ENG - Pope Benedict remembers sixth anniversary of Pope John Paul.
Dear brothers and Sisters, yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the death of my beloved predecessor, the Pope John Paul II. Because of his upcoming beatification, I did not celebrate the traditional Mass for the repose of his soul, but I fondly remembered him in prayer, as I think also did all of you. "While, through our Lenten journey, we prepare for the feast of Easter, we are also joyfully approaching the day when we will venerate as Blessed this great witness of Christ and Pope and rely even more on his intercession".
