A Reflection On Pope Benedict

Words cannot even describe how dearly I miss our Pope. He was a lovely man, so humble, loving, holy and authentic. I miss this man who shepherded us through so many trials with enormous faith and hope. He was human, he had flaws like the rest of us, but he knew what he was doing. Not only was Pope Benedict able to reach out to everyone of us with his loving embrace but with his prayer and spiritual closeness. Along with the great qualities of a man worthy of being pope, and a true shepherd, but he had incredible respect and devotion to the liturgy and the dignity and holiness of the Church. Oh how we need our Papa back with us!

I grew up with Pope Benedict. He was such an incredible roll model of love and charity. He has done enormous good not only for my personal well being, but for the whole Church. How I wish I could still see him as our Pope. How I wish he would have stayed with us to face the trials ahead. But, only a humble man who has the best interests of the Church at heart and love for all of us, would be able to do what he had the courage to do.

We love him and miss him dearly and is in our hearts always.

I love you Holy Father.
