John Paul II died on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday, April 2, 2005, at 21.37 at the Vatican, 18 years ago. He was 84 years old at the time. On this occasion, the president of the Polish government quoted the Polish Pope: "There are moments when we are confronted with facts for which there are no words."
"It has been 18 years since our Dear and Beloved John Paul II passed away to the Father's House," Mateusz Morawiecki wrote. "That evening, we prayed for him in temples, houses, and even - if only in our imaginations," he continued.

"He was an undisputed role model for us, the most outstanding figure in our national history , he was support and hope in difficult times," the Prime Minister emphasised.
"And when he came to our country, he gave us Poles courage and fortified our hearts," Morawiecki wrote.
In his entry, the Polish government's head noted that John Paul II "fixed the gaze of the entire world, offered delight, and was able to build touch both with the great of this world and with those rejected by others to the outskirts of social life."
"Everyone is a child of God, he stated, and he set an example with his life," Morawiecki emphasizes. "He left humanity a testament not to lock the door to God since this is the only road to salvation, truth, and happiness," he continued.
