  in passing
friends, john paul II has died. from cnn reports, that he had been "responding correctly" to prompts for his attentions, it seems that he was conscious of his surroundings and actions until the very end. the vatican press office states that he died in his apartments, just as he said he wanted. he died 1:37 p.m. chicago time, 9:37 p.m. rome time. he was 84.

my regret is that there won't be any more admonitions of "go to sleep!" after a vigil mass, no more jokes of "wake up!" for sunday morning world youth day mass, no more eloquently-written stories and letters that very hopefully and joyfully encourage youth to believe, to take chances, to travel, to learn, to pray, to be not afraid.

but no, some of the church's songs still lack the power and energy exuded by youth. :wry:
