Reflections on Our Newest Saints

By: Kristina M. DeNeve

Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us that the fight is over…God’s mercy wins in the end. And our two newest saints help us believe this truth.

First, whether you view Vatican II as attempting to become more relevant for modern peoples or as returning to our historic roots, there is no doubt the Holy Spirit worked through Pope John XXIII, though our Church Fathers at Vatican II and now through all of us who are living Vatican II into reality.

And Pope John Paul II? A human face to Jesus! As we celebrated last week, Jesus threw his arms wide open on the cross and cried out “I love you!” with his very life. And for over twenty years, John Paul II flew round the world and did the same thing as he rode his pope mobile and greeted the crowds. John Paul II reminds us that Jesus works through humans to make sure we know we are loved.

Saints John and John Paul, pray for us! Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world!
