Summary/Abstract: 27 years of John Paul II pontificate convinced the world that love, sacriface, forgiveness and openess towards the people of all races, religions, of all ages is still possible in the world of conflicts, wars and crisis. John Paul II used all his gifts, particularly words and gestures which in case of former actor were used in the best possible way. It was obvious since the very first day of his service. Regarding the language (words) of the Pope we can discover that he never commanded, but asked people to do something good. He wished the people the best, realizing that the wish is the best way to show his good will and express that it is the best way to communicate all believers. John Paul II was the master in media. He was very natural, smiling, blessing-andall of this was very sincere. And even now, since his death and at present time, after his beatification he is alive in people‘s minds and thoughts.
