A word from John Paul II...


Love

‎”Love explained everything to me. Love solved everything for me. That is why I admire love wherever it is found. If loves is as great as it is simple, if the simplest longing can be found in nostalgia, then I can understand why God wants to be greeted by simple people; by those whose hearts are pure and find no words to express their love. God came this far and He stopped a short step away from nothingness, very close to our eyes. Perhaps life is a wave of astonishment, a wave of height and depth: Don’t ever be afraid”

Taken from one of Karol Wojtyla’s poems Song of the Hidden God.
It was used as one of the last lines in the film ‘Karol; The Man who became Pope’ about the life of Pope John Paul II
