Four years ago today

Four years ago today, the Cardinal-electors chose Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, the self-described "simple and humble laborer in the vineyard of the Lord," as the 265th Successor to the See of Saint Peter.

It was a moment that filled me with great joy. I was in the seminary at the time and posted about the election here.

Let us ask Almighty God to pour forth the riches of his Divine Mercy upon the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI and bless him with good health and length of days. Ad multos annos!

Happy anniversary, Your Holiness!
