Sometimes because I was struck by how a particular story was far too mysterious to be anything less than a miracle sometimes because another story made me realize how little I knew of this saint while he was on earth and finding myself sorry to have missed that opportunity to know him more as our pope and sometimes because I started to feel the joys and the sorrows of his life and ministry and was amazed to share such human traits with such a holy person. Through reading this book, I often found myself in tears.for many different reasons. The book is split into 2 parts: the first part is a short biography of the saint where we get to know him a little bit more by the various names he was known as in life, and the second part then dives deeper into the "5 loves" of JPII, exploring the greatest themes and devotions of his life and ministry. There is SO much we can learn from Saint (!) John Paul the Great, that I somewhat expected this book to be but a brief introduction to this great man. Not just every Catholic, not just every Catholic, every human.
