I have to write a speech on a notable person and I picked Pope John Paul II, I'm having problems writing my opening paragraph, I'm supposed to start with a good catchy opener but I can't think of anything that would catch my audiences attention good.. I was thinking maybe a quote from pope john Paul II, does anyone have any other ideas or maybe know a quote I could use from him or about him

You might include this beautiful story about a priest in Rome who asked the pope to pray for a fellow priest who had left the priesthood, later despaired and became a homeless vagrant there in Rome. John Paul II had the priest arrange a meeting. When the former priest showed up at the Vatican in his rags, the Holy Father asked him to hear his confession. This so overwhelmed the former priest that he got his act together and returned to the priesthood.

Try talking about an interesting or weird thing that John Paul did that most people do not know about, and then relate it back to the overall point of the speech.

you may want to say Noted as Our Most Holy Lord, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the City State of the Vatican, Servant of the Servants of God Pope John Paul II.
That may help.

I think you should choose Nelson Mandela instead. He had a lot of cool quotes that you can get with a Google search. Nelson is cool.

Since he was the first Polish Pope - I'd use this one:
"I have a sweet tooth for song and music. This is my Polish sin. " JPII

Yes the man has performs numerous exorcisms why not write about one of them in third person, describing the person who is possessed and what he does to get rid of the evil?
