The Papa Luciani Messenger
. . . is the title of the new Yahoo Group for admirers of Pope John Paul I that I have just set up.
The reason for the name? Well, given Papa Luciani’s great humility, he probably wouldn’t accept any Yahoo group with his name in the title. “I am God’s postman - I am just the messenger,” he often said. I’m sure that he would be happy only with a group that was called “The Message of Jesus Christ” — because that what he cared about more than anything in the world — with his name, if it occurred at all, way down at the bottom. Well, I tried to bow to his imagined wishes as best I could in the title.
I am working to build up the group and the site and I have already posted a Word document of one of my latest translations of Papa Luciani’s writings, “Psalm 130: Priestly Humility” (on the left of the home page under “Files.”) Check it out!
Papa Luciani is the messenger, Jesus Christ is the message!
