St. John Paul II
A contemporary saint, Karol Jozef Wojtyla was a gifted student but worked in a quarry and chemical factory when the Nazis closed the University he attended in 1939. Secretly he enrolled in an underground seminary and was ordained a priest in 1946. He continued studies after the war. In 1978, Karol became Pope John Paul II, serving for 27 years. Despite deteriorating health, he wrote 14 encyclicals, five books, canonized 482 saints, beatified 1,338 people and visited 124 countries.
Feel discouraged?
Your life can be fixed no matter how bad it seems, but you can't do it alone. Ask for God's help and he will empower you to make the needed changes. All things are possible with him.
"In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence." St. Teresa of Calcutta
