John Paul II and Travels with Saints
Today (April 2, 2006) is the one-year anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II. As most of us know, immediately after his death, shouts of "Santo Subito" were heard throughout St. Peter's square. The cry of the gathered crowd indicated the belief among them that John Paul was a holy man and worth of immediate sainthood.
For those of you who might particularly interested in the lives of the saints throughout Italy, I would recommend Lucinda Vardey's Traveling with the Saints in Italy: Contemporary Pilgrimages on Ancient Paths.
The book proves valuable for providing itineraries that take in the places where saints tread. For those who might be interested in the spiritual side, Vardey also gives some direction connected to each saint's way of life. The book, though at times lacking good editing, is useful for tracing the lives and trails of these unique individuals.
