~ Pope Benedict XVI - Vatican City

Audience with Pope Benedict XVI

“Knowing when to walk away, is Wisdom. Being able to, is Courage. Walking away with Grace, and your head held high, is Dignity. (Ritu Ghatourey)

I had the enviable experience of going to an audience with a living Pope and seeing him close-up. This Pope is Pope Benedict XVI - our newly retired Pope. During Easter Week, a few years ago, I had this historical experience. With all the furor surrounding Pope Benedict’s decision to resign from the Papacy and the election of Pope Francis, I decided to revisit that special time by looking at my Rome photos. These two collages were created as a result of that reminiscence.
