The passing of Pope John Paul II

Pope John Paul has passed away today at 9:37pm.



"I find great peace in thinking of the time, when the Lord will call me from life to life. At the hour of my death, call me Lord, and bid me come to you. And when the moment of our definitive passage comes, grant that we may come with serenity, without regret for what we shall leave behind. For in meeting you lord, after having sought you for so long, we shall find once more every good which we have known here on earth. In the company of all who have gone before us, marked with the sign of faith and hope. May we pray for us now, and at the hour of our death." - Pope John Paul II
