While preparing to write my own book on John Paul II ( In the Footsteps of a Saint: John Paul II’s Visit to Wisconsin), I poured into numerous biographies to find the best material available. Thankfully there are a host of great books devoted to the man who inspired the world and each highlight different aspects of his life. It can be a bit overwhelming and no doubt many of the young people (and adults) who walked the streets of Kraków these past few days will want to deepen their knowledge of the beloved pontiff. Everywhere you turn there are commemorations to the Polish hero, making it seem that there is not one inch of Poland that the saint hasn’t influenced. As the young people of the world visit the many holy sites of Poland for World Youth Day, one can not help but notice the profound impact Saint John Paul II had on the country.
