Letter of His Beatitude Sviatoslav regarding the commemoration of His Holiness, the Universal Pontiff, Pope of Rome during the time of sede vacante.

On February 28, 2013, Benedict XVI, now Pope-Emeritus, leaves the Chair of Peter to dedicate himself to a life of prayer and solitude.  We give thanks to God for his scholarly intellect, his loving pastor’s heart, and shining holiness during his eight-year tenure as the head of the Church.  May the Lord bless Pope-Emeritus Benedict and grant him many blessed years!
