Pope Benedict XVI announced this morning that he is resigning from the Chair of Saint Peter effective February 28th, 2013. This announcement came as a surprise to most of the world, and a shock to many of us. However, he had announced earlier in his papacy that he would consider resignation if he felt his age or health was not permitting his to fulfill his responsibilities. He was 78 when he became Pope and he has served for 7 or 8 years.
Thank You Lord, for Popes who lead Your Church faithfully in accordance w/ Your Will. Please guide Your Church in the election of our next Pope, that we may be a faithful witness to You and a Light to the world.
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning
is now
and ever shall be
world w/out end.
Amen!
