Pope St. John Paul II
“The most beautiful and stirring adventure that can happen to you is the personal meeting with Jesus, who is the only one who gives real meaning to our lives.”
The pope who loved the Eucharist, our Lady, young people, human love, and the Cross, Pope St. John Paul II is arguably one of the most influential saints of this century.
I designed this mini quilt based on a famous photograph of JPII leaning against a cross. This image is powerfully moving when you realize how much suffering this holy man experienced in his lifetime, and yet how exuberantly joyful he was with all people throughout it all. He embraced his cross with both hands and leaned into it, modeling to the whole world the beauty of redemptive suffering and walking the adventure of life with Christ.
I will certainly be creating more pieces based on JPII and the treasury of his teachings. He is a saint for all times!
Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!
