Celebrating the rich legacy of St. John Paul II on his feast day, we journey through his monumental impact on the Catholic Church and global history.

From his role in the fall of communism in Eastern Europe to his visionary teachings on human dignity and religious freedom, this episode captures the essence of his influence. Drawing from George Weigel's authoritative biography, "Witness to Hope," we reflect on how John Paul II reshaped the papacy, introduced a universal call to holiness, and championed the transformative power of Vatican II. Join us as we explore the profound wisdom of a leader who transcended political boundaries to inspire hope and unity across nations.

Listen in for an enriching insight into a life that continues to offer inspiration and guidance to believers and non-believers alike.
