Feast Day of St. John Paul II

Today is the first feast day of one of our newest saints, St. John Paul II.  (And, in a happy coincidence, the wedding anniversary of not one, but two MOJ'ers: me and Rick Garnett.)

To celebrate, here are some relevant links:

• to the prayer to St. John Paul II issued by the Vatican at his canonization,
•  to a number of past posts on his legacy,
• to some symposia on his work.

"Be not afraid!"
