In Memory

1920-2005



At 3 or 4 pm this morning, pope john paul the second passed away due to a heart attack and failed organs.I only learned about it this morning when i woke up from sleep.
I'm not that sad about him passing away. Rather, i'm happy for him now that he's in a much better place in heaven. And i'm very sure that during his last moments on earth, he would already have left his physical body for another realm.
i'm not being kooky, just that i truly believe for someone as good as the pope,i'm sure the Lord will give him a painless death.
I respect him for being brave to speak out about things that not only concerns christians, but the whole world in general.He was not only speaking for our behalf, but also for the Lords, and Jesus Christ.And i do agree that there should be respect for all faiths, because which faith on earth truly intructs its followers to kill other humans for fun?
His efforts to bring together Christians from all sects is also commendable, because we all worship one Lord. What is the point of going to church every week, and disliking other christians who are not from the same sect as you?For we are all god's children, and he will provide for us.
No matter what his detractors say, i will respect the pope. can you imagine that you are in charge of 1.1 billion followers of the Lord, and whatever you do or say will have an impact on all of them? Not to mention people who want to assasinate you just because of your religion?
things that he spoke of:family values, anti abortion, inter-racial dialogue,female priests.No doubt times have changed, but in a way i understand his logic for some of the things he has spoken against.The Roman Catholic church is very set in its ways and tradionalistic, and that's why we have different sects of christianity nowadays.
If i'm offending some people , i'm sorry, but i think that's the way i see things.
The world has truly lost a good leader today, a leader that truly cares for all humans on earth, and who has been championing the cause of peace ever since he became the pope. I truly respect the way he's been trying to bring israel and palestine to a standoff.
May he rest in peace, may he always continue to look down upon us, and may the lord help the cardinals to choose the suitable leader for the roman catholic church.

My undue respect also goes to all the priests, monks, brothers, evangelists and the faithful,who try to bring all of us closer to the lord.

And i pray that i will try my best to do something good on earth while i'm still alive.I read somewhere and i do realise that yes, our life on earth is so short, compared to the eterninty we will have in heaven. so, i hope i will contribute to the good of mankind in some way.
