It is not wrong to want to live better;

what is wrong is a style of life which is presumed

to be better when it is directed towards ‘having’

rather than ‘being,’

and which wants to have more,

not in order to be more

but in order to spend life in enjoyment

as an end in itself.

Pope John Paul I was born Albino Luciani in 17 October 1912 in the province of Veneto region in Italy.

He became the Head of the Catholic Church and Sovereign of the Vatican City on 26 August 1978 and died 33 days later.

His reign is the shortest in papal history.

He was declared a Servant of God by John Paul II on 23 November 2003. Pope Francis named him Venerable on 8 November 2017 and is scheduled to preside over the beatification process on 4 September 2022.

 

                                

 

In his short time, John Paul I had endeared himself to the world for his gentle charm, his humility, and his simple and practical approach to the awesome responsibility of being the Vicar of Christ on earth. His election had raised the hopes of millions - he was a man of such radiant friendliness and obvious humanity that the atmosphere of vitality and hope that he brought to the Vatican had set the world aglow. By Popluar acclaim he quickly became known as 'the smiling Pope'.
