Grateful to Pope Benedict XVI

Feb 11, 2014

A year has passed since the historical gesture of Pope Benedict XVI – done in all conscience, with courage and great humility. That gesture changed the face of the Church and we remember him with our hearts full of gratitude.

A year has passed since the historical gesture of Pope Benedict XVI – done in all conscience, with courage and great humility. That gesture changed the face of the Church and we remember him with our hearts full of gratitude.

In his last Angelus, on February 24, 2013, we were touched by his words: «The Lord is calling me “to scale the mountain”, to devote myself even more to prayer and meditation.»

Thank you Pope Benedict for having been an instrument of the Holy Spirit!
