Carole Dormis?

On April 2 the Pope has left us for his first face to face meeting with his Boss. I hope he gets a good evaluation. I never had the occasion to meet the Pope, I only saw him pass by in his famous pope-mobil some 20 years ago. I suppose he didn't notice me otherwise I'm sure he would have given me advice on how to become the most unsuccessful webmarketeer of all times. Now its to late and I'll have to find out myself how to fail.

When some one so important as the Pope dies, it's the occasion to astonish the world with a splendid quote, a 'petite histoire', ... Again I fail, no quotes, no funny jokes: Nope for the Pope!

Yet I want to draw your attention to the title of this blog: Carole Dormis, Carolus (Charles) are you asleep? When the Pope has died, the next in line has to take a small silver hammer and knock gently three times on the forehead of the Pope, asking each time "Carole Dormis?".

This moves me, it's like a mother that sits near the bed of her child an gently asks her child if it sleeps. This small sentences has so much love in it. This small sentences reduces even this mighty man to the essence: he also is 'a child of God'.

May Gods love be with him, with you and with your humble servant.
