In this meditation for the feast of St. John Paul II (October 22), Fr. Leo Austin reflects on the gift of friendship with Christ, a friendship that shaped the life and mission of St. John Paul II. Drawing from the interactions of Peter and Christ in the Gospel, Fr. Leo reminds us that Jesus desires not servants but friends, and that holiness begins in this personal relationship of trust, loyalty, and love.
Through the witness of St. John Paul II, we are invited to rediscover the strength that comes from friendship with Christ which can help us conquer fear and renew the world with love.
Listen now to reflect on:
• How Jesus reveals the meaning of true friendship
• The witness of St. John Paul II as a friend of Jesus
• Overcoming fear through love and trust in Christ
• The transforming power of human friendship rooted in divine love
