The late Pope John Paul II is rightly credited with being a world leader who affected history, but his role as spiritual leader and pastor to a faithful flock is addressed here in this highly laudatory personal essay. Peggy Noonan, who will forever be referred to as 'Reagan's speechwriter,' describes how John Paul's faith and strength were models for her, and how his exemplary presence helped her through a difficult period of her life. She also finds spiritual and intellectual comfort in his respect for tradition, and in his many messages about the value of the individual and of women.
