Praying...
...for our dear and beloved Benedict XVI. A sad day. God will reward him for his humility and courage...and for all his years of magnificent service to the Church.
I am feeling thoroughly numb. It seems like nothing in this world is consistent anymore. I admire his Holiness for taking this bold step on behalf of the Church, but I feel sick at having to lose him. He has become a father figure for the Church and he will be sorely missed.

ReplyDeleteI'll miss Pope Benedict, He is one of the rarest & wisest, most cultured men I know, my prayers for him and his successor.
ReplyDeletePlease also Auntie, could you pray for my son who is looking for a job at present. God knows I have petitioned all the saints.
Much appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks, Auntie. Meanwhile, today's New York Times tells us what we are supposed to think about the Holy Father:
