wow reading the article in there about him
"after months of intimations, the world knew at last the sorrowful reality-- and pope john XXIII himself conceded it: despise remarkable rallies, his life was ebbing away. The 81 year old pontiff had lifted his arms and said " More than in the hands of sciences, we now are in the hands of god." Told that the world was praying for him, he took hope, not for his life but that these supplications would bring " copious favors" upon the church, humanity and ecumenical council, which he had called to modernize catholicism.
This is from the 1963 issues
they thought he was gonna die then
and he finally went - 2005
