We can all save our prayers for His Holiness -- he met God the moment his soul left.
We must pray for us since we will be deprived of his wisdom, his humility, his love and his humor.
The following pic is NOT disrepectful, it is a single snapshot of all I just described:
What a wonderful man!

Not at all disrespectful. We may forgive so easily, but His Holiness had a great sense of humour which flowed from a true sense of joy and happiness.

Thank you for posting that picture. I had never seen it before. It put a smile on my face at this sad time.

If I am not mistaken, that picture was taken at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, and the Holy Father was teasing the East German Border Guards, who were looking at him through binoculars.
Incidentally, around the time of his visit to Berlin, the East Germans built a television tower with a large round observatory at the top. Light refracting off the observatory formed a perfect cross, so the Berliners began calling the tower the "Pope's Revenge."

No, it's not disrespectful. It shows a Holy man filled with the joy of God. I agree with your sentiment: What a wonderful man!

We must pray for us since we will be deprived of his wisdom, his humility, his love and his humor.I saw some video footage on Friday night of Pope John Paul laughing so hard at a couple of street clowns entertaining him, tears were streaming down his cheeks and he looked like he was going to fall out of his high-back chair.
