R.M.F. Magazine Player spotlight: Kyle Edison 6’3 (G) (2023/12th) (Pope John Paul II) Respect Factor: Edison showed that his ability to get to the basket at will and hit mid range jumpers throughout the day was second to none. Scores the ball well & has a real knack for being in the right scoring position. High level competitor, High level Motor. Great court vision for a tremendous scorer. Development Process: Need to improve long range shooting #RMFMagazine #TheMovement #WeAreTheMovement #Monroe #Dade #Broward #PalmBeach #BattleForTheRankings #BattleForTheRankingsCamp #PopeJohnPaulII https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUjjPAu7-R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

JOHN PAUL II & MEHMET ALI AGCA

POPE JOHN PAUL II became pope in 1978.

In 1981 John Paul II survived an assassination attempt. The assassin Mehmet Ali Agca was born in Turkey & in 1979 he murdered newspaper editor Abdi Ipekci & got life in prison. He escaped with the help of the militant group the Grey Wolves & fled.

            He went to Rome in 1981 and met up with three others. On 31 May 1981 two of the men sat in St Peter's Square & when the pope arrived in an open car to address the crowd. Mehmet shot at him four times which hit him in the intestine, finger & arm. Two ppl in the crowd were also wounded. The crowd grabbed Mehmet and Oral was able to escape. The pope was rushed to hospital, was operated on & survived.

            At the trial Mehmet behaved irrationally, he was ranting and claimed he was Jesus Christ. He later said he targeted the pope because he believed the pope was 'the incarnation of all that is capitalism.' He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

            In 1983 the pope went to speak to him privately. In 2000, the Italian president had him pardoned & he returned to Turkey to complete his sentence for murder. He was released in 2006.

            For security measures, the Pope started to appear in public in a bullet proof cart, the 'popemobile'. The pope died in 2005, aged 84 from poor health.

            In 2008 Mehmet requested to become a Polish citizen because he wanted to visit the popes tomb & wanted to partner up with Dan Brown on writing a book. In 2010 aged in his 50s he was found unfit for military service for having "antisocial personality disorder". In 2013 his memoirs were published and he visited the popes tomb in 2014.

            In 2016 he expressed interest in becoming a Catholic priest. Today he lives in Turkey & has no regrets of shooting the pope, as he believes it was part of a 'divine' plan.

Frases de #SãoJoãoPauloII para nós: . "Caros jovens, só Jesus conhece o vosso coração e os vossos anseios mais profundos. Só Ele, que vos amou até a morte (cf. Jo 13, 1) é capaz de saciar as vossas aspirações. As suas palavras são de vida eterna, palavras que dão sentido à vida. Ninguém, senão Jesus, poderá dar-vos a verdadeira felicidade" . "Fazeis resplandecer a luz de Cristo em vossas vidas! Não esperéis por ser mais idosos, para vos empenhardes no caminho da santidade! A santidade é sempre jovem, como eterna é a juventude de Deus" . "Queridos jovens, ide com confiança ao encontro de Jesus, e, como os novos santos, não tenhais medo de falar d'Ele! Porque Cristo é a resposta verdadeira para todas as perguntas sobre o homem e seu destino" . "Jovens de todos os continentes, não tenhais medo de ser os santos do novo milênio!" . São João Paulo II, amigo da juventude, rogai por nós. . #JoãoPauloII #PopeJohnPaulII #santidade #Papa #Santo #SantosJá #ilustração #illustration #illustrator #inktober2020 #drawing #doodles #painting #artedigital #digitalart #art #sketch #desenho #dubujo #ink #creative #artoftheday #graphic #católico #catholic #fé #esperança #amor #Pax https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpRnc4DGX0/?igshid=1d60g2i3o8tuz

This is Immaculate Conception Convent Chapel earlier today, with its front steps flanked by golden angels. In 1969, the then-Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (#PopeJohnPaulII) celebrated Mass there during a visit to Felician College, which was founded by an order of nuns originally from Poland. My maternal grandparents are buried at St. Michael’s Cemetery next door. My Polish grandmother wanted a burial plot under a tree near the Felician Sisters’ convent... figuring the nuns would often look out at the tree and direct their prayers in her direction. During my visit today, I was saddened to see that the tree was cut down long ago and only its stump remains. #njchurcheverysunday ⛪️ (at Lodi, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3k8AqrHfVG/?igshid=1b19pric31rpw
