According to the Vatican, the Pope is in his final days. :cry:

Most Merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I pray Thee, by the agony of Thy Most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Thine Immaculate Mother, to wash in Thy Most Precious Blood the sinners of the world who are now in their agony, especially your humble and devout servant, Pope John Paul II, and those who will die today. Heart of Jesus, once in agony, have mercy on the dying. Amen.

Mindful of God's saving love for us, we pray:

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

You are the potter and we the clay:
~shape us in your image according to your will.

You are the shepherd and we the flock:
~seek out those who have strayed from your ways.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

You are the host and we the guests at your table:
~feed the hungry of spirit with the bread of your loving forgiveness.

Have mercy on your people, Lord.

Our Father...

God of mercy and compassion, you brought about the salvation of the world through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Have mercy on us when we fail to live the new life you have given us;
raise us up when our sinfulness sinks us into discouragement;
grant us courage to renew our desire to live according to your will, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.


Bless the Holy Father, Lord. And thank you for his wisdom and guardianship of the flock.

LORD God, we lift up our dear brother Pope John Paul II to you in prayer. Bless him, ease any suffering he may be facing, and may his passage from this life to the next be peacful. Let him feel your presence close to him, comforting and strengthening him. May the blood of Christ wash away his sins, and may he be rewarded in heaven for his life of faithful service to you.
Bless and strengthen the Catholic Church in this time of collective sorrow, may they find comfort in the remembrance of his life of devotion and the sure knowledge that they will see him again.
In the name of Jesus Christ our saviour,
amen.

Amen....

Lets pray that our pope is at peace with death, anxiously awaiting his passing to be united with our Father in heaven, just like Paul. Let us pray that we all can trascend this world as he has, and not fear our physical death. Thank you Father for life everlasting.

He may still have more guidance to provide us from the Holy Sprit.



May the Lord grant him peace either here on earth or in heaven.


NO REASON FOR ALARM ABOUT POPE'S HEALTH, SAYS CARDINAL RE Statements Taken Out of Context Renew Concern

VATICAN CITY, OCT. 3, 2003 (Zenit.org).- Responding to media speculation, one of John Paul II's closest aides, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, says there is no reason for alarm over the Pope's health.

The prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, who lunched with the Holy Father on Wednesday, said: "The Pope is a strong man, lucid in mind, with a clear view of the world."

"Of course he has real difficulties with pronunciation, especially when he is tired, and he has problems walking," he said Thursday at a book presentation.

Today, the Pope had a full schedule of audiences. In the morning he received Jean Obeid, Lebanon's Foreign Affairs Minister; three bishops from the Philippines; and the Redemptorists participating in their congregation's general chapter.

The Pope was also to receive in audience Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller, who is in Rome to attend the European Union's Intergovernmental Conference.

Cardinal Re's statements were made after some news media exaggerated statements made by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna.

In an interview on Austrian national radio, the Vienna archbishop said that "even a life as full and intense" as this Pope's "has to end sometime." He said that that was something quite natural, but what is unusual is that it should occur "in everyone's view."

"Everyone is seeing a sick Pope, incapacitated, who is dying -- I don't know how close he is to death -- who is nearing the last days and months of his life," the cardinal said. He added that the image of the frail Pope "is a difficult sign for our society, which idolizes health."

Cardinal Schönborn's interview was published by an international agency under a headline, "The Pope Is Dying."

A spokesman for the Vienna prelate, Erich Leitenberger, said later that Cardinal Schönborn's statements should be taken "philosophically and not literally."

The previous day, John Paul II's personal secretary, Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, said that the press had distorted a private comment made by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, to the point that it made the German weep.

On Thursday, Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer came away from an audience with the Pope relieved that his health seemed better than recent reports had suggested, the news portal News.com said.

"It's not like in the media. He is not on the brink," Downer said after the Vatican meeting. ZE03100306
