The Rogito of Pope John Paul II placed in his coffin can be read at EWTN.
It begins: "In the light of Christ risen from the dead, on April 2 of the year of the Lord 2005, at 9:37 p.m., as Saturday was coming to an end, and we had already entered the day of the Lord, octave of Easter and Sunday of Divine Mercy, the beloved pastor of the Church, John Paul II, passed from this world to the Father. The whole Church, in prayer, accompanied him in his passing."
UPDATE: They had this on Cultural Catholic but took it down, so I linked to EWTN instead.
