The man who wrote this book was the boy who sat in this room singing scales for many years. This was my home parish. It remains close to my heart and it is wonderful to be back here. It is a big book, as you can see. Ago i had the pleasure of presenting it to the holy father at his summer residence.

After he expressed pleased shock at the size of the thing i said Henry Kissinger took 1100 pages to describe three years. Surely you deserve 865 for 80 years. I thought what i might do tonight is pull out some of the themes from this book around the soul of john paul ii. It captures my intention 3. 5 years ago when i began this project. While the pope had been written about an enormous amount, at that time 18 years, much writing came at him from the outside as a great statesman, diplomat, historical figure who only incidentally happened to be a catholic christian, priest, bishop. That seems to get him backwards.

Do we find ways of sharing their enthusiasm and gifts with our communities, above all, in works of mercy and concern for others. Do we share our own joy, and enthusiasm if serving the lord. First thos
Beautiful wave and you you can see he is connecting, when he is in the santa marta, having breakfast, he actually comes across as a little bit on the shy side but the minute he is out there with the crowd he just comes a alive with great joy, enthusiasm and it is contagious, infectious. He sure does. A as we are looking here we can see the popes motorcade, and the pope will be working his way into philadelphia, probably im assuming it is the schuylkill expressway that he will be taking im in the exactly sure. They probably blocked it off for him. Absolutely they block it off for him. We will be seeing that motorcade, as he works his way to the cathedral basilica of saints peter and paul where there is a crowd who is just eager to see him, along the way, and then very special group who will greet him at the steps, and then also, the the wonderful celebration as he walks in the cathedral which is the Mother Church of philadelphia. I think it is fun which all these vehicles and he is in t
