Pope wrote of 'dark shadows' over mankind

VATICAN CITY - Shortly before his last trip to the hospital, Pope John Paul II warned of “dark shadows” enveloping humanity.

A message, posthumously released on Friday, was one of the last pieces of writing by the pope before he died nearly two weeks ago.

“In our day human society appears to be shrouded in dark shadows while it is shaken by tragic events and shattered by catastrophic natural disasters,” the pope wrote in a message for the Roman Catholic Church’s World Day of Missions.
The article is here. Still looking for the complete message.
