There is great rejoicing in heaven as a good priest comes home.

Love that, thank you.

[Petronski]

I love that melody.

[ride the whirlwind]

He shall be missed.

very sad

[pegleg]

He died on the First Saturday as well as the Saturday of the Divine Mercy Novena.

Duly noted. May he rest in Peace.

Requiem in pacem, Karol Wojtyla.

[virgil]

He was a great Pope and a wonderful inspiration in my life. I was a high school senior when he became Pope. Just starting out in life. God Bless him and may he welcome this soul into his Kingdom.

[onyx]

Yes, and he knew exactly where he was going.
A truly sad day, but his life is definitely one to celebrate!

[Bahbah]

Comfort us from Heaven, Holy Father.

[AlbionGirl]

The strength of the Father, and the innocence of His Son is written all over Pope John Paul's face.

O God, who by Thine unspeakable providence wast pleased to number Thy servant John Paul amongst the sovereign pontiffs; grant, we beseech Thee, that he who reigned as the vicar of Thy Son on earth, may be joined in fellowship with Thy holy pontiffs, for evermore. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ.

Very, very sad indeed.

[ArmyBratproud]

Prayers for the Pope and those who surround him.

Prayers for the Catholic Church and all its members.

I know you folks will have a very busy and testing time in the next month or so as you celebrate a good man's life and then begin the process of his successor.

Just know that many of us are keeping y'all in our prayers.

Farewell to one (among five) of the greatest people in the 20th century.

[Friend of thunder]

The two brave men who destroyed the seemingly impregnable Communist Empire of Europe, liberating 300 million people!!!

Don’t forget Margaret Thatcher

[lawgirl]

Prayers for the catholic church as they select a new leader.

Thank you Pope John Paul II for your example. I am so happy to know that you are being welcomed to heaven even as we speak.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Farewell, Papa John Paul...we will miss you here on earth...pray for us in Heaven...

Amazing...dying on the cusp of First Saturday and the vigil of the Feast of the Divine Mercy...Mary and Jesus, pray for us.

[amdgmary]

"One gets the eerie sense that the Holy Father's last mission was to speak up for Terri."

I believe that. The Holy Father and Terri were linked in a mysterious way. They both carried the Cross.

[Houmatt]

How sad. How sad, indeed.

Now he belongs to the angels.

[Yossarian]

Prayers for the soul of Karol Wojtyla, and for the Catholic Church that he lead. And while we are mourning, let us rejoice his work to defeat the forces of Nihilism and Communism, scourges of the 20th Century!
