JPII Quotations plus Legacy of Two Popes

Providing inspiration from the man whose advice and insights have touched the hearts of millions, Pope John Paul II: In My Own Words reveals the pope in his many roles: as teacher, pastor, poet, leader, lover of all humanity, and follower of Christ. In these quotations and prayers, the pope addresses everything from the search for truth to the wonder of love, from the holiness of the family to the responsibilities of the priesthood, and from the miracle of life to the mystery of the Incarnation. His words reveal the compassion, joy, and wisdom born of his more than fifty years as a servant of God.

This collection includes both the book, Pope John Paul II: In My Own Words, and the companion pamphlet, John XXIII and John Paul II: Building the Legacy of Vatican II. In calling the Second Vatican Council and implementing its teachings and spirit, Pope St. John XXIII and Pope St. John Paul II possibly did more for the modern Church than anyone else. This pamphlet briefly tells the histories, themes, and accomplishments of these men and the council--for the inspiration of all.
