    I do agree with you, Mr.Lech Walesa. Hey wake up, people! How could you forgot the two formers actors: President Reagan and Pope John Paul ll? Once Mr. Gorbachev said: 'It could not happen without this Pope.' In my opinion that God had chosen these formers actors to do His mission. Both of them got would-be assassinations (just six weeks apart) and they survived. Why? Because His mission was not yet over. I believe so, don't you, Mr. Lech Walesa?

    I saw the Pope traveled all around the world wherever he got welcomed. No matter where. He was the Pope with strong faith and tireless plus fearless since he trust in God. To me Papa John Paul ll is:

    A model Saint,
    Salt for the earth,
    A witness for the Light.

    I do pray 'to' him. Ask him to pray 'for' us still on the journey, to follow his foot steps (of Pope John Paul ll). We all:

    Be patient and pray,
    Be strong and brave,
    Be not afraid,
    Have faith and trust.

    Then when our journey ends, we will dance for joy in His home where the feast never ends and the joy is everlasting.

    In addition, to prove the Pope is a model Saint is he put God's words into action. He visited his attacker Agca in prison and forgave him. Papa John Paul had done the most difficult commandment: 'To love your enemies.'
