Recognizing them as key to understanding his relationship to God, others, and himself, and that they might be critical to his beatification process, the Pope’s personal secretary, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz gave them to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
For the first time, readers can glimpse the intimate spiritual life of the late pope-saint. The book contains notes from his spiritual retreats (1962- 2003), unveiling John Paul II’s deep spiritual life and references to personalism, his deep love for the Blessed Mother, his thoughts, worries, meditations, reflections, hopes, and prayers.
