Holiness in the Midst of Holocaust

Monday, 24 October 2011 15:50 Last Updated on Tuesday, 10 January 2012 09:52 Written by Joan Frawley Desmond

Pope John Paul II offered an answer to the horror of the Holocaust.
"Can it still be a surprise to anyone that the Pope born and brought up in this land, the Pope who came to the See of St. Peter from the diocese in whose territory is situated the camp of Oswiecim (Auschwitz), should have begun his first encyclical with the words ‘Redemptor Hominis’ and should have dedicated it as a whole to the cause of man, to the dignity of man, to the threats to him, and finally to his inalienable rights that can so easily be trampled on and annihilated by his fellowmen?"

Justice and Forgiveness

Wednesday, 10 September 2008 05:23 Last Updated on Friday, 29 July 2011 09:51 Written by John Paul II

On this last Sunday of Ordinary Time, the liturgy speaks to us of Christ's second coming. The Lord will appear in clouds, clothed in power and glory. He is the same Son of man, merciful and compassionate, whom the disciples knew during is earthly journey. When the moment comes for His manifestation in glory, He will come to give human history its definitive fulfillment.
