I mourn the passing of Pope John Paul II. Though I am not a Catholic, I virtually grew up with this Pope, watching his effect on the People of the Earth. A passionate man, a Holy man. God’s representative on Earth. How many people did he personally affect? Only they know. I have spent many hours this afternoon contemplating his passing into the House of the Lord. I offer you Psalm 23:
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.
