The Australian: Pope’s blessing ‘probably recorded’ [ 07feb05 ]: “THE words of Pope John Paul II’s Angelus blessing today were ‘probably recorded’ after his voice faltered when he started to deliver the traditional blessing from his hospital window, Italian media reported.”

I think we’re all praying for the Pope’s full recovery. He’s an extraordinary man and an example of what a life grounded in faith can accomplish. While I may not agree with every stance he’s taken, he’s accomplished so much more in his life than most of us could ever dream of. He’s one of my heroes.
