April 2 marks the first anniversary of the death of John Paul II.
around the world are organizing activities to commemorate that date and the event that accompanied it, that is the emotional involvement of the mass, which involved several billion people, a unique event in human history.
In Rome, the queue of pilgrims waiting to enter the caves to the Vatican to pay homage the tomb of Pope John Paul II has returned to be very long. The memory of this great man is more alive than ever.
are also numerous initiatives, audiovisual and publishing.
Among these, a great volume of Mondadori entitled "The Pope of Fatima - The Life of Karol Wojtyla" , designed by Renzo Allegri , in bookstores by March 14.
A unique and courageous book. It is not, in fact, a standard biography. The author has set out to tell the story of the existence of this great man, starting from an unusual angle. He took as a reference point that John Paul II has recognized that "Bishop dressed in white "which is discussed in the Third Secret of Fatima.
This belief of the Pope, the author points out, the outlook shocking. The secret, in fact, was given by the Virgin to the three Portuguese children July 13, 1917, three years before Karol Wojtyla came to the world. Then, Our Lady spoke to him, knew him, knew he would become Pope when Karol Wojtyla was not designed by her parents. What an absurd, crazy, for those who do not believe. To believers, however, suggests a view of history and the complications of this man from addentellati drugs that enter the "quota", ie the temporal reality. Starting
from this observation, the existence of Wojtyla is placed in a historical and spiritual events worldwide, such as that outlined in the prophecies and in the Message of Fatima, and that relates more to the ideology of atheistic materialism of Marxism, that Soviet Communism , the spread of the errors of Communism in the world, with the persecution of the Church and the martyrdom of millions of believers. But then you get to the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (created by John Paul II in 1984 but that the Madonna had asked in 1929) and the consequent sudden fall of communist regimes, and the new course of history that should, according to the promise Virgin, which resulted in the end, "a period of peace. " The protagonist of these events, Karol Wojtyla. Declared a hero three years before his birth, with the expectation of a fundamental mission for the salvation of humanity. But to achieve it, he has had to deal with the forces of evil, who tried to prevent it by all means.
And the author of the book documents how the existence of Wojtyla was a series of "attacks" that have threatened his life and his vocation. At least four or five times young Wojtyla is incorporated in an accident in which it would have to die and saved in a mysterious way, "miraculously". In 1981, then came the attack in St. Peter's Square that has "suggested" the real key to the existence of this man.
The book is therefore a real biography of John Paul II. But, viewed in the light of these "possibilities" and these "mysterious coincidences", the story is enhanced by a breath and a really unusual and exciting interpretation, and raises questions and reflections very demanding. Stanislaw Dziwisz, who was the faithful secretary of Pope John Paul II and is now the new Cardinal Archbishop of Krakow, about the argument in this book, the author wrote: <
Monsignor Mario Rizzi, archbishop, a distinguished Latin scholar, Apostolic Nuncio, gave the book a very enthusiastic feedback: <
