Happy 80th Birthday, Holy Father

Happy birthday to you, dear Pope. I join the whole world in singing you a birthday song today. And I fervently pray that you may remain gentle as our shepherd, patient as our teacher, strong as our bridge, loving as our friend, caring as our brother, and humble as our father.

(The Vatican website has set aside a page wherein people can leave their birthday greetings for Pope Benedict XVI. If you want to send your greetings, please follow this link).

    Hi
    Thanks for the link! We should encourage people to realize that Pope Benedict is Our Pope and stop comparing him to John Paul II. He is our new shepherd and we should appreciate his style of leadership.
