JPII, we love you!

its been one long day.. dont remember much of what happened before mass... it was nice shopping downtown.. um.. talk about.. im so proud we didnt get lost? considering i thought YOU knew the roads well.. *all-ritey then??*

my dad called me.. mid day.. to tell me about the condition of our Pope.. that he already passed away... hm.. shocked.. but didnt know wat to think.. we turned on the radio cuz i wanted to listen to the news for myself.. and they were saying other wise.. they said the pope was "near death"... hm.. unsure.. called wuss.. and her mom told her the same thing that my dad said.. made it to mass at 8pm at cmc.. and.. ya... reassured.. and that its not publicized cuz vaticans have stages and steps they need to go thru to verify and confirm and watever?.. not sure.. but mass was ok.. i think everyone had too much on their minds.. and the Pope's picture was standing on the altar... booo.. after mass.. reallie wanted to meet up with Peace.. reallie wanted to get in touch with u brothers and sisters.. mass ended at 9:50pm tho.. cuz it was dedicated to the Pope and it was sacred heart mass and it was vocation mass.. came out call bethie.. she was home.. then call lala.. she was home too.. then cyril walked outta church.. err.. no one went?

headed home.. caught up with cnn.. still not announcing anything.. hm.. its gonna be a loooong weekend for everyone..

the Pope made a lasting impression with alot of us.. maybe cuz we saw him during WYD? he was just extraordinary.. he has his ways with everyone.. and we all love him.. still remember? WYD? "JPII we love you".... and im sure the cheer still goes on in all of our hearts today.. he changed so many lives.. "the 5 people u meet in heaven" eh? for him its gonna be "the 50000 people u meet in heaven"... there's just the spirit in him.. that make him appeal to everyone that knows him.. or know of him.. his way with youth... he's a symbol of hope and love.. and the truth.. i think youth or people nowadays.. not everyone just goes with the wave/trends and do watever goes on.. in the corrupted world we live in today.. its comfort.. its hope.. when we see our Pope out there.. standing up for the truth.. standing up for what he thinks and what he believes in.. just seeing him, encourages and inspires all of us.. to stand up for our own morals, for our own beliefs and for the teachings of the church.. WYD was definitely a life changing experience.. cuz i got to see the Pope and got to meet all of you people.. that continue to help me grow =) true say.. it was just amazing.. he just has so much love in him, to give to each and everyone of us.. im just soo glad i went to WYD when it was in toronto.. or else.. im sure i would've regretted for life.. that.. or i wouldnt even be in church anymore today...

just left an email at john_paul_ii@vatican.va supposedly to leave wishes for the Pope? well.. i just wrote a thankyou reflection.. makes me feel better...=) and actually felt much better after praying the rosary "together" with patrick and yee.. today on tv.. they showed clips of thousands gathering at st. peter's square.. praying the rosary for the Pope... He suffered for so long already.. peace love and prayers to our Holy Father...
