\n

The funeral mass for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 95, is being held in Saint Peter’s Square, directly in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City<\/a> on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023. It starts at 9:30 a.m. local time, or 3:30 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis will preside over the late pontiff’s funeral processions.<\/p>\n

The Vatican announced Benedict, born in 1927 as Joseph Ratzinger, had passed away Saturday morning at 9:34 a.m.<\/p>\n

The late pontiff’s body is currently being held in Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in Vatican City, where he spent the majority of his life post-papacy.<\/p>\n

POPE EMERITUS BENEDICT XVI DEAD AT 95, VATICAN SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s ceremony will bring an end to a days-long memorial for the late pope as tens of thousands of people paid tribute to his life and legacy from Monday through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Vatican said nearly 160,000 people had passed through the basilica during that time.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the late pope\u2019s body was placed in a cypress coffin \u2013 the first of three coffins \u2013 along with a brief, written summary of his historic papacy, the coins minted during his pontificate and his pallium stoles.<\/p>\n

Thousands also attended the final day of the public viewing of Benedict’s body, lying in state in St. Peter’s Basilica before Thursday\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

POPE BENEDICT’S VISION OF CATHOLICISM, VATICAN II, AND THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH ENDURE THROUGH HIS TEACHINGS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At the Vatican Wednesday, Pope Francis<\/a> praised Pope Benedict for his “acute and gentle thought.” He called Benedict a “great master of catechesis.”<\/p>\n

“His acute and gentle thought was not self-referential, but ecclesial, because he always wanted to accompany us in the encounter with Jesus,” Francis said during his remarks.<\/p>\n

After the funeral, Benedict\u2019s remains will be carried back into the Basilica and the coffin will be placed into a coffin made of zinc and another one made of oak.<\/p>\n

The coffin will then be placed in the crypt once occupied by the tomb of St. John Paul II in the grottos underneath the Basilica, per Benedict\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

POPE BENEDICT’S LAST WORDS, ACCORDING TO HIS BEDSIDE NURSE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Benedict’s personal secretary Archbishop Georg G\u00e4nswein, who attended to him up until his death, told Vatican News a nurse told him the pope made one last profession of love to the Lord in his final words.<\/p>\n

“With just a whisper of a voice, but in a clearly distinguishable manner, [Benedict] said in Italian, ‘Lord, I love you!’ I was not there at the moment, but the nurse told me about it shortly afterwards,” G\u00e4nswein said.<\/p>\n

He added, “These were his last comprehensible words, because afterwards he was no longer able to express himself.”<\/p>\n

POPE BENEDICT’S SECRETARY SOON TO PUBLISH INSIDE STORY OF HIS PAPACY: ‘NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

G\u00e4nswein is expected to share more about Pope Benedict XVI, whom he served in multiple capacities for almost two decades, in a soon-to-be-published book on his experiences with the late pontiff.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Georg G\u00e4nswein serves as the prefect of the papal household and was a constant companion of Pope Benedict before his death.<\/p>\n

The insider book on the late pope is titled, “Nothing but the Truth: My Life Beside Pope Benedict XVI” and his writings reportedly document Pope Benedict’s perspective on major Catholic issues, including the pedophilia scandal, the Vatileaks documents and his own unexpected retirement.<\/p>\n

“These pages contain a personal testimony of the greatness of a meek man, a fine scholar, a cardinal, and a pope who made the history of our time,” G\u00e4nswein told the Italian press of the book. “But they are also a firsthand account that seeks to shed light on some misunderstood aspects of his pontificate and to describe the real \u2018Vatican world\u2019 from within.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
