I look back to April and May 2005 and remember a very calm yet tired-looking man as our Pope. The burden of responsibility must have been intense, but after that, Benedict XVI has truly blessed the Church.
Here is a brief list of some of his work this past year:
- August: World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany
- October: Synod on the Eucharist
- November 13: Beatifies Charles de Foucauld, Maria Pia Mastena, and Maria Crocifissa Curcio
- December: Open Beatification for 43
- January: Releases "Deus Caritas Est" (God is love)
- February: Elevates Cardinals
- March: Drops title of "Patriarch of the West"

Thanks so much for this tribute. I love our Holy Father and will always remember this day and the feeling of utter joy I had when he was elected to be our Pope. Praise the Lord!
God bless you,
Jean
I was also so happy. I wanted him to be the one elected, so it was so wonderful. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the annoucement - I'll never forget.
