The Passing Of Pope John Paul II
All Catholics in the world are surely mourning the death of Pope John Paul II.
I never really knew the Pope but I have learned from my Christian Living Class in High school that that he used to be Karol Wojtyla, Polish and the first non-Italian Pope for the past 400 years. He used to be a soldier. Somebody predicted that he will someday become a Pope. I forgot all about the details but as far as I remember, he has been a great person, forgiving your assasin is something that only a saint could do, I suppose. He has been in Manila twice, where as Madonna consistently refused to go for fear of Manila's notorious image.
But the Pope has carried on his shoulder so many burdens, and the last few times I watched him on TV, I would say that it should have really been his time. The Lord called for his return on heaven...
I am an inconsistent Catholic, that I admit. But I must say that having a leader in the name of Pope John Paul II, I am proud to be one and truly touched by his generosity, by his commitment to serve the Lord through serving the people.
Many great men walked this planet but I am blessed that in my lifetime, I have personally seen and touched by a holy man.
