Amen and Amen
Pope John Paul II has been laid to rest. Millions attended his funeral mass, including 4 kings, 5 queens, and 70 presidents. Virtually all faiths came together to honor him. Prayers were spoken in Swahihi, Togolese, Portuguese, German and French (at least).
It is said that, last Saturday a mass was said in his residence, along with the Blessing of the Sick and Dying (Last Rites or Extreme Unction). When it was finished, he looked out the window, said, "Amen," and then passed away. Knowing what we know of his life and his faith, that just makes sense.
