$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Just a few days after Pope Francis asked for prayers for Pope Benedict XVI, it was announced today that Pope Benedict has died.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican. Further information will be provided as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was the Pope of my four years of study in Rome. \u00a0I felt particularly close to him, following his apostolic journeys, and buying his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est<\/em>, the day that it was published from the Vatican Printing Press.<\/p>\n

May he Rest In Peace.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
