Bumper Sticker!

I recently saw this on the back of someone's car and I just thought I'd share it with you.

oooh! oooh!!! I've actually GOT this one!! I have it on the back of my pickup's camper shell... at eye level to the driver behind me.

Often, when I come out to my truck in the parking lot... I see someone walking really slowly past the back end of my truck... taking their time to think as they read what it is and what it means.

Once in a while, someone will tell me "hey! I like your bumper sticker!!"

And, oftentimes, I float a factoid... or two or three.. about B16. Such as where he was growing up and the Nazis took over that he was forced to become a Hitler Youth... while at the same time, in Poland, the one who became Pope Paul 2nd (whom we now call "the Great") was fighting the Nazis by writing plays that his friends and he would act in... in people's basements out of sight of the Nazis... to maintain the Polish culture at night while in the daytime was forced to work in a rock quarry (of course, I insert a little comment at that stage about "get it... Peter? Rock? BIG rock? Upon THIS Rock I will build My Church?").

And if they're still interested ... which, really, they always ARE... then I tell them briefly about World Youth Day, how John Paul 2 the Great had already declared a few years before he died where the youth of the world were invited to go to that particular city that the next WYD would be... and imagine, if you're now the Pope, and one of your very best friends who was the Pope whom you'd served for the last 25 years... living at the Vatican... and just a few months into your own papacy you had this WYD coming up... and it had already been being prepared for since the last WYD a few years ago... and... it was in your own home country/town!!

They let me write on a piece of scrap paper the URL for WYD, the Vatican.va... EWTN.com started by a cloistered nun in her convent's garage about 28 years ago with just $200 ... I tell them about how they can watch EWTN from their own computer.

I tell them about Catholic.com... and that you can listen to CA radio programs.. and, even better... that we have this wonderful, polite discussion board for Catholics and not-Catholics.

So many people are reached by this one bumper sticker!!

I got mine from a give-away at my local Catholic radio station. But mine doesn't have the wording at the bottom that tells where we can buy them online. Thanks!!!

I notice at this page that the Webmasters inform us about these having been seen on the backpacks all around Cologne's WYD!
