I was there ..my faith wasn't on fire like it is now ...but amazingly I remember his visit and certain moments of it...and I thank God that I got a chance to see a pope of his church in my lifetime

ReplyDeletePope John Paul II was canonized this past Sunday April 27, 2014 day of the Divine Mercy. We attended the mass at Laguna Seca back on September 17, 1987. We took some pictures. Manuel I wanted to ask you if you attended this mass by any chance and if so, did you take any pictures?
