His mother's death, when he was nine years old and his mother’s when he was twelve took the youth Karol Wojtyla to discover his spirit force , she writes and represents small plays. But Poland is occupied, on September 1, 1939, by armies Hitlerians armies. The youth enters the university and she enrolls at a theater school, but, little later he sees himself forced to work at a restaurant, later in a mine and to proceed in a chemistry factory for not being deported to Germany.
However, when twenty-one years old, he suffers his father’s and he,young man , whom the girls were fond of, for his good – looking figure, maybe confused with life that practically had stolen him the whole family and with the war that killed thousands of innocents, without any justification, decides to enter the clandestine seminar of Cracow, where he shows himself a brilliant student, a prodigious memory and a huge capacity to learn several languages.
At the age of 26 he is ordered priest, writes poetry books with Andrzej Jawien's pseudonym. In 1948 he takes a doctor’s degree in theology, in Rome. In 1951 he graduates in Philosophy. In 1958 it is named, by Paul VI, auxiliary bishop of Cracow. In 1960 he publishes the play “The Goldsmith's" Store”. Between 1962 and 1964 it participates in the Council of Vatican. In 1964 he becomes Archbishop of Cracow. In 1967 Cardinal is made. In 1969 he publishes “Fruity and Responsible Love” and "Sign of Contradiction." In 1971 he/she stands out in the second Synod (clergymen's assembly) consecrated to the ministerial priesthood where it defends the celibacy in the priesthood.
On October 16, 1978, and after of three days of Conclave (the cardinals' meeting who choose the Pope), Karol Wojtyla is the chosen with the name of John Paul II. He writes the encyclical (letter that the Pope sends to all bishops for explaining his thought as for the faith, to the cult and the government of the Church) "Redemptor Hominis." On May 13, 1981 he is seriously shot. In 1982 he suffers new attack without consequences. In 1984 he publishes the premonitory, apostolic letter, Salvifici Doloris on the meaning of the human suffering.

In 1996 it publishes "Tryptic Roman - Meditations."

John Paul II was aware, better than nobody that the writer is an impersonator of God and he when serving him in his Cathedra and when joining him more this talent of the spirit he was sure that God would be very happy.
To the service of God he put more 476 saints and 1320 blessed who will serve as middlemen in the prayers and requests to God and the Virgin.
John Paul II was a vigorous Pope. Sloping to take his task to the end at any rate. He would never turn his back on God nor the human being that lovingly served,
John Paul II was the Pope of the love and suffering. It had a narrow escape to the death in the World War II. He got rid of a clumsy Pakistani bomber whose grenade, that will throw, burst him in the own hands, of the shot attack from the lunatic's Ali Agca, from the paranoid Krohn dagger with the help of Our Lady of Fatima. But from fractures of the right shoulder and of the femur of the right leg to an intestinal tumour, to the Parkinson's disease and a tracheotomy everything suffered and it only left after having talked with God and accorded the hour of the elevation that went to 20 37 (Portuguese hour) 21 and 37 (Italian hour) of April 2, 2005.

WHEN WAKING UP

My dear John Paul II,
As a sunbeam
You enter my soul
And I talk with you.
The peace, the moderation, the understanding
They enter, with pleasure, my thought
And I can feel in me Your power
And the love that you spread through the world.
Your example is Divine light,
It is affection, courage, understanding
To understand everything around
It is now that You arrived to the Sky
I surrender to You and in the hands of God.

THE MESSENGER

My dear John Paul II,
You were the messenger of God
That came to this disturbed world
For selfishness, wars and violations
Of the most elementary of the human rights;
The right to life, to the work and well-being.
You sowed, again, the whole earth,
To remember the message of the God creator,
God incarnate our Lord
That granted you the same mission.
On returning to your Father's house
Belong to us as the messenger
And hear us whenever we call You.

