The aim of this article was to present two outstanding figures of the Roman Catholic Church: Holy Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Hans Urs von Balthasar. They were both remarkable people, not only contemporaries and close associates, but also true friends and great witnesses of faith. Both were gifted by God with many talents and selflessly put their various faculties at the service of God and people. In the spirit of evangelical poverty, they both sought only what leads people to salvation.
