” “"Today, as I try to recall the figure of John Paul II, I see the Pope praying. There are of course all the images that have gone round the world, portraying him in all the countries of the world. But the deepest memory I have of him is the Pope praying in his chapel". Here are the words of mgr. Amédée Grab, bishop of Coira (Switzerland) and President of the Council of the European Bishops Conferences (Ccee). "Even in his countless international travels continues the bishop John Paul Ii remains a man who is in touch with the Lord, a man of extremely deep prayer. He bequeaths an invitation to welcome the Gospel and the need to announce Jesus again as if it were the day after his Resurrection, by going anywhere, evangelising the different cultures, going back to the origins of the Church in every single country. He did all this, as he had a very deep liking for the world. He never failed to feel the freshness of what the Holy Ghost arouses in the Church and in all peoples, inviting to open the doors to Christ, to cross the threshold of hope and to find in the mystery of the Eucharist and Mary the freshness of a revived faith".” “
