Pope Benedict Pope Quotations

No pope ever left us as many texts as he did; no pope in the past was able to visit all the world like he did and to speak directly to men of all continents. But in the end, he was struck by the path of suffering and silence.

We can be sure our beloved pope is standing today at the window of the father's house, that he sees us and blesses us.

This great pope has left us an immense heritage. John Paul II was living these very hours, in this very room, the last stage of his pilgrimage on earth, a pilgrimage of faith, love and hope, which left a profound mark on the history of the Church and of humanity.

And it was from this desire to serve the church in the most useful and efficient way that the vow of special obedience to the pope was born.

The dove wants to stay with the pope but it will find its freedom.
