I remember the day Fr. Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope. We’re before television awaiting Lord’s decision. There it came…. As white fumes hovered over Vatican City announcing Fr. Joseph Ratzinger’s name, our Professor Fr. Zacharias Kariyilakkulam sprang up from his Chair shouting for joy and his hands were up in the air. I was sad over the death of Pope John Paul II, still this image went deep into my heart and amazed me for a long time. I’d a strong filial love towards John Pau II. I never thought I could ever love the new Pope so dearly as I did Pope John Paul I,I until I read his speeches. They’re so touching and go deep into heart. It fills me with some new energy and inspires me. Now I feel the same of love towards our Holy Father Benedict XVI. Thank you Lord for the blessings you’ve showered on our Holy Father. Lord, bless our Holy Father
