In the 1970s, you were more likely to fly a spacecraft from an alien land in your backyard, rather than Catholic President.
The era of regular Pope travel has not yet begun, but this is about to change.
In 1979, John Paul II When he received a two-page handwritten letter from Iowa farmer Joe Hays, he had planned his first trip to the United States as a pope, inviting him to visit the heart of the United States.

Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II: The dynamics of the Catholic two
John Paul II proved himself to be a man of a people – in more than one way.
Twenty years ago Wednesday, Holy Pope Ended his earthly pilgrimage. He died in the Vatican on April 2, 2005 at the age of 84.
Although it has been twenty years since John Paul’s death, there is still a lot of knowledge about human dignity, the infinite mercy of God, and the treasures of our faith.
During his reign of more than 26 years, the Polish Pope became the most popular person in history, visiting 129 countries, attracting as many as 7 million people at a time.

John Paul is undoubtedly one of the most influential world leaders of the 20th century. His legacy has been opened in dozens of books, and his influence will be discussed before the end of time. But the essence of this philosopher’s message is the inalienable dignity of everyone.
He wrote in 1995: “Respect for life requires that science and technology should always serve mankind and his overall development. The entire society must respect, defend and promote everyone, every moment, every moment in every life.”
To some extent, his respect for human dignity was shaped in some way during his growing up in Poland Second World War.
The first half of the 1900s saw the terrible world war and progressive parades of atheist communism, which caused bloodshed unparalleled in human history. In the second half of this century, the degradation of human dignity did not weaken. War, euthanasia, abortion and genocide helped to make the 20th century the bloodiest man in human history.
John Paul began his second year in college when Nazi Tanks entered Poland. He saw the inhumanity of mankind to man, a fire he lit under him to help restore the human truth created by God’s image and similarity.
He wrote in his encyclopedia, Humanae Vitae, that “every threat to human dignity and life must be felt in the heart of the church, “it cannot affect the core of her faith in the redemptive incarnation of the Son of God and involves her in her mission to declare the gospel of life in the world and every living being. ”
John Paul II – A Saint Before His Appearance
John Paul’s initiative is consistent with his efforts to re-declare the truth about human dignity Propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ To the world through “New Gospel”. He encouraged Catholics all over the world to join him, declare the gospel in new ways and use new ways to reach those who may have heard of Jesus.
New evangelism led to the rise of new Catholic media-TV and the Internet, podcasts and online publications. The Pope encouraged laymen to join him and told the world about the salvation power of Jesus Christ.
“As a Catholic layman, you have important moral and cultural contributions to your country’s life,” he said in a speech in San Francisco in 1987. “‘The entrusted people need a lot.’ These words of Christ apply not only to sharing material wealth or personal talents, but also to common faith.”
It can be argued that everything John Paul did in his purpose—his writing, preaching, world travel, his World Youth Day program and publishing the Catholic Church—is aimed at achieving this new evangelical preaching. After all, as Pope Paul VI said in 1975, “The church exists to preach the gospel.”
Young worshippers held candles, while Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass at Cherry Creek State Park in Denver in August 1993, with 375,000 congregations at Cherry Creek State Park in Denver as part of the World Youth Day celebration.
For the Polish Pope, this means helping people know Jesus Christ as the answer to their deepest desires and most disturbing questions, including their desire for love, happiness and meaning.
He told the pilgrims World Youth Day in Denver “Jesus came to create the ultimate answer for the desire for life and his heavenly Father’s desire to create our infinite influx into our infinite. At the climax of Revelation, the word of avatar declares, ‘I am life, I come, I come. But what is Jesus’ intention?
Where did John Paul II gain the power and wisdom to change the world? prayer.
As a pastor, bishop and pope, John Paul spent countless hours in prayer every day, rising before dawn and praying in his church. His daily work is far from routine. He wrote many letters, books and encyclopedias before the tabernacle.
John Paul can absorb Jesus the same way we absorb the light of summer. I totally believe that the less secret of his success is his prayer life. Can he also convey the depth of God’s love to millions of depths around the world in order to bring Jesus Christ closer to Jesus Christ?
Pope John Paul II left the unstained shrine of Our Lady in Washington, DC after Mass Sunday, October 7, 1979.
John Paul is said to be often popular with rock stars. Indeed, he is welcomed by the president, the prime minister, the king, the queen, the prince and the ordinary people far beyond any rock star’s imagination.
Most people Meet John Paul in person – Even among the crowd of up to 7 million, he thought he was talking directly to them.
This is also Iowa farmer Joe Hays.
John Paul told 1979 that people gathered at Hays’Farm said: “You are the steward of some of the most important resources God has given to the world. So, preserve this land so that your children and descendants will inherit more abundantly after them than they have been entrusted to you.”
