As you all probably know, he's not doing so well and i know he's not the orthodox pope but he's a great man and we should all pray for him.

    Yea i agree with u guys, he's a very blessed man. I also heard that he was always having talks with other christian denominations and would try to bring the church back under one roof, even after everyone gave up all hope.

    Hello everyone, I do not know if you found out or not, but Pope John Paul II has passed away about 1 hour ago. May the Lord reward his soul and Have mercy upon all of us. Please pray that the Lord sends His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to comfort our fellow Christians around the world.

    May the Lord Bless you all and send His grace to dwell among us.

    Your Brother:

    come on you guys, this amazing holy man is in heaven now, and even if the world wouldn't respond the same way to our pope, thats no excuse for us not to pray for this one. the best thing he did was admit the mistakes of the catholic church. because we're all sinners, even the popes, and the best thing we can do is humble ourselves.

    I agree! I think he was a very Godly man nonetheless. He even met with President Bush and told him not to support brain stem research..(cloning)
    may the Lord repose his soul!

    God we thank You for his Holy reign and we ask You to repose his soul in the paradise of delight, We also pray Lord that he is replaced by a strong man, who will perform Your will, and lead our brethren, the Catholics.
  • sherrymikhail04sherrymikhail04
    i just wanna mention...

    i HOPE the next Pope will be as great, and will keep the Catholic Church as strong as it was with Pope John Paul. and that the church rules and teachings become MORE enforced and kept strong...
    ((especially now that 'gay' ppl are increasing and all the 'araf' is increasing....ugh... )))
    anywho, i Pray all goes well in d future!
    Amen.
  • mazzamazza
    yea
    hes a blessed man an may god rest his soul in the heavenly jerusalem
  • nardinnardin
    yes its very sad for all the catholics at this time and also other people from other denominations. he was such a blessed man i was just watching now his life story its sooo beutiful there was a bit that was soo nice and showed how humble when all the bishops were taking his blessings and an older man which was a bishop went on his feet and Pope John was on the church he got off the chair and kissed the other guys feet as he was older he is soo beutiful may God repose his soul in the paradise of joy
    also another beutiful thing was he went onto an islamic counrty (forgot which 1) and preached to all of them and saying the similarities between christians and muslims and they were all happy and clapping it was beautiful

    but it is said as i sed in my earlier post that if the next pope is Pope Peter the catholic church is going to be ruined to the max and that will be the end for catholics very bad stuff but Gods will be done

    Hello!

    I'm a catholic but I visit this website quite often to look for some information. I've just read what You had written about our beloved Pope John Paul II... And I just wanted to say that I am deeply touched... and grateful for Your compassion and especialy for Your prayer... He realy was a man of peace and He considerd all the people - no matter catholics, orthodox, protestant, muslims, jews - as His brothers and sisters... Perhaps You know - He was Polish. His name was Karol Wojtyla. And I am Polish too. That's why for me this situation is more difficult... We - the Polish - knew Johm Paul II not only as a spiritual leader but also as a wonderful, dear Father who had enormous sense of humour and had a great talent to bring people closer to God and who loved especialy the young people telling them: "God is love. Don't be afraid to live for this Love!".... Here in Poland everyone is very sad now but in the same time we know that now He is very happy with Chirst...
    Fully Rely On God - I've also heard many prophecies about what will happen.... These are only prophecies... As christians we are not supposed to believe such things because only God knows the future and everything is in His hands... So we should Fully Rely On God ;) not on the prophecies. The Pope's biggest dream was to unite Christians once again... There is no "orthodox Christ" and "catholic Christ"... Christ is One and we are supposed to be One Church... So let's hope that Pope's dream will come true and that there will be no catholic church, coptic church, protestant churches but ONE CHRISTIAN church.... Let's pray for that!

    Thank You all once again!
    God bless You.
  • mazzamazza

    Having seen all those things you had written above, I was very touched too (like catholic), because I am catholic too and I am Pole too. It is very nice that we - all the Christians around the world - are united in praying for soul of great man John Paul II was. Thank You !
    I hope there shall come a day when we all shall be one in Our God.

    God bless You !
  • mazzamazza
    thanx for your sweet words

    heya marmar91 umm i heard it some one told me

    i got this as an email

    Our beloved Catholic reverend fathers, brothers and sisters:

    Peace and grace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. On
    behalf of the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Mark of Jersey City, please
    accept our deepest condolences for the departure of His Holiness Pope John
    Paul II on Saturday April 2nd, 2005. His Holiness Pope John Paul II had
    been a great leader and father for the Roman Catholic Church Worldwide, as
    well as a distinguished ambassador of our common Christian cause to the
    whole World. During his papacy, the World heard a consistent message of
    love, reconciliation, spirituality, morality, and sanctity of life. All
    Christendom will truly miss this blessed and holy father.

    The Coptic Orthodox Church, in particular, has a warm relationship with the
    Roman Catholic Church during the Papacy of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III,
    the Pope of Alexandria and the Patriarch of the See of St. Mark over the
    last 35 years. His Holiness Pope Shenouda III visited His Holiness Pope
    Paul VI at the Vatican in 1973. This historic visit was reciprocated by yet
    another historic visit when His Holiness Pope John Paul II visited Cairo in
    2000 and met with His Holiness Pope Shenouda III several times. Both
    pontiffs have encouraged a renewed spirit of dialogue between the two
    churches at various levels. We trust in the Lord, that this legacy of His
    Holiness Pope John Paul II will continue from now onwards.

    We are truly grateful to God for the person and the life of the departed
    pontiff. As his soul moves from this perishing world to the eternal one, we
    join with our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters in giving thanks to God
    for Pope John Paul II. May the Lord repose his blessed soul.

    Sincerely,
    Hegomen Fr. Abraam Sleamn            
    Rector and Priest

    Fr. Markos Ayoub
    Priest
