Join Dina Marie Hale and Fr. James Kubicki, SJ as he reflects upon the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI and recalls his humility and profound gift to the Church.  As we pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Benedict, Fr James shares insights from the Holy Father's encyclical on hope: Spe Salve and his first post-synodal apostolic exhortation: Sacramentum caritatis on the role of the Eucharist in our lives.  For more visit: https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20070222_sacramentum-caritatis.html, https://www.vaticannews.va/en.html
