From our bishop: "It is a matter of hours, and not days."

[Padraig18]

Our bishop was just on our local TV news, and said that friends of his who are close to His Holiness have told him that John Paul's death is likely only a matter of hours away, absent a miracle.

If it be Thy will, Lord, may your servant John Paul's end be peaceful.

1. I sadly concur, but his time has clearly come.

He has been a loyal servant of God on earth and he has served his mission with amazing dedication over deep physical infirmities.

2. May the Good Lord extend his mercies

to His Holiness in his hour of need. May he pass quietly and without fear or pain. God Be With Him.
