Pope Benedict taught us much during his papacy, but the most enduring lessons may be of humility and fraternity. His historic decision to resign when he could no longer fulfill his duties to the best of his ability demonstrates his love for our Lord and our Church. The way that he has lived quietly, in a brotherly friendship with his successor, Pope Francis, is a model for all Catholics to follow as we continue to journey together in service to Jesus and His Church.

Just as the shepherds and the kings came to adore the Infant Christ, we, too, come to adore Him who makes Himself present on the Altar. Just as the ancient Hebrews were fed of the flesh of the lamb offered in sacrifice in the temple in Jerusalem, so, we are fed with the Flesh of the Lamb of God at Mass.
