Speaking of Benedict XVI after the late pope’s death, Archbishop Gänswein made a striking remark about prayer and spiritual closeness.
Archbishop Georg Gänswein says the late Pope’s joyful witness and fidelity to the Church make a strong case for advancing his cause without delay.
The former prefect of the papal household and longtime personal secretary to Pope Benedict XVI drew deeply on the late pontiff’s philosophy as he delivered the keynote address at a conference.
Archbishop Gänswein spoke about his role as a nuncio and the Holy See’s peace efforts in a June 13 interview with Rudolf Gehrig of EWTN News and CNA Deutsch.
‘Just looking into his eyes was enough to see the gentleness there — a clear and resolute gentleness, which can sometimes be firmer than marble.’
Speaking to EWTN, Archbishop Gänswein emphasized his spiritual approach when preparing for the assignment.
Archbishop Georg Gänswein was the personal secretary of the late Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
The future role of the late Benedict’s secretary has been the subject of rumor and gossip across Rome and the Church in Germany for many months.
His friendship with Christ, love for truth, and ‘remarkable’ ability to communicate were just some of the late pontiff’s qualities remembered at a two-day Rome conference on the first anniversary of his death.
BOOK PICK: Archbishop Gänswein’s new book is both a biography of Joseph Ratzinger and partial autobiography of the papal secretary, highlighting friendship centered in Christ.
