Benedict XVI: "The Church is yours, Lord"

Pope Benedict XVI talking to the priests and deacons of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in 2006.
"So many things should be done, yet I see that I am not capable of doing them. This is true, I imagine, for many pastors, and it is also true for the Pope, who ought to do so many things! My strength is simply not enough. In this way I learn to do what I can and I leave the rest to God and to my assistants, saying: “Ultimately you must do this work, Lord, because the Church is yours. You give me only the energy I have. I give it to you, since it comes from you; everything else I place in your hands.” I believe that the humility which prompts us to say: “my energy goes no further, I leave you, Lord, to do the rest” is crucial. And then trust is needed: he will give me the assistants I need, and they will do what I am unable to do."

Holy father I love you so much

I have no idea what the comment below is trying to say, so I will attempt to translate it, as follows. Pope Benedict's Magnificent Papacy of eight years was among the greatest the church has seen. His humility, his personal holiness, and his authentic teaching have seldom been matched in papal history. It is a virtual certainty that he will someday be named a Doctor of the Church.
