| POPE JOHN PAUL II "Building up the Body of Christ" Pastoral Visit to the United States Hardback Book Edited and Illustrated by the National Catholic News Service Over 220 pages with MANY color photos of Pope John Paul II Copyright © 1987 by National Catholic News Service " Within moments of his arrival at Miami International Airport, Pope John Paul II set forth in clear terms the purpose of his second pastoral visit to the United States, a 10-day tour that would take him across a vast expanse of diversity into nine dioceses. "I come to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all those who freely choose to listen to me; to tell again the story of God's love in the world; to spell out once more the message of human dignity, with its inalienable human rights and its inevitable human duties," he said in an arrival speech which was nationally televised. "I come here as a pastor.... I come as a friend." He called himself a pilgrim in the cause of justice and peace and human solidarity - striving to build up the one human family."
