Pope Francis remembers Pope John Paul II 

during his General Audience

In his greeting to the Polish pilgrims at the General Audience, Pope Francis remembered that today, for the first time, the Church celebrates the feast of St. John Paul II, who was canonized this year on April 27th.

Pope Francis asked that "his spiritual heritage not be forgotten”. The Pope said that he invited all "to open the doors to Christ” and reminded the world of "the mystery of the Divine Mercy”. 

POPE FRANCIS


"Today we celebrate the liturgical legacy of St. John Paul II. He invited everyone to open their doors to Christ. He reminded everyone about Divine Mercy. Let's not forget his spiritual legacy. May it push us to reflect and work towards the good of the Church and of society.”
