Bishop Wester celebrated Mass today for the intention of Pope Benedict XVI. The elements of the Transfiguration as depicted in today's Gosepel “seem very, very beautifully to sum up Pope Benedict XVI’s courageous and humble decision to surrender one form of ministry in order to accept another," Bishop Wester said. "I believe that our Holy Father is demonstrating for us the transfiguration at work in him and in our Church. The Pope recognizes, humbly and courageously, that he is called to surrender to Christ – only Christ – and that Christ will renew him and will renew the Church in his transfigured role, and this action will be for the good of all and for the good of the Church.”
