Dear John Paul the Great, intercede for me. As one of the Cardinals said, he is closer to us now than he was when he was alive. And it truly must be so. For twenty six years, this mortal man, prepared by God to lead the Catholic Church, has been a beacon of light in a darkened world. He visited 129 Countries and met with their leaders. And in his death, he brought together thousands of dignitaries who 'shared the peace' with each other during his funeral Mass. An Israeli President shook hands with his Country's archenemies, a Syrian President and an Irani President. Only John Paul II could have accomplished that, and by the Grace of God he did. Thank you, your Holiness, John Paul the Great.
