” “"John Paul II, a philosopher and a theologian, a great minister of the Church, left a wealth of writings and gestures that express his desire to spread the Gospel of Christ across the world, using the methods suggested by the Second Vatican Council, and to trace the lines of development of the life of the Church in the new millennium. These precious gifts cannot be forgotten". It was said by Benedict XVI, as he met today some delegates of Fondazione Giovanni Paolo II, which is in its twenty-fifth year. The Pontiff praised the work carried out by the members of the Trust who "work all over the world to keep alive the memory of John Paul II, his Pontificate and the apostolic work he carried out during his Pontificate". A work "that by now touches on the mystery of the holiness of the Servant of God" and "takes new significance after the demise of the Pontiff". "The collection of the Pope’s writings and the rich documentation of the activity of the Holy See, as well as the literary works and the comments made in social mass media, makes up exhaustive archives which may be useful for an in-depth study of the spiritual heritage of John Paul II. Do not abandon this good work. he concluded May it keep growing. May this shared effort, supported by God, keep bearing magnificent fruit".” ” ” “
