A friend and I backpacked through Europe in the summer of 1980 and felt an obligation to stop in Rome; mainly to tell our mothers that we tried to see the Pope. <BR/>Thanks to a friendly Nun, Sr. Donata, who was actually knitting on the steps of St. Peter that day, we obtained tickets for the Wed. audience and found ourselves shaking hands with the Pope as he passed through the crowd! The energy and faithful witness of love we experienced was a turning point in my faith. Thank you Pope John Paul for reaching out to the youth. May we live up to your hope in us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301402.post-1112502440575808752005-04-02T23:27:00.000-05:002005-04-02T23:27:00.000-05:00I will never be the same.

I think Pope John Paul II was an inspiration to every well-intentioned person on this planet. His actions as a both an average man, and as a larger-than-life symbol of what religion means, speaks volumes about his influence to spread peace in our turmoiled world. Compassion, empathy and forgiveness, and peace for all mankind are words that describe his life. God has taken him home where he belongs.

As a Marrano Jew, I look forward to the election of a new Pope who will build upon the positive and hopefully irreversable directions John Paul II took the Roman Catholic Church in its quest to reconcile its historic relationship with the Jewish people. I pray: "May the Holy One of Israel, blessed be He, guide and direct the House of Cardinals in the election of their Pope. May this chosen Pope also be the Great Pope of Destiny for his time; the Pope who will bring merit to the memory of Pope John Paul II by following in his footsteps. May he have the will and strength and support among his Church, to continue down the path of reconciliation with all the House of Israel."

I am not Catholic, but have had great respect for this man, what he has done, and his position. <BR/><BR/>I am touched by his death with dignity, and with the images I am seeing of those who are mourning him. But those who mourn him seem to have sadness, without regret. A peaceful passing, mixed with acceptance and appreciation. There does not seem to be a sense of wanting to hold on to the past, but an honoring of what service this man dedicated his life to. A moment in time standing still, giving honor and thanks and appreciation for his service, before looking on to the future.<BR/><BR/>He was a great leader, and served God well.<BR/><BR/>The news channels all have plenty to say, so I'll leave it at that.<BR/>My heart goes to all touched by this today, from his family to the Catholic church to those throughout the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301402.post-1112480103525403352005-04-02T17:15:00.000-05:002005-04-02T17:15:00.000-05:00Pope John Paul made everyone remember just what be...Pope John Paul made everyone remember just what being a Catholic means.
