I can still remember, it was year 1995, the World Youth day, the first time this man made an impact with my life. We were watching the news for the update of his coming, my mom and I were crying for some unexplainable reason, this man is truly something...

The pope who canonized and beatified saints more than any of his predecessors combined...
The pope who asked for forgiveness for all the sins of the church...
The man who made a significant impact in the downfall of communism...
The pope who was shot...
the man who forgave and kissed the man who shot him...
the man who called for a prayer of peace after the 911, for all denominations of faith...
The first pope to enter a synagogue... and a mosque.


Pope John Paul II

The second time that I cried, again was when I was watching the news ... this time... to wait for something inevitable... This one is a painful waiting game...

But this is no time for mourning... It is just the beginning...to eternal life.

Thank you for shepherding us...Goodbye Fr. Karol...
