The Holy Father arrived here in Krakow last night, and addressed the thousands of youth who gathered under the "papal wondow" at the Archbishop's Palace.
At this very moment, the Holy Father is in Wadowice, and has just visited the home and parich church of the young Karol Wojtyla.
What greater confirmation of the holiness of John Paul the Great, than the Holy Father himself coming to visit and "follow in his footsteps."
The official sign on the market square in Wadowice says, "John Paul II the Great." Unbelievable.
I think any long reflection will have to wait, but I will keep you all updated. Pictures are forthcoming!

I saw Benedict's arrival in Krakow on the Polish television interactive site yesterday. It's too bad EWTN didn't pick up on it because it was an amazing thing to see.
The look on Benedict's face when he came to the window was priceless. He looks like he's having the time of his life in Poland.
Yes, he had the time of his life. He wanted to some to "strengthen his own faith," and I think that the Polish youth, i particular, helped him to do that. It was an absolutley amazing visit, which, according to some newspaper headlines, "won over the hearts of the Poles."
