Fr. John Eckert joins Patrick to discuss St. John Paul II 
Who was John Paul II
(17:13) Megan - I was fortunate to go to Rome shortly after 9/11. There was a special Mass at the Vatican with JPII. The Mass had widows and widowers from 9/11. Europe was reaching out and consoling America. I was dealing with infertility, got back from the trip and shortly after, conceived our first child.

(20:24) Break 1
How did John Pul II help with fear
(26:02) Len - I met him 2 times during World Youth Day. Just had a lot of love from him. I call him St. John Paul the Great. He's someone who was part of my life (I'm 73). Beautiful duirng the Terri Schiavo experience.
Randy - I was at the Mass in Chicago in '79. I was young and it was very moving. I've never had a more uplifting experience.
(33:47) Chuck - I met him and kissed his ring at World Youth Day in 1993. I was blessed to be a sacristan for the Mass. He wanted to meet everyone who was part of the Mass. Looked in his eyes and never felt more love.

(38:49) Break 2
(40:56) Peter - The night before he was attacked, I had a dream that the Pope was attacked. I woke up and was horrified. Early on in the morning, they broke the news that he had been attacked. Since then, I've had close ties with him and have experienced several miracles.
Barbara - In 1981, we were at his Mass and where he was shot. Got within inches of touching him.
(48:48) Sederica - Grew up with him. Remember when he was elected. Were shocked that he wasn't Italian (I'm Italian). When he died, I got married and 6 months later, my husband got cancer. I remember praying to him. Hadn't been beatified yet. Woke up and asked him to save my husband. Offered a job at JPII Shrine in DC and talked about his life to visitors.
