In an interview released to Associated Press
(AP) on the eve of the retired pontiff’s
birthday, his secretary, Monsignor Georg
Gaenswein, said
“The emeritus pope thinks about death and is
preparing for his death, ” Gaenswein said in an
interview with Mediaset television this
week.”It’s a Christian art, because preparing
for one’s death means preparing to meet
God.”
Ratzinger became the first pope in 600 years
to step down, saying he didn’t have the
strength of body or spirit to carry on.
Pope Benedict (Rtd) spends his time reading
and keeping up with his correspondences,
receiving guests and occasionally playing the
piano.
