I am not a person of religion, but I empathise with the loss of Pope John Paul II. R.I.P.
At last he is relieved of his suffereing.

I'll remember him my entire life as a great man who always struggled against war. I can't find proper words to describe him, not even in my own language.
At the beggining I felt very sad, really sad. But now I feel better, since I know he's not suffering anymore.
R.I.P.

Incidentally, I was in Rome when he passed away and attended his memorial service in the Vatican. The huge (really massive) crowd that had gathered shows the respect he used to command.May his soul rest in peace.

I was in London for the mass in the Cathedral. The church was full and people were queuing outside in the square which was full to capacity. I have never seen so many pictures of the pope in all newspapers. A great and holy man who lived the gospel. We thank God for him. Sia lodato Gesu.
