Be not afraid! I was 20 years old when St. Pope JPII was elected to be Pope. I was the only Marine in our Company who was glued to the TV in the recreation room. Having been amazed about the death of Pope JP I in only 33 days of Papacy I had great curiosity as to the meaning of such a short Pontificate. I anticipated a wonderful surprise about who would be elected next. My thinking was that Almighty God must have a wonderful surprise for us to have taken a Pope home so soon. It was as if God had decided otherwise regarding The Smiling Pope and that we should be prepared for a Pope of historical significance. We were not disappointed when such a young Prelate as St. Pope JPII was elected whose first words to the World were “Be not afraid!”I was certain that he would be Pope for a very long time and that great things would happen during his Pontificate. He was a Pope with great courage and was very instrumental in events which led to the end of the Cold War and communism. A man who would teach the World how to suffer with great dignity and love. Rest in Peace. POPES JPI and JPII, Pray for us.
Bountiful blessings on you and your loved ones on this holy day! God bless you! Merry Christmas!🎉❤😊

I was just thinking about Pope JPII's first statement. Followed by him stepping out into the world unafraid.
Amen🙏
