April 7th Notes
DEATH of Pope John Paul 11 on Saturday evening April 2nd on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday brought back many memories of the Popes life and work. When he solemnly consecrated the World to the Divine Mercy Pope John Paul said "Apart from the mercy of God there is no other hope for mankind". For most of us his visit to Ireland was the highlight of our lives, the Irish showed their affection for the first Pope to visit our country by flocking to meet him and decorate streets and houses with appropriate flags. It would be nice if the Churches and local libraries had a display of memorabilia on the life of our much loved Pope John Paul 11. The Pope was human like ourselves and will need our prayers and he in turn will intercede for us in our journey through life.
