May we all pray this evening April 1, 2005 for the beloved John Paul II...

May he find homage and peace in the hands of GOD. May he wonder peacefully through heavens gardens and take heavenly feeling knowing he walks with GOD himself.

Our beloved John Paul II may leave this world, his spirit lives on in all of us. Everyone even if we do not follow the same religions or beliefs.

His happiness and joy has inspired us all and we thank him for such a spiritual journey. We know we must continue on the path of life, the journey the lord has choosen for us.

We take this night and raise our hands to heaven and light a candle in the name of John Paul II, The man, the word of GOD, the spirit that lives in us all.

Amen...

Pope John Paul II has died in his apartment at the Vatican in Rome. He was 84 and had led the world's one billion Catholics for 26 years.

The Vatican said the Pontiff died at 8.37pm BST, 9.37pm Rome time.

The Polish-born pontiff, who received the last rites on Thursday evening, suffered heart failure and shock during treatment for a urinary tract infection.

His health declined sharply when he developed a high fever brought on by the infection.

He initially responded well to anti-biotics but then his condition deteriorated further and the fever resurfaced on the morning of his death.

Although gravely ill a Vatican spokesman said John Paul had been "lucid" and was responding when addressed by aides.

On Friday night a crowd of around 70,000 gathered in Rome's St Peter's Square to be close to the man who had been their spiritual guide since 1978.

All around the world Catholics offered prayers as concern grew for his health.

John Paul was taken to hospital twice last month with breathing problems, having earlier had a tube inserted in his throat.

He was last seen in public on Wednesday when he appeared briefly at his apartment window in St Peter's Square to bless thousands of pilgrims.

There were cheers from the gathered audience as he tried to speak to them, but his words were not audible.

John Paul II, whose 26-year reign as the charismatic leader of the world's 1 billion Roman Catholics was highlighted by visits to 129 countries, died Saturday. He was 84.

"The Holy Father is deceased this evening at 9:37 in his private apartment," Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said in a written statement.

"Our beloved Holy Father John Paul II has returned to his home. Let us pray for him."
