It is a very good Sunday. Pope John Paul II has been released from the hospital. He was able to speak a blessing to those congregated below his 10th floor window at Rome's Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital this morning (Rome time). Pope John Paul II is 84 years old. He suffers from Parkinson's Disease and is developing a curved back. BUT his mind is as sharp as ever. He can still write out his homilies. He still speaks for the Roman Catholic Church. Those detractors who would call for his resignation don't know him very well. Age is not a determining factor for Popes. Mental incapacity is. But this Pope is anything but mentally incapacitated. He's still got reams of papers to write. He still leads with the same faith and fervor he's always had. The man is a marvel. God's man for God's time.

With everything that has been occuring in the news, it's good to hear 'good news' on a Sunday morning.
+Pace e Bene+
+Viva il Papa+