TO THE VIRGIN MARY

My dear John Paul II,
That whot full of grace and kindness
Protected you under her mantle
Immaculate of purity, love and charity,
And now welcomes You in the arms of the eternity
It is also our hope.
It is for Her that I’m sending my love,
My thought and my desires
Deeper and anxious
For the world to be a valley of love
Of knowledge and of certainties.
For the Virgin Mary and through you
I ask for everyone her medicine.

WORK

My dear John Paul II,
Manage that it never lacks me the work.
And that be like You, tireless
In the work you supported.
You never stopped and so much insisted and you insisted
That you attained your goal
Manage that my willpower
Never break before the adversity
And You be my light, the example
That the human being everything can
When leaning on his the thought in God
Walks through, he earth, it flies through the Skies
And wins. And he is happy. And everything is attainable.

WILL

My dear John Paul II,
Since you were a child you educated the will
And to know how to take decisions
On your games.
You grew to knowing how to appreciate the knowledge,
The study, to the work, God.
Even across the Nazi occupation
Never you forgot your duties
As was what Your will indicated to you
An you never hesitated in obeying it.
Now that you ascended to the Skies
Look at me, give me willpower
To reach the well-being and the happiness.

STUDY

My beloved John Paul II,
Help me so that I know how to manage with my time
And like to learn what I am taught.
That the study be one of my passions.
I know that only who studies succeeds in life
And that the most unhappy and late people
Are the ignoramuses, the ones that don't learn
Because they prefer to play in when classes run..
You that always shone as a good student
Got even God’s favours
Because He saw as You were applied
In the study, and for that very reason
Blesses my thought John Paul II.

THE CHILDREN

My darling John Paul II,
Now that you flow into the sky
To speak with you is much easier.
And as You are an illuminated from God
I ask for You protection for my children
And so that I know how to educate them
Never authorizing them missing their classes
In order to reach a good goal in life
Without they haven’t to beg anything.
You know, the children are our passion,
Sometimes our blindness harms them
For so much we want to do them good.
Illuminate them, my saint, and protect them.

THE FAMILY

My sweetheart John Paul II,
My family is not always united.
There are discussions for trifles,
Per times nobody understands each other.
Everything is to argue.
Like this some are more important than others,
They think, the poor ignorant.
And I suffer of the same evil, my saint.
You that always went a Pope peacemaker
Of very serious conflicts
Could throw a small sign
Of good sense on these heads.
I thank you that you make it my love.

SOLITUDE

My adorable John Paul II,
I have a very sad life
I’am always pretty alone and abandoned.
Just nobody wants to know more of me.
The old age stopped having any value
And my advice have already tiny interest.
To who has computers and Internet
That he answers to everything they ask
Without hearing pieces of advice of the oldest.
Result: I abandon, solitude, sadness.
Therefore, I’m only longing for the day to leave
For the place where you are dwelling now.
Till then, please come round now and then.

ANGUISH

My dear John Paul II,
You has just barely arrived next to God
And already all run for You.
Your peace and rest will never come.
Here I am too.
I live in enduring anxiety.
I don't know what happens with me
That seems I agonize in life.
Happily I have been thinking a lot about You
And the way as you face suffering
Therefore only You with the blessing of the Virgin
Will be capable to stray this affliction.
Help my good friend John Paul II.

DISEASE

My dear John Paul II,
The diseases don't want to release me.
Today it hurts me an arm, tomorrow they are the backs
The other day are the kidneys. I don't rest.
And You that so much suffered
It was never heard a complaint from Your mouth.
But You had the stigmata of the sanctity.
You suffered Your calvary with resignation.
I don't get my understanding saint.
My pains become weeping
And only you can help me
As the doctors no longer know what to do.
Help me please, John Paul II.

INTELLIGENCE

My precious John Paul II,
In this trip that You do to the Skies
In order to speak to your pairs and with God
About the life that the humans take
Don't forget about the intelligence.
That ability to understand
What the others tell us
And power of discerning about the difficulties
That come up everyday
To test our capacities.
The intelligence grows with knowledge
The more we know, the more we comprehend.
I ask you to help us to be intelligent.

