Celine Dion's comments on Pope John's death.

 

    MONTREAL, April 2 /CNW Telbec/ - "My meeting with His Holiness was one of

the strongest moments in my life. He was reflecting an incredible force and a

charisma admired by all . He was the Pope of the reconciliation and unit among

the countries. For that, he was loved, respected and venerated by everyone. I

am sad of his departure, but happy knowing that he does not suffer anymore. He

leaves us with a message of courage and love. My prayers and my affection

accompany him."

I hope she knows how much her words about Pope mean to me. I'm Polish and Pope's death is a real tragedy over here. And to hear one of my favorite artists speak such nice words about him really gave me chills.

[Bellamy]

I'm sure Celine mean those words very seriously. she's catholic, she adore the pope, and she met him when she was young.

[Ania]

Well, the fact that she said what she said just makes me admire her even more. She's an extraordinary singer and person.

Celine Dion Thanks Late Pope For Spiritual Experience

 

Canadian singer Celine Dion has paid an emotional tribute to late Pope John Paul II by recalling the spiritual experience she shared with the Holy Father which changed her life.

 

The “My Heart Will Go On" singer believes her religious faith began in 1984 when she was 16 years old, during her first performance for the Pope.

 

She ended her song "A Dove" by releasing hundreds of doves, and was amazed when a single bird perched on the Pope's shoulder and refused to leave him.

 

A decade later she had the opportunity to thank the leader of the Catholic Church for the religious moment, when he invited Dion, her husband Rene Angelil and her mother, Therese, to a private audience with him in Rome, Italy.

 

She says, "It was a moment, like time stopped. The emotion was bigger than everything. You sensed this incredible force."

 

"It was definitely one of the strongest moments in my life, like being in contact with heaven."

 

Angelil adds, "He spoke to us in French when we met him. He blessed our families and wished Celine the best."

 

The Polish-born Pope died in his private apartment in The Vatican on Saturday at the age of 84.
