Grateful

Dear Pope Benedict XVI, Your Excellency, we are very much grateful to you for your enormous contribution to the Church and the entire Christian community of the world at large. Please continue to guide and enlighten us.

Special Prayer of Thanks

Thank you, Pope Benedict XVI, for being open to the Spirit, for all the prayers you have offered for us and the work you have undertaken on our behalf. Greeting you when you visited UK was special. Thank you for coming to Birmingham. God bless you always.

Having Pope Benedict XVI reminds me of what a priceless gift i have of being a Roman Catholic. His talents and being a clear witness to the love of Christ is so obvious. I was speechless with joy when he was elected Pope for I was always a fan when he was Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, and now I am so sad at his departure. Nevertheless I feel happy for him as I know he is now feeling peaceful and fulfilled to be allowed to continue his worship of Our Lord Jesus Christ in spiritual tranquility before his pilgrimage on this earth comes to an end. Will we ever have a Pope of this calibre again? We just have to wait and see.

Thank You For the Gift of Pope Benedict

May God be praised and glorified for gifting His Church with the right leader and model at the right time in history. The Benedict XVI story is obviously the will of God. Thank you, Holy Father, for accepting to be used by God. I pray that you will continue to cooperate with the grace of God in the next task that the Lord has asked you to carry out for Him and for His Church.
