Pope as Example-All Life is Precious

I just read a blog entry from a newly-ordained priest, Father Dennis, in Iowa. He recounts a recent conversation that he had with his Archbishop. The subject came up that perhaps Pope John Paul II should retire, since he is in such a fragile state. The Bishop pointed out that the Pope has emphasized throughout his papacy, that all life is precious regardless of the state it is in. Now, he is a living example of that message.
