Bidding farewell to Benedict XVI: Translation to St. Peter's Basilica - ...


"To love the church also means having the courage to take difficult decisions," he said at the time of his resignation. He continued to serve in a reduced clerical role until recent health issues caused him to retreat from the public eye. In the quiet chambers of Vatican City, where centuries echo with sacred whispers, A humble servant of faith once stood, His papal mantle heavy with history.


Benedict XVI, the shepherd of souls, Guided the faithful through tempests and calm, His pontificate marked by wisdom and grace, A bridge between ancient rites and modern days.

In the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica, He ascended the throne, white-robed and resolute, A scholar’s mind, a poet’s heart, His gaze fixed on eternity’s horizon.

“To love the church,” he declared, “Means having the courage to take difficult decisions.” And so, with trembling hands and steadfast resolve, He stepped down from the Chair of Peter.

The first in six centuries to yield the keys, To relinquish the weight of infallibility, He became a pilgrim, a prayerful wanderer, Seeking solace in the cloisters of contemplation.

His words, like incense rising, Lingered in the hallowed halls: “Pray for me,” he implored, As the world watched a pope become a man.

In the twilight of his days, He donned the simple cassock of a monk, His footsteps echoing through ancient corridors, A living testament to humility and frailty.

And now, as the bells toll mournfully, We bid farewell to a faithful servant, A scholar, a theologian, a gentle soul, Whose legacy transcends marble and mitre.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, rest in peace, Your journey complete, your burdens laid down. May the angels guide you to celestial realms, Where saints and sages await your company.

The faithful kneel in prayer, Their hearts heavy yet uplifted, For you, dear pontiff, have left an indelible mark, A testament to faith, courage, and love.

Requiescat in pace. 🙏🕊️
