Commented on EWTN clip on World Youth Day (WYD):
I saw St. JP2 at WYD Denver 1993 and again in WYD Toronto in 2002. He was more beautiful than ever in 2002. At WYD 2002, I proposed to my now-wife at Our Lady's Chapel in St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto while African bishops were celebrating Mass that morning in the background. We later left to be with the Pope, and I was elated that she said yes. Before flying to WYD Toronto, I got my now-wife's parents blessing, a ring, and a blessing from my pastor who later married us. We stayed in separate rooms and didn't live together until we were married in the Church. We've been in Holy Matrimony for 22 years now, and I've been in Holy Orders (Diaconate) for 11 years raising 8 children (& 3 miscarriages of our little ones in God's merciful arms). I owe alot to the World Youth Days. Im proud JP2 Generation. Thank you for posting this. All for Jesus and Mary!
