John Paul II, is indeed my father in faith. As many of you know, I am a seminarian studying for the Priesthood of Christ. John Paul II played and continues to play a pivotal role in my life.  He is indeed the light that rose from the East, as a model of Our Lord, who is the True Light which, in the East, rose from the dead.
Like a perfect leader, following the model of His Heavenly Leader, the Holy Father never pointed to himself, but to The One who sent him. And so it should be with all Christians. All the news are talking about the Truth, the Way and the Life without fully realizing it. This is because Our Holy Father did not wish to do anything on his own, but only say the words of The One who sent him. This is the Vicar of Christ, this was Our Pope.
Following his written intention on paragraph 84 of Universi Dominici Gregis I pray to Our Father in heaven to send His Holy Mother to accompany the College of Cardinals in the most delicate task of the election, and to grant them Wisdom, Faith, Love and Hope so that they may, in everything, follow the Will of God, with the aid of Our Mother, Mother Mary, for the sake and salvation of the whole world. Amen
In the Holy Eucharist,
Omar Loggiodice
