Month's Mind - Pope John Paul II

The great Pope John Paul II went to the house of the heavenly Father a month ago today.

It is traditional to make a special prayerful remembrance for a person one month after their passing.

We also remember the words of then-Cardinal Ratzinger at his funeral.

"None of us can ever forget how in that last Easter Sunday of his life, the Holy Father, marked by suffering, came once more to the window of the Apostolic Palace and one last time gave his blessing urbi et orbi. We can be sure that our beloved Pope is standing today at the window of the Father's house, that he sees us and blesses us."
