Bullet Holes in Pope St. John Paul II's Undershirt



"Hanro," made in Switzerland, size 9.  The red cotton initials "JP" stitched by Polish sisters.  Three holes in the abdomen.  Blood and antiseptic stains.  What difficult times we live in.  It was very painful to pray before this relic.  My heart ached.  The Church has much to suffer.

  1. Ma come? Giovanni Paolo II non stava per morire dissanguato? Eppure c'è così poco sangue sulla canottiera? Siamo sicuri sia una reliquia "originale"?
