Pope John Paul II took hold of the minds and hearts of people all over the world...and not just those who are Catholic. I have read and listened to his teachings and marvelled at the way he seemed to speak to each person as an individual.
On May 1 of this year, he was beatified (given the title of "Blessed"), which is the last step before sainthood. Because of this title, he is also given a Feast Day...October 22 (the anniversary of his inauguration as Pope in 1978). When he was named Pope, he took the world by surprise...and continued to do so for 27 years.
Below is a trailer for a 10 part DVD series about his life and teachings...but the trailer itself reminds us of the many things he was to his followers...
