He taught us how to live and die

Pope John Paul II not only taught us to live but also how to die in dignity.

"The teaching of Pope John Paul II about sickness and death came not only from his speeches, addresses, and encyclicals. He instructed just as convincingly with the witness of his own faith in the face of injury, suffering, hospitalization, illness and dying. He gave this catechesis for years." POPE JOHN PAUL II: DYING WITH DIGNITY, By the Reverend J. Daniel Mindling, O.F.M. Cap.
