Pope John Paul is in critical condition after a heart failure. He is “lucid, conscious, and serene,” but his condition is “very grave.” He celebrated Mass and prayed the Gospel of the Passion.
Here is the Vatican’s statement.

With this grave situation in mind and following the latest news on the Internet, it may be presumptious to write this.
Somehow though, of all Pope John Paul II has taught us these many years, it would seem that he would all want us to be at peace with his condition and to allow the Lord to work His own gracious will. The Pope’s life is a lesson in so many virtues, not the least are faith and fortitude.
May the Lord grant us the same acceptance of His divine will as the Holy Father.
