EDUARDO WITH THE POPES
The encounters with the Popes were certainly very important moments in his life. They were great meetings of joy. Eduardo trembled and emitted joy through his pores, like a child that allows all the joy of his soul to overflow. Eduardo Bonnín was received on two occasions by Pope John Paul II and once by Pope Benedict XVI. In 1985, Eduardo was received for the first time by Pope John Paul II, during his participation in the Italian National Ultreya. In 2000, at the III World Ultreya, he was received for the second time by John Paul II. In 2006, he was welcomed by Pope Benedict XVI during his participation in the General Assembly of the Pontifical Council for the Laity, held in Rome from September 21-23, 2006, in which he presented the theme: “The Contribution of Cursillos in Christianity in the Renewal of the Parish.” (click here for more)
