Introduction

\"Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ.\" Those words were a part of Pope John Paul II's timeless first address after being named the Holy Father. Through my homilies, talks, and lectures, here presented, it is my hope to continue that same work that John Paul II dedicated himself to so many years ago.

As a priest, I seek to bring others closer to God as a humble instrument, and pray that I can, in some small way, continue to resonate that very same theme that John Paul II begun his papacy with.

Therefore, what he has said, I say to you: \"Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ!\"
