Vatican City, Feb 28, 2013 \/ 04:25 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- Echoing the disciples on the Road to Emmaus, Cardinal Angelo Sodano told Pope Benedict that the cardinals\u2019 hearts \u201cburned when walking with you in the past eight years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cYes, Holy Father, I know that our hearts that burned when walking with you in the past eight years. Today we want to once again express our gratitude. We repeat in chorus a typical expression of his dear native land \u2018Vergelt's Gott,\u2019 which means? God reward you!\u201d Cardinal Sodano said on behalf of the cardinals.<\/p>\n

\tPope Benedict met with all the cardinals who were present in Rome on Feb. 28, his last day as pontiff. Around 144 cardinals and numerous members of the Roman Curia gathered in the Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace for a final farewell and to thank the Pope for his eight years leading the Church.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWith great trepidation,\u201d Cardinal Sodano began, \u201cthe cardinals present in Rome huddle around you today, to once again express their deep affection and our heartfelt gratitude for your selfless witness of apostolic service, for the good of the Church of Christ and humanity as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe recalled how Pope Benedict thanked the cardinals last Saturday for their assistance during his papacy, and remarked, \u201cit is we who must thank you for the example you gave us in the past eight years of your pontificate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tPerhaps in a reference to the difficulties that experienced by Pope Benedict, Cardinal Sodano said, \u201cwith deep love we tried to accompany you in your journey, reliving the experience of the disciples of Emmaus who, after walking with Jesus for a good stretch of road, they said to one another: \u2018Do not perhaps it was burning our heart, when we talked on the way?\u2019\u201d
