Today we had to turn in a report that we had over spring break. I had decided to wright about what had happened to the Pope.
My Report
Did you hear the horrible news? I was very shocked when i heard what had happened.I could not believe it! He had passed away.He had already suffered a lot of many different things , but he had survived all of them. They had announced before his death that he had been receiving nutrition from a tube placed in his nose.John Paul had Parkinson's disease. Which meant it was going to be hard for him to breath, walk, and speak. Did you know he also had surgery to insert a tube in his throat help him breath. He had survived a lot of things. For example 14 years ago a man tried to kill the Pope.Doctors also had to remove some of his intestine. Lots of Catholics were praying for him to get better. I think John Paul II was a very strong man , but we could not decide his future. Lots of Catholics were very sad when they heard the news, including me.
You know, Alejandra, what I think was so great about Pope John Paul II is that is wasn't just Catholics who were sad when he died. People from all over the world, from all religions were sad. He was a pretty great man, wasn't he?

I am a Catholic who lives on Whidbey Island. On April 2, 2005 I was watching on my television St. Peters Square when the Pope John Paul was ill. At the precise moment of the Pope's passing I took a picture to commerate the event. No unusual images were seen on the screen. The picture remained in the camera until Dec. 25 2005 when I viewed the smartcard. A ghostlike image of Jesus appeared waiting to take Pope John Paul ll home to be with him. I would like to share this with the world. The original was sent to the Vatican. It is to be used to remind the faithful to remain faithful till the end to receive their reward as did the Pope. It also is to serve as notice to the skeptics that indeed Jesus is alive and well. Thank you www.heavenlyvisitation.com
God Bless You
