Resquiscat in Pace

The only Pope I have ever known has returned home to his father. I feel no sadness for him, as I am sure (as sure as it is ever possible to be about someone else's salvation) that he is now in the presence of Christ. However I feel great sadness for us, now that we are to be deprived of his great leadership. May the Holy Spririt give us another great leader.


Grant unto him enternal rest O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
