Thanks! I got the video from Chris Stefanick website:
http://www.reallifecatholic.com
He makes great videos gears toward teens and young adults. My parish just adopted his series Chosen for Confirmation class.
Thanks for the kind words and keeping an eye on my blog. I have been so busy lately that I haven’t really had any time to post anything original. The other day I was telling my best friend this quote from JPII and I thought it would make a great post to remind people of the Father love for us independently of our weakness and failures. Truly JPII was a saint and we were blessed to have his witness and love as the Pope.
Cheers,

Powerful words. I sometimes wish he was still here, but then I know he’s helping us from heaven.
Plus, of course, if he hadn’t died we wouldn’t have been blessed with Pope Benedict, then Pope Francis!
That is so True!!! Also he is in heaven and very close to Christ so that he can pray for us!
I love Pope Benedict his audience are so amazing and biblically rich…I highly recommend his book Jesus of Nazareth, it is amazing!
I know…the Holy Spirit move in mysterious and great ways! Thanks for keeping an eye on my blog!
Beautiful! Thank you for this!
