I'm saddened by the Holy Father's death, but not upset about it. Rather I'm in awe of it. Throughout his life, the Holy Father consistently preached about the culture of life and the dignity intrinsic to every human person. What struck me about his death is that he faced it head on, preaching by deed and by example what he had always preached by word. In short, the Holy Father showed us how we ought to offer up our human suffering to Christ in our sunset years, regardless of the effects of illness and age. The Holy Father died how he lived -- an Apostle for the dignity of human life.

A great Teacher.
A humble experience facing death.
He taught us courage and decision making.
He taught us what is right and what is wrong.
He ( the Pope ) was and still is a champion in life.
