On the heels of Pope Benedict XVI’s declaration of Pope John Paul II’s life of “heroic virtue,” Catholic News Agency features a terrific interview with the Supreme Knight of the KOC, Carl Anderson.
Anderson has long studied JP II and discusses how the late Pope’s life provides tremendous meaning to us today, well after his death. The Supreme Knight also reflects on the Pope’s public suffering and the importance of salvific suffering as a part of our Catholic faith and tradition.

John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter – Salvifici Doloris – was a moving dissertation on the true meaning of suffering to form union with Christ. As we celebrate the birth of our savior this Christmas, we also remember John Paul II and all of those who may be suffering this Christmas season — that they can come to realize that their suffering has meaning. May we pray that in their suffering and struggles more come to realize the saving power of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
