remembering Pope Benedict's wisdom and faith

[MarieT]

remembering this giant humble saint, pope, extraordinary human being, always encouraging Catholics on their faith journey with his messages of faith hope and charity, and defending the faith like the fierce lion he was when it came to protecting the Deposit of Faith as entrusted to him. We miss you Papa Benedetto. Pray for us during these difficult times.

"Strong faith must go through trials.
A living faith must always grow.
Our faith in Jesus Christ, in order to stay that way,
must often be compared to the lack of faith in others."
Pope Benedict XVI - from the Speech to the Youth in Krakow
May 27, 2006
