The first section is a biography of sorts about his life growing up, his priesthood all the way leading up to his election as Pope after JP1 passed away (and predicted that the next one would be JP2, like this guy told the cardinals they would choose again very soon). This memoir/biography about JP2 is split in to two main sections while just being divided into chapters. This book, His Five Loves, shows exactly why this 5 year waiting period was waived. But his successor, Pope Benedict XVI, decided to waive this waiting period and the process had begun. Now typically, for those of you who don’t know, the canonization process normally does not begin until at least 5 years after the person in question has passed on. JP2 was so beloved and so holy during his life that just weeks after his death, the masses were already calling for his canonization to sainthood. A story about one of the greatest Popes & Saints of our time. Rekindle your own faith by learning what (and who) captivated the heart of this great saint.Īctual Review: Where to even begin?
