365 Days of Inspiration (Boston,

2003). 365 pages.
A
hard cover book, beautiful in layout, color, and
message, Spiritual Advice from John Paul
II is a gift one gives to oneself or
another. Each page reveals a
quote from our beloved Pope, a kernel of
wisdom and love to tide one through the day.
The reflections are short but deep with
meaning. Consider these:
The risen Christ returns among us with the
fullness of joy and with overflowing
richness of life. Hope becomes
certainty, because if Christ has conquered
death, we too can hope to triumph one day in
the fullness of time, in the period of the
final contemplation of God. (March 23)
Through prayer, you will learn to become
light of the world, because in prayer you
become one with the source of our true
light, Jesus himself. (June 5)
Jesus has a unique relationship with every
person, which enables us to see in every
human face the face of Christ. (August 6)
God made us for joy. God is joy and
the joy of living reflects the original joy
that God felt in creating us. (December 2)
What a gift, to be able to probe the heart
of our beloved Pope John Paul II and reflect
with him each day on the love of God!
