5 days had passed since that picture of the Pope giving a blessing different. She was quiet and you could sense the tremendous effort and pain I felt, the pain that the "tied" and declined.
His illness had consumed at all, it was amazing to see that man who could hold the weight of the Church, and even more, of the century. There were
Stefania Mauro, A St. Peter's Square because "his" father was dying. Soon many young people accompanied him from the place that 26 years ago it announced "Habemus Papam .. Cardinale: Wojtyla ", but this time were full of anguish. The world was full of anguish, not only Catholics but the entire world. Well, in the worst case, John Paul II is a prominent figure in the century just ended 5 years ago.
The crowd began to cheer the Pope to encourage him as saying, "Here we are, Holy Father." Stefania Mauro and also began to encourage the crowd until you heard a familiar Mauro him behind his back saying: "For so long you look. " It was not reproachfully, but rather was slyly friendly. Mauro
turned sharply because it recognized the voice but could not identify. He saw no familiar face auque those words rang in his ears, his head and heart. Already
evening, the medical announced a final and inevitable decline that was in full agony was only a matter of hours.
For Mauro, Stefania, all of which were in St. Peter's Square and around the world began to feel a pain in the soul that could not avoid. The Holy Father was saying goodbye to this world, to "their bags" to go to the Father's house.
Just after 10 pm in San Peter Argentine Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, delivered the most painful words that many young people heard in their lives: "Our beloved Pope John Paul II, has returned to the house of the Father." Tears flowed from every eye, the man who had defeated the Nazis and communists, arrested and prevented many wars without violence, but truth, justice, reason and love. He was gone forever, leaving in each of the people in San Pedro and the world a sense of abandonment, orphaned! Last
one-thirty in the morning, and Stefania Mauro went home with great sorrow in his heart, crying the loss of their spiritual father. In the deepest silence, Mauro Stefania left at home and went to rest in hers.
The next morning, called his work Mauro announcing that it was not working for national mourning. The Chief Mauro was not a believer but very friendly and like most of its employees are Catholic, did not want to work with the moral to the ground.
Mauro left his house to buy the newspaper back home, started reading all the notes on the death of the Pope. Suddenly turned pale, his mother noticed and asked
- "Mauro, what's wrong, son?" Mauro
unresponsive and was astonished to read these lines:
... Around 7 pm, The Holy Father heard from his deathbed
a young crowd chanting his name to what the Holy Father said
"FIND THE TIME SO COME TO ME NOW."
Those were his last words were directed at young people, their eternal and tireless efforts ...