WAR

My adored John Paul II,
You that went through very difficult moments passed
Due to the men's stupidity
That make wars for greed and blindness,
And they try to enslave others on behalf of themselves.
You understood that only the sacrifice love
Would be capable to do the world.think.
You supported the cause of God
And you implored, you screamed, you ran through the world
Lifting the flag of the equality
Of love, of the understanding, of fraternity.
And is today you who defends us in the council of the Skies
I thank you and I love you John Paul II.

PEACE

My dear John Paul II,
You were the great messenger of peace.
And for who wanted to hear you, you proclaimed :
"The man was made to live in peace
With himself and with the others" ones
And you concluded Your idea:
There is nothing more contrary to the human
Nature that the wars among men"
But the men continue to violate
The love rules that God wrote
When creating whatever exists in the Universe.
It is to You that we pled again Holy Father.
Help God for Heto help the men.

THE INCONVENIENCES OF LIFE

My beloved John Paul II,
Before Your courage and Your suffering
Nobody should be entitled to complaining.
But the human being is exactly like that.
Wants always somebody to aid him
In any kind of annoyance.
It is what happens to me, my saint.
I ask for your help with embarrassment,
Because I know everything through what you passed,
But now you are well, by God,
And I don't resist to disturb you. You forgive.
I need You, my love, my saint,
It recommends me to God and the Virgin.

THE ENVY

My dear John Paul II,
Excuse to disturb you,
But I know that you don't care
And even you like to help in the afflictions
More trivial and insignificant.
The envy has been attacking me lately
And I don't get to straighten my life.
Whatever I earn, whatever waste
Without well know how and why.
The businesses stopped running
And I feel that the envy haunted me.
I ask for you help my dear saint
And I thank you for whatever you can do.

THE PLOTS

My dear John Paul II
I have been living a life very afflicted
With the plots and the intrigues
In that I have been envolved.
The people don't have nothing more to do
Than getting in other’s way.
It is a sign that their life is going wrong
And to compensate their frustrations
They point out the other for not discovering them.
But this cannot continue. It hurts.
It helps not to give any importance
To what doesn't matter, and teaches the ignoramuses.
Excuse the inconvenience, and thank you my saint.

THE WASTE

My dear John Paul II,
Per times my children destroy so much
That it is a crime in a so difficult life.
But I don't know how to avoid these expenses
When the children demand more and more.
But my affliction is still larger
When I know that in the world many people die of hunger
And they millions of food tons are thrown
In the garbage for not lowering the prices.
My confusion is very big
Because God should not allow this.
But at home is the same.
Are we all crazy? Help me, my saint.

THE EXPERIENCE

My darling John Paul II,
You entered the house of the fisherman
As if always you there had lived
And as if you knew what to do.
Just as Christ you had to learn
In your birthplace the men's rules;
Like them they grow, they learn and they work.
Your experience was the Divine Light
That it illuminated the whole Holy See.
And before the general fright
Changed a simple Cardinal
In the largest Man of God and faith.
That Your example falls oer me.

THE FEAR

My dear John Paul II,
I that got scared of everything
I started to not to have fear of anything
When I heard You:
"Don’t be afraid, I open the doors to Christ"
That scream sounded the hope.
That your exemplary words
Spoke much more than many altars
Where God is sacrificed alive
As the sweet lamb is immolated
Before the indifferent glance of the crowd.
Your words cut me the fear
And I went to God by Your hand.

RACES

My dear John Paul II,
My color is black as pitch
But it was this the color that God gave me
And I feel happy for being like this.
Your words, Your visits
To the African continent and South - American south
More came to confirm that Your acts
Were the expression of Your huge will
Of uniting all races and creeds
Under a single God and of the Virgin Mary.
You almost reached Your purpose
And for that I thank You for my conversion
To the Catholic faith and its kingdom of kindness.

FREEDOM

My dear John Paul II,
You were Pope of the Freedom.
You struggled for her with boldness and determination
And the human being felt freer.
He understood that Christ's mission
He was being accomplished when His Church
He struggled for freedom and equality.
That your courage gave to think
It is so I knew that he had rights too
In spite of the capacities are not big.
Big only my will of working
To reach the freedom that the money gives
And the Church blesses. Thank you John Paul II.

