Pope Benedict

My prayers are with you as you begin this new phase of your life.
—Guest Kathy

Thank You

Just a congratulatory message. You have guided us for the last eight years through guidance of the Lord Jesus. I thank you for being sincere to accept that the Lord has granted you multiple years to serve and that now age has caught up. You didn't chose to remain the head of the church despite the challenges, but you opted to leave the ceremonial part so that you could guide us through prayer. May the Lord continue to guide you as you continue with his mision. Pray too that we may increase our faith in the Lord in this year of faith. And that the conclave may appoint your successor through guidance of our Mother Mary.

Thanks

Many thanks for your love of God and of the people of God which you have shown us throughout these years. Your writings and reflections have inspired me to be patient, courageous, constant in prayer, loving and to Trust God in all things. No words can express the gratitude i have in my heart. Pray for me, i will pray for you too. I know you are still with us and you are having a new mission of spending more time in prayer and meditation. I will be happy to continue reading your writings. Thank you my FATHER.

My Dear Holy Father

Thank you for all your service and devotion to Our Lord and us, your flock! As a member of The Diocese Of Gaylord I wish to thank you for our wonderful Bishop Bernard Hebda. May you be held in the palm of The Lord's hands the rest of your life on earth! I will work diligently to one day meet you in Heaven!
—Guest Sally Ann Schaar

Thank you

Dear Pope Benedict, When Pope John Paul II passed I did the special prayers for him and a small dove immediately flew by my window. I know he was thanking me. I know prayers work. I will pray for you Pope Benedict, and I thank you for your service. Please pray for the consecration of Russia! I pray every day! I was hoping it would be you but I will trust the Blessed Mother's promise.
