Conversion (John Paul II Lenten Reflections)

By | April 5, 2011

Editor’s Note: During the month of April, we wanted to help you dive a little deeper into Lent as well as highlight some of Pope John Paul II writings in preparation for his beatification on May 1. Make sure to share them with your friends.

“Be diligent in handing on intact the spiritual heritage committed to you. Be faithful to your daily prayers, to the Holy Mass and the Sacrament of Penance, meeting regularly with Jesus as a loving and merciful Savior. Defend the sacredness of Life and the holiness of Matrimony. Understand your holy Catholic faith and live by its teaching. Face up to the difficult challenges of modern life with Christian fortitude and patience. Did not Jesus himself say to his disciples: “If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me”? (Mt 16:24; Mk 8:34)

As Web Director for Life Teen, I spend characteristically large amount of time looking at screens, sitting at a desk, and drinking my weight in coffee every three days. If you catch me with my headphones on, I'm probably listening to the newest indie band album no one has ever heard before reading my favorite Apple fan-boy blog. Also, Pope Benedict XVI's writings are my jam.
