"And speaking of kindness, at this moment, our thoughts go spontaneously to our dearest Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who left us this morning. It is with emotion that we remember his person so noble, so kind. And we feel in our heart such gratitude, gratitude to God for having gifted him to the Church and the world; gratitude to him, for all the good he has accomplished, and especially for his witness of faith and prayer, especially in these last years of his retired life. Only God knows the value and strength of his intercession, of his sacrifices offered for the good of the Church."
