s Letter to Artists? Might be worth checking out:

I've read it many times and also I've written about it.
