I am not Catholic, but I am a Christian and will pray for him, but I think the Catholics may want to be prepared for a "smoke watch"...
I am a Roman Catholic and I have been praying for the Holy Father all day!
I think you're right. Though I hadn't heard any news about the pope until this minute, I'd been feeling all morning as though the door to heaven had opened, a feeling I get before people I know or live close to die. No, not spooky, it's really a lovely experience.
Being me a 23-year-old Catholic, he's been the only Pope I've seen in my life.
It'd be a big shock if he passes away, but my heart is ready when he's accepted to God's glory.
I have him in my thoughts and prayers, and if it's God's will to call him to His side, so be it, and I'll pray for a tranquil death. Or if it's God's will to keep him here leading the Church, then I'll pray for a speedy recovery.
Que se haga la voluntad de Dios.
I am a Catholic and I pray for all Christians.
Prayers for John Paul being said right now.
