"In the footsteps of John Paul..."

People keep asking me about "that TV programme about St John Paul".  You can  now order a DVD here... It will take you to Krakow, to Jasna Gora, to Wadowice "where it all began", and to the great new Divine Mercy shrine...oh, and it'll give you a preview of the vast "Do Not Be Afraid!" pilgrimage centre and basilica, which the world will see when vast crowds of young people gather for World Youth Day in 2016...and you'll find out about JP's wartime life, his introduction to the "Living Rosary", his spiritual mentor in a Krakow suburb, the rooms he occupied as a student in the war years and then again as Archbishop in the 1970s...and much, much more.

And, just to clarify things - my recent trip to Poland was to produce a follow-up programme for EWTN, focussing on St JP's teachings and message. Filming was hard work, but deeply satisfying, and the next stage involves editing and checking...lots still to be done...

Working on all of this has been a great adventure. Now you can start to share it with me...
