I am very impressed by the humility and courage that Pope Benedict XVI has shown in his stepping down, or abdication, of his Papacy. I admire him so much for leaving his Petrine ministry with grace, knowing that he is not physically able to meet the demands that come with being the spiritual Father for a Billion Catholics.
One of the highlights of my life has been a pilgrimage that I made in April of 2008 to New York City to go to Mass at Yankee Stadium said By Pope Benedict XVI. I will always remember that trip and being in Yankee stadium for this special mass.
I am thankful that we had Pope Benedict XVI to lead the church.
