The greatest man to walk the earth since Jesus has joined our Lord in heaven. He spread the word to world, he saved Jews from the Nazi's in Poland and later pushed to save Poland from the Communist tyranny. He championed human rights around the world, especially in Cuba, he brought the problem of third world debt to the fore; as somebody mentioned, long before Bob Geldof or Bono. On coming to Ireland long before any talk of ceasfires or the Good Friday agreement he begged "on my knees" for peace-leaving no true Catholic with an excuse to fight and hide behind religion. He bowed at the holocuast memorial and entered a Synagouge; building a bridge between Christianity and it's older brother and making amends for the Vatican's silence during the holocuast in which he worked so hard saving so many lives. Within the Christian church he expressed his hope of unity, stating that the division of God's church is a sin. Not only was he the first Pope to enter a Syanagouge but the first to enter Anglican Cathedrals on his visit to England and he conversed with the Anglican heirarchy strengthening peace and union. He was a n example to all in granting the ultimate forgivness to the gunman who attempted to take his life. He reached out to the Muslim religion of Islam by entering a Mosque and building yet another bridge between faiths.
Our Pope John Paul II opened up the faith and good work of the Catholic chuirch to the world and right to the end he showed us how to fight through our suffering and stay faithful to the end. As the sun rose in America signalling the start of the Feast of the Divine Mercy, he recieved Communion for this day, that of his favourite saint before giving his final message "I have looked for you, now you have come to me and I thank you" and joining Jesus in heaven.
God bless you my Pope you are with us all forever. Enjoy you eternal rest and eternity with our Lord and our Saints. Please bless my grandad who is in heaven with you.

Liam, for such a young guy, that is indeed some serious mature and thought provoking reflection. Glad to read it.

I was born the day the previous Pope died, so Pope J P II has been the only Pope i have known, I have grown up watcing him on Tv, listening to his easter message each year. I have been to his homeland 3 times, visiting Krakow on many occasions, a beautiful city, ignored by some tourists, a city which was dear to him. I am sure now it will be a haven for so many tourists and pilgrims and Wadowice also. He had such a warm and caring expression on his face. For me, he was a great Pope and leader of the church, i am proud of him. At least, we know we will soon have another great Saint to pray to. It was especially sad to see the sadness of the Poles during this time.
