Round-up: John Paul the Great

Other industrious bloggers have been covering the one year anniversary of John Paul II's death, so I will simply point to their prodigious efforts:

• St. Peter's Helpers has a wonderful series of posts commemorating the late Pontiff
• Amy Welborn has a thread asking readers "Where were you?" when you heard the news (my response is second in the list). Amy Welborn also posts "The Last Days of John Paul"
• Pope Benedict recalls JP2 in his Angelus address today.
• Bettnet brings back his posts from last year, as well as a video tribute.
• The Anchoress has a massive stickied post - highly recommended.
• Closed Cafeteria has a wonderful series of photos.
• Happy Catholic has her round-up.
• Curt Jester makes his picks.
• For more pictures, try the USCCB (which I've mentioned before).

Sorry to not add anything unique of my own to the mix, but words really fail me when I try to describe the man who was John Paul the Great. I believe that in this case quite prayer is the best way to commemorate it, so that is what I'm doing.

Santo Subito Giovanni Paulo!
