Alice, from London: "John Paul II is a very important saint for me because he was really one of the people that inspired me to become a Catholic (I'm a convert from the Anglican Church). I think when you look at him you can see the joy that the Catholic faith brings, in his humility and his wisdom and also his humour. I think in his love of the arts he just showed to me what it is to be Catholic, that it is so rooted in joy and also rooted in Christ. He obviously had an incredibly difficult life, living under the Nazis and under the Communists, but he really showed what the purpose of life is, in amidst that suffering. He upheld the dignity of people in his country, but also throughout the world. He continued to do that throughout his pontificate, especially in upholding the dignity of the unborn and the very ill. And the end of his life was a witness to that because he was so frail, but just by his example of carrying on in that frailty he showed that everyone is loved by God and everyone is valued. And that was an incredible witness and it really inspired me to throw myself into the Church wholeheartedly." Music by Mike Mangione.
