Let us Pray.

I am not a Catholic, but I think this is a time when we, of any faith, should pray.
A top cardinal called on the world’s one billion Roman Catholics to pray for Pope John Paul, who he said was in “a bad way.”
The ailing 83-year-old pontiff on Sunday put perhaps his last stamp on the group that will chose his successor, naming 31 new cardinals. Many of the new “princes” are from the developing world, boosting the chances of another non-Italian pope.
“He is in a bad way,” Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger the German head of the Vatican body which oversees doctrinal matters, was quoted on Tuesday as saying.
“We should pray for the Pope,” Ratzinger told Germany’s Bunte magazine in an interview conducted last Monday. The Polish pontiff is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease and missed a general audience last week which the Vatican insisted was due to a “minor” intestinal problem.
