The message preached by a faithful Pope is consistent, coherent, and effective for those who receive it and who therefore 'live in the light'. It is a message for the whole world. And Pope John Paul II, who has preached it so well, and has now died, has 'soared' into the heart of the Godhead, in death - a 'place' with which he was familiar through prayer.

The great 'height' to which a saintly soul reaches still falls far shot of the infinite 'heights' of the holiness of God, from whom we receive life, and faith and hope.

We ought to prepare for a 'good death'. A soul in danger can be saved, by faith and the sacraments - whether little known people or Popes.
