when he became a pope


my fave pic of our pope


yesterday, cnn and larry king concluded that a "righteous man" died... for me, it was somebody special who died. i cried that morning seeing his pictures in cnn and in all news network. here you see a man so loved that tens of thousands of people praying and waiting at St. Peter's basilica and perhaps millions worldwide praying for him in their own homes for perhaps, some good news. but at 9:37pm at Rome, the Pope breathed his last and he has gone back to the Father. i am amazed with his life, of the connection with Sr. Faustina and that he left this world during the Divine Mercy Sunday. it was really a sad Sunday morning.


coincidentally, my dad is in the hospital. while cleaning his open treachtomy (i dunno the correct spelling for this), the cotton bud broke in half. when he had his broncoscopy, they saw it was embedded in the right side track of his lungs. today he awaits operation by a thoracic surgeon to hopefully remove the cotton bud by rigid scope or fiber optic means. i pray for his strength for the operation. Please pray with me.
