EXTRAORDINARY ENCOUNTER
|
During the Holy Father’s second pilgrimage to Poland,
John Paul II met Catherine briefly at the Katowice Cathedral
Catherine Szymon was in the
Cathedral, sitting then on a small low folding chair. The Holy Father rose to
approach the sick, knowing nothing of
Catherine Szymon’s presence in the Cathedral he went straight towards her and
knelt. I moved about three metres away so as not to overhear their
conversation. Next the Holy Father went to
meet the sick, and on returning, he approached Catherine Szymon again, once
again bent his knee and offered her beads and various pictures. They spoke
again, but I don’t know what about as I again moved away.
