In his last day as Pope, Pope Benedict XVI thanks the who came to welcome him for their support and love.
“Thank you for your love and support,” the pope tweeted from his @Pontifex account on Twitter. “May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives.”
This is the tweet from Pope Benedict XVI while leaving the Vatican after resigning from the position of Pope making him the first Pope to do so in the last 600 years.
The 85-year-old pontiff was flown by helicopter to the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo, near Rome.
With church bells ringing across Rome, the pope was driven to the helipad on the Vatican grounds for the 15-minute flight to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence where he assumed the title “pope emeritus” after 8 p.m. local time.
“Thank you very much for your friendship,” he said.
