00:00 What is the most important thing for young people when it comes to teaching John Paul II?
00:04 John Paul II was a man who met other men and noticed other men.
00:09 Many people who met John Paul II always believed and said that they listened, looked at them, saw their lives.
00:17 And today, when we have a world engulfed in war and hatred,
00:23 we would like people to introduce more peace and trust into their relationships,
00:28 so that they can look at each other with love and empathy.
00:32 And this is what John Paul II teaches us.
00:35 And we strongly believe that only in this way can we become the beginning of peace in our families,
00:42 in our school, in our parish, in our city.
00:45 And in this way, Christians, students, can become the beginning of peace in the world.
00:51 The openness of language learning is also very important, which the priest also mentioned today.
00:56 John Paul II, wherever he went, spoke to people in their own language.
01:00 And he knew that this message would be more readable, that it would be more understandable.
01:04 And he can become an inspiration for his students not to give up on language learning,
01:08 because only by communicating in a foreign language, I am able to get to know another person,
01:13 build a bridge with a foreigner.
01:16 And only educated people, those who have knowledge, who have something to say, are our future.
01:22 Because only they will be able to accept people from different parts of the world into our environment
01:28 and build a community with them.
01:30 This day actually begins on Sunday.
01:33 Then, 45 years ago, it was also Monday, it was sunny and everything.
01:38 I remember that on Sunday lunch, without big calculations, I assumed with my father
01:45 that a Pole can become a pope.
01:48 I was thinking about Karol Wójtyla, but there was no certainty.
01:55 And when this evening message came, I found out about it in Śrębska Fara.
02:01 Running home, I say, "Well, it's a bet, a bet won by my dad."
02:06 I waited for my dad to come back at 10.30 p.m. after the second shift.
02:10 And then my dad also told me that all afternoon, then in the evening, I thought I had won this bet.
02:17 is that quite?
