Just under 5 hours after I posted my previous entry and asked to pray for the Pope, he had passed on and returned to the House of God.
Sadness came to me first.
The world has lost not only a religious leader but a wonderful man who could inspire both Catholics and non-Catholics alike and someone who advocates world peace and religious harmony.
Seeing images of the faithful shedding tears for him, I was also moved to tears.

The Pope reminded the world not to feel sad but instead to feel joy at his passing.
'I am happy... you should be.'
He has returned to the Father and free from all physical suffering.
And this was his message to the Youth(who have gathered at St Peter's):
'I have looked for you. Now you have come to me. And I thank you'

Masses will be held in all Catholic churches nationwide at 8pm today.

The world will remember you.
Thank you for everything.
