I know He is still with us, but I really miss His Real Presence. It has only been a few hours but I miss Pope Benedict already – he is Jesus to me … gentle, yet firm … loving, yet brutally honest … a holy man through and through … a humble shepherd leading his flock to Heaven … a truthful man in whom I could put my trust … a quiet leader who is showing us that every stage of life is important … that praying for the Church is a worthwhile endeavor and an essential duty … Vive il Papa!
