Pope Benedict a Prophet

Prayer from His Mass of Installation

H/t Socon or Bust

Boy, did he hit the nail on the head.

“My dear friends – at this moment I can only say: pray for me, that I may learn to love the Lord more and more. Pray for me, that I may learn to love his flock more and more – in other words, you, the holy Church, each one of you and all of you together. Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves. Let us pray for one another, that the Lord will carry us and that we will learn to carry one another.” -  Pope Benedict at his installation Mass as Pope in 2005

Our Beloved Pontiff needs us to hold him up in prayer.  He is our Peter.  The wolves sure are at the door.
