TRINIDAD and TOBAGO
Blessed John Paul II was a pilgrim here in 1985, during his 25th apostolic journey:
"Permit me to say a few words to the youth of Trinidad and Tobago. When I think of you and of all the other young people round the world, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and hope. I see in your eyes the bright promise of tomorrow, for the future of society belongs to you. And you begin to shape that future now, by the choices you make, by the attitudes you form, by the values you choose to live by - or to ignore. As you step forward to assume responsibility, let your hearts be brave. Put your confidence in God who made you and who loves you. Dare to reach out to others in hope and in trust, and, joining hands and hearts in friendship, help to build a better world."

"I just think that Christ was so wonderful, that even at his most vulnerable during the time of his greatest pain, he was still thinking of us and giving us a mother. When I'm in my darkest moments, I just come and be at Mary's feet and I know that she went through all this pain too and if you want empathy, she's the fountain of empathy. It's a privilege to know that we have not only a father, we have also a mother who was purely human but she was also perfect, so she's I guess the absolute role model for us."

"I have seen Mary working in my life, throughout. Any time I can pray the rosary and I know that she is there looking after me and guiding me. And this year I had the great privilege of getting married on the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which was a real blessing and we had such a great time and it was such a privilege to know that she was there, praying for us."

"To me the Eucharist is the source of all that is good about our faith. It's the actual presence of Jesus. It's what distinguishes my faith from other Christian faiths, where I have Jesus in this most powerful way - ministering to me, loving me, being there for me, being in conversation with me, almost sometimes even a physical experience of closeness to him, and even healing, complete and utter healing where I can open up my heart to him about anything. Things that I hide maybe from other people or from the world, I can't hide from Jesus and He just sort of gets into that place deep within my heart, deep within my being, and He restores and He revives and He consoles and He loves me; I feel his tremendous presence, his tremendous love."

Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt.
Accipio te in mea omnia. Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria. - St Louis de Montfort
Blessed John Paul II took his motto Totus Tuus from this quote.
"I am totally yours and all that I have is yours.
I accept you for my all. O Mary, give me your heart.”