DIGNITY

My dear John Paul II,
You were the herald of the human dignity.
For the human being you were dirtied
Almost shot dead and for the Virgin saved.
You never lost the dignity,
Nor a tear, a revolt word.
You behave as a Man of God in the fullness
And for Him YOU DID the largest miracle:
You joined all the peoplesof the world.
Indian, Arab, Tibetan, Jewish
And all their complex religions.
And for all this Your greatness
You were the largest pride of the Europeans.

PARDON

My dear John Paul II,
Ask for forgiveness to God for our lacks
And tell him that You everything did
So that this world got better.
I am witness of that fact
And more of half of the world too.
But it is You that I ask for forgiveness
For my committed sins
For the unconsciousness in that I have been living,
For the mistakes that harmed others
For the times that I didn't think before speaking
For the love that I didn't get to understand.
Pardon John Paul II. My friend pardon

RESURRECTION

My dear John Paul II,
When in the day of doomsday
The resurrection of the blesseds
You will be beside God
As one of the honoured
But I believe that You were the image
Of God of our Lord. Jesus Christ
That chose You as His ambassador
For once again to sow the love
In this world where nobody understands each other.
You spoke all the languages of the Earth
And in all you made understand yourself.
Therefore I pr You as messenger of God.

THE HAPPINESS OF THE LIFE

My dear John Paul II,
You are the happiness of the life and its justification.
Even suffering, you smiled and you loved.
For all you spoke as brother.
With you the nations smiled too
Confident in Your altruistic help.
And You, just as the wise sower,
You spread the word, the work and the prayer.
How I would like to have Your joyfulness
For also to distribute love
For whom surrounds me, who lives with me.
It helps me to know to smile John Paul II
Help me to feel cheerful with life.

THE PILGRIM

My dear John Paul II,
You were the pilgrim of the world
That ran to evangelize the people
That forgotten of the Creator's word
They lost the sense of the fraternity
And they chose the selfishness as God.
You neither saved steps nor words
And just as São Paulo you went to preach
In the middle of who forgets of loving
His fellow creature and of accomplishing obligations
For the balance of the world and stability.
Thank you Holy Father that you ed to the Skies
And now you present Your report to God.

GOD'S LIGHT

My dear John Paul II,
Now that you are beside God,
In that dream throne and thought
In that the spirit diffuses
And it is called for who needs
Manage that life be ruled by the honesty
Of all of the human beings
And nobody be deceived
Or be induced in mistake deliberately.
Protect me my dear Holy Father
And don't leave that I do badly intentionally.
It puts inside of me the light of God
And I am a reflex of the light of the Skies.

THE RELIGION OF LOVE

My dear John Paul II,
With you the religion won new forces
Because you preached the religion of the love,
Of the charity, of the peace, of the prosperity.
Christ's original purity
He/she was always in your acts and words.
The paths of the sanctity were opened
And everyone understood the message.
Kings and presidents of different religions
Rendered you felt homage
Because God was always at Your side.
In the same way I won't forget You
And to the Virgin for You I’ll pray.


DIRECT INTERCESSION

My dear John Paul II,
You got to gather millions of people
Of different races and very different creeds.
Your charisma and communication power
Stroke everywhere on intoevery heart
That now is with you personally.
You are an attentive and listener spirit
To who we fearless to ask
Your intercession before the Virgin.
You identify us one by one
And for that I ask You my Holy Father,
To hear the request I have to do.
Thank you and excuse the daring.

BEFORE FALLING ASLEEP

My dear John Paul II,
With you I calmly fall asleep
Because I think of You and with you I discuss
What happened during the day
And I prepare the following day in peace.
Then we speak about other subjects
And I feel that Your trip in the Skies
It is a new preparation with God
In order to the world live in peace and safety.
The stillness came back to all hearts
You knew how to unite all the confessions.
And that does that we have earnings trust
In You and in the protection that you grant us.
