Pope Benedict XVI needs our prayers as pastor of the Catholic Church. His responsibilities call all of us to pray that he continues to inspire the Church by his leadership in the 21st century. This pope has influenced the development of faith in many areas notably in his insightful books about Jesus of Nazareth and his encyclicals on charity. The pontificate of Pope Benedict has witnessed a great movement of going forward in the proclamation of the Catholic faith. Many Anglican bishops and pastors along with their parishes have chosen to become Catholic as a response to his call in the past two years. Benedict XVI is considered a great theologian who published recently two books on the Saviour of humanity: Christ.
If you can, say a novena tonight for the Holy Father.
May God bless Pope Benedict XVI.
