Go be with God and rest your wear head and know that you are loved.

I've been praying for him all afternoon and evening! What a great spiritual leader he has been, may God always bless him in this life and in the one to come.

Over here, Radio Rome describes it as gravissimo, with septic shock and an earlier cardiac arrest.

I've been calling him John Paul the Great for years, on my FR homepage.
My heart is heavy.

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You for the chorus of prayers before the Throne of Grace on behalf of this beloved leader ... look with mercy upon him, O God, and extend to him comfort and peace in this dark hour. May Your healing hand be upon him, that he might rise up again to minister to the church, yet if his course has been run, O God, may You lead him gently home, Father, lead him gently home. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

I think this Holy Man wanted to see his final Holy Week.
Sigh...this has been the toughest Holy Season in memory.

Wow. I hadn't heard this update. It truly is a grave moment.
His refusal to goto hospital may be indicative of his own personal feeling on the seriousness of his health. I take it as a sign that he believes he's ready if it is his time.
Should it come to pass, and I hope it is not, I pray the Church is guided to select a worthy successor.

News reports via ABC News call his condition very grave, but that there is some hope that he is not close to death.

Vatican statement: Pope's heart failure
Text of Vatican statement on Pope John Paul II's health on Friday, 1 April 2005. "This morning, the Holy Father's health condition is very grave.
Yesterday afternoon, 31 March, as has been already announced, following a urinary infection, a state of septic shock and cardio-circulatory collapse set in.
The Holy Father was immediately assisted by the medical team in His Holiness' private apartments.
All appropriate therapeutic provisions and cardio-respiratory assistance were provided.
The Holy Father's will to remain in his apartments was respected. They are equipped with complete and efficient health facilities.
Late yesterday afternoon there was a temporary stabilisation of the clinical framework which, however, in the following hours evolved negatively.
The Holy Father's condition is being attentively monitored and watched over.
The Holy Father is conscious, lucid and tranquil. At 1917 (1717 GMT Thursday) he received the Holy Viaticum . At 0600 (0400 GMT) today, the Holy Father celebrated Holy Mass.
The cardinal secretary of state and the closest aides of the Holy Father are united with him in prayer and are following the clinical conditions of His Holiness.
The Pope is being assisted by his personal doctor Renato Buzzonetti, as well as two intensive care specialists, a cardiologist and an ear, nose and throat specialist as well as two nurses."
