At the relics of St. John Cantius, in the academic church of St. Anne in Krakow,
university life has flourished for generations. Knowledge and wisdom seek to enter into a covenant with holiness.

John Paul II, October 20, 1982, Vatican City, general audience

In the year of the 550th anniversary of the death of St. John Cantius,  I wish you that this Christmas and the New Year of 2024 be a union of knowledge and faith with the sanctity of life and fidelity to God's law, especially the law of love. May, through the intercession of the Professor Saint the Saviour of the world, born in Bethlehem bestow His graces, health and hope for the future.
