In my spirit, I
embrace the whole of my beloved Homeland. I rejoice in its successes, in its
positive aspirations and in its courageous undertakings.
-St. John Paul II, 2002 Apostolic Voyage to Poland
St. John Paul II
carried a special devotion to his homeland and her saints. It comes as no surprise, then, that the Polish people carry a
special devotion to the recently canonized pontiff as well. This blog post captures the love of the Polish people for John Paul II, and explains why this
love is different from the affection we have for him here in the Americas.
Our Lady of Częstochowa, Pray for Us!
