Tuesday – 29th Week of Ordinary Time B – Optional Memorial of Saint John Paul II, Pope
Friends in Christ, as we gather to celebrate the life and legacy of Saint John Paul II, we are reminded that he was a pope whose name resonates with hope, peace, and profound faith. For someone born in the 70s, growing up with this pope as a leader in the Church was truly a blessing in many ways. Our readings from Isaiah and the Gospel of John provide us with a beautiful lens through which to reflect on his extraordinary life and mission as a shepherd of the Church.
