Ecclesiastes 1:18 .The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know, the more it hurts.
The more you know about people, the more trust in people declines
The more you know more about health, the more you worry of hygiene and cancer
Soln. I don't want to know more

“'Do not be afraid!’ the Lord repeats to us too: if we trust in His word, we will play the game of life well, and we will be able to help others. As the Psalm says, His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.” #PopeFrancis#GeneralAudience

"The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right..."

At 78 years of age, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected the 265th Pope on the second day of the conclave. He chose the name Benedict XVI
On 19 April 2005, Cardinal Protodeacon Jorge Arturo Medina Estévez pronounced the formula: “Annuntio vobis, gaudium magnum, habemus Papam!”
Gentleness of soul and deep humility shone out right from the beginning of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s Petrine ministry
He guided the Barque of Peter out of a humble but firm love for the Church, in calm and stormy waters toward the secure port of faith in Jesus Christ
During his pontificate, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI made 24 Apostolic Journeys abroad; created 84 cardinals; proclaimed 45 saints and 855 blesseds (among them Pope John Paul II).
His desire to bring "God back to the centre" was evident in all of his actions.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Benedict XVI & join Catholics around the world in mourning this great loss.
We take comfort in the words of this prayer:
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
