John Paull II: Provider of hope in pain and suffering

Abstract

Saint Pope John Paul II focused on the question about Man and the defense of his dignity, he made an effort to establish a solid and meaningful teaching on the reality of the human being. He knew pain and suffered in many moments of his life, and as a philosopher, theologian and pastor, showed his preoccupation in most of his encyclicals in which he tried to transmit, throughout his pontificate, the faith of the Catholic Church gathering the teaching of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Tradition. Through a revision of the encyclicals that he wrote, we show how the Holy Father evidences, above all, a deep interest that the man of today understands himself and in this way, comprehends the dynamics of pain, in order to not despair in difficult times but live in hope and thus fill his life with meaning
