Rest in Peace, Holy Father.

I just heard ..

He is home with God now .. but he will be dearly missed here on earth

Be Not Afraid

You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

Chorus:
Be not afraid, I go before you always,
Come follow me, and I will give you rest.

If you pass thru' raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
You shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you - through it all.
(Chorus)

Blesses are the poor
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
For one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me,
Blessed - blessed - are you!
(Chorus)

[ride the whirlwind]

He shall be missed.

Such is the way of all flesh.

Thank you, Howlin.

Prayers for Pope John..and all who loved him. May peace and comfort stream forth from our Father in Heaven.

Earth is but the first step in our life.

We know you will rest in peace, Pope John Paul.

Safe in the arms of his Heavenly Father.
He was a great man.

[A CA Guy]

Sad to lose such a great man and priest. May God give us the new Pope we NEED.

Pope Is Dead - Vatican

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, Our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. On the third day, he rose again. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Thanks for the ping. Ironically, I was attending a funeral for a family friend this afternoon and did not know JPII had passed until I just turned the TV on just now.

Rest In Eternal Peace, Holy Father.
