Weird

I suspect it's going to take me a while to really get used to JPII being gone. I find that this week when I read the phrase "the Pope" in a news story, I initially picture John Paul. Despite the fact I've been thinking about, reading about, and praying for Pope Benedict for over a week now, those two words "the Pope" still immediately bring our late beloved Papa to mind for a second or two, before I go, "Oh, wait a minute...." And it's still really strange to see somebody else in that white cassock.
