We just recently celebrated the 100th birthday of Pope Saint John Paul ll, who was obviously a great saint.  A passage from one of the Night Prayer Psalms says “10,000 people fell on my right and 1,000 fell on my left, but you have kept me safe O God”.  These words can certainly be said about John Paul as people were slaughtered about him by the Nazi’s and Communists, but he survived.  Although, he did get hit by a truck and left for dead by the side of the road.  But we are never in a position to judge intentions or sanctity.  John Paul talked about a person who taught him to pray — a tailor — who never went out to make a big career in his life, but he said a prayer with every stitch that he took.  I offer you something to ponder and pray about.  Whom do you think was the greater saint — John Paul, or this humble tailor who taught him to pray?
