VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II is in grave condition, the Vatican said Friday, but it said he is lucid and spent the morning celebrating Mass and receiving some top aides.

The pope seems to be on deaths' door so to speak. He is a great man who has accomplished great things. I know he will be in all our prayers. God bless Pope John Paul II.
