>John Paul II: Remove the Bullet – Not My Scapular!
As everyone knows, His Holiness John Paul II was shot in Saint Peter’s Square on 13 May, 1981 – the anniversary of Our Lady’s first apparition at Fatima.
Just before doctors were about to begin surgery in order to remove the embedded bullet, the Holy Father regained consciousness and instructed the doctors “do not remove my scapular” during the operation. John Paul II was, after all, Totus Tuus in his devotion to the Mother of God.
Beautiful story.
