Last day that Pope Benedict will be Pope. Tomorrow, he will be looking on like anyone else wondering what is going on inside the Vatican. I admire him for his willingness to step down. He says that he never had one moment of privacy and this apparently has been a problem as he ages and faces death on his own.
He says he is tired. I take him at his word. Today he gives his last blessing to the throngs of people. I have a feeling that the greatest blessing he will be giving to himself as he takes that ten minute flight to another monastery and a sense of privacy which has eluded him for all these years.
