Pope Benedict RIP

This week, with the Church, throughout the world, we remember, and pray for Pope Emeritus, Benedict XI, who led the Church for almost eight years, until his resignation in 2013. Cardinal Nichols has described him as ‘through and through a gentleman, through and through a scholar, through and through a pastor, through and through a man of God, close to the Lord and always, always his humble servant.’

May he rest in peace and rise in glory!
