Paulina Guzik @Guzik_Paulina - Video: Pope John Paul II was shot on St. Peter's Square 45 years ago, on May 13, 1981.
He was rushed to Gemelli clinic, with ambulance desperately trying to make it on time through the Roman traffic. Operation lasted 4 hours, with what Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz later described as a last minute arrival to the clinic before it was too late.
Days after the assassination attempt the pope started to study the coincidence of dates and realized -- and believed since -- that the bishop in white "shot" in the Third Secret of Fatima was himself and that he was saved by Our Lady 64 years after she appeared to the Portuguese little shepherds.
A year after the assassination attempt, he traveled to Fatima, where he suffered another assassination attempt -- from an unstable ex-priest.
The bullet that should have killed him on May 13, 1981, according to Turkish gunman Mehmet Ali Agca, was placed in the crown of Our Lady of Fatima. "Why didn't you die" Agca reportedly asked John Paul in prison, when the pope visited him in 1983 and granted him personal forgiveness.
He is "a brother whom I have pardoned," the pope later said of the man who didn't kill him, but changed his life forever as the pope's health deteriorated following the attack and he suffered greatly through the rest of his life.

Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex - Today, on the liturgical feast of #OurLadyOfFatima, we turn our gaze to the Shrine, where the Virgin Mary entrusted the three shepherd children with a message of #Peace. Let us entrust to the Immaculate Heart of Mary our cry for peace and harmony, which rises from every part of the world, especially from people afflicted by war. #PrayTogether
