April 2, 2010 is the fifth anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II. We remember him as a great "man of God" who saw everything through the eyes of faith. Millions of people of various creeds, sex and color consider him as a perfect example of a great spiritual life. To Catholics, his entire life was a prayer.
When he was elected as the Vicar of Christ on Earth, he sounded a call for peace. His long pontificate was for peace! He started and continued relentless efforts towards the reconciliation of differences with the Eastern Orthodox Church, Lutheran Church and other denominational sects including Judaism. The late Pope John Paul II was the first Pope to have ever visited Israel and the synagogue in Rome.
