John Paul once stated, "If I had not become Pope, no one would have paid any attention to my poetic writings." (Man of the Millennium, page 19). As a matter of fact, several themes and theses contained in his poetry and drama evolved into later pontifical works, such as: Job into the encyclical The Christian Meaning of Human Suffering, Our God’s Brother (the story of Br. Albert of Poland) into his work On the Mercy of God and The Jeweler’s Shop into what has become one the greatest contributions to twenty-century theology, The Theology of the Body. Tied to these last two titles is his book, Love and Responsibility, published in 1960 with its innovative presentation of sexual love.
