Faithful Servant to the End.
GOD's faithful servant was called home. The Catholic Church will always remember the message of the Holy Father and his actions of world reconciliation, peace, unifying Christianity and respect for human life.
Karol Wojtyla otherwise known as Pope John Paul II will be fondly remembered in my heart. A man faithful to the Word of GOD till the very end of his life. Neither sickness nor age prevented him from loving Jesus wholeheartedly and sharing this love to the World.
His last message to the world was his gentle and humble embrace of his suffering and offering it in union with the sufferings of Christ even as his body organs took turns to fail him.
Faithful to his last breath.
Faithful to the very end indeed.
Here are some useful links of the Pope's passing found on MSNBC-

GOD bless!

Only read about his articles and knew about him in a deeper level, recently. But during this short period of time, he has inspired me spiritually. I see him as someone who is very close to the Lord and it is really true when he is often said to have the gift of gestures. His warm and compassionate gestures can be felt even without encountering directly with him. He is a great example of faithful servant and disciple of Christ.
