He was True Shepherd

Detroit News
Tuesday, April 5, 2005

The Holy Father had a choice. Pope John Paul II knew that the church hierarchy and much of the operations of the church needed to be improved, and that the people of the world needed a shepherd. He chose to be a shepherd.

Pope John Paul II's philosophy of life was to exhort us to a "deeper" spirituality where we would inevitably discover the truth and thus convert our lives over to Christ, stop sinning and do good.

He drew his strength from the youth. The World Youth Days he started were his joy and his energy to carry on his mission to change the lives of children to God and create a new culture of young people giving their lives completely over to Christ.
