“I will not forget the lessons you have taught me…” – UPDATES

You all know I am not a sentimentalist.

I’m always suspicious of emotionalism and of course, tough-as-nails, right? But I am human! And this video which Kevin Knight put up at New Advent got me all verklempt!

It’s just priests, saying thank you to Pope Benedict. But it’s very moving.

And with this sort of thing, that so few of us even knew about, it’s like, “yeah…thank you for that, too!”

UPDATE I:
And a video of young people saying thank you, too!

UPDATE II:
Fresh off of asking whether Online prayer is real, Lisa Hendey creates a spiritual bouquet and space for saying auf wiedersehen, until we meet again!
