Dear JP Augustine,
Wow. Before reading this post, I was thinking of a JW friend of mine, and for some strange reason from there, I started thinking of a dream I had where the Pope John Paul came to visit me here in America. And then I read your post, only to see the exact same thing as I’m thinking in my mind at that very same instant !!!
Do you think you will go physically to Rome? Spiritually it certainly seems like you’ve made the trip! * smiles *
Like you, my dream occurred before the Pope’s death. In the dream, the Pope remained seated in a special chair, due to his poor health. Before he died, either I was not able to see or was not yet ready to allow myself to see what the dream meant. After all, the Pope did not even speak in the dream … only chuckled good-naturedly once at something I said. But after he died, I knew that there was an action he had wanted me to take, and if I did not take that action, I would end up dearly regretting it.
I think the Pope must have prayed for the intention of strong family life in America, and then it turned out that the grace from that prayer was more specifically applied to me.
I suppose the coincidence just now implies that if the opportunity to bring up this dream arises in my next telephone call to my JW friend, I should do my best to bring it up. Been wondering how to talk to her lately, as she’s kept her religion secret from me for 13 years and I’ve only recently been let in on her secret through a JW website link in an otherwise blank and impersonal e-mail. She still can’t bring herself to tell me with her own voice.
