Juan Paulo Segundo, te ciero todo mundo!!!

John Paul II, the whole world loves you!!!

I still remember the Spanish delegation chanting this when my own clan represented the Philippines in an audience with the Pope in April 1992. When the impact of their cheering had become so intense, the entire audience joined them in as the Pope made his way through the aisles to meet everyone.

In that same trip, we were taken to the tombs of all the popes. We were shown the tomb wherein they would place Pope John Paul II when he died. Who would have thought that the day would finally come when he would be laid to rest there.

In memory of our dear, dear Pope John Paul II, the above statement is most likely an understatement.

May you rest in peace! Viva el Papa!

In Memoriam

For God so loved the world
He gave us His only son,
Jesus Christ our Saviour
His most precious one.
He has sent us His message of love
And sends those who hear
To bring the message to everyone
In a voice loud and clear:
Let us tell the world of His love,
The GREATEST LOVE the world has known
Search the world for those who have walked astray
And lead them home.
Fill the world's darkest corners
With His light from up above
Walk every step, every mile, every road
And tell the world,
TELL THE WORLD OF HIS LOVE!
