Pope Benedict leads final public prayer -Sunday Feb 24,2013


Pope Benedict XVI made history by bestowing his final blessing on a cheering crowd of 100,000 people in St. Peter's Square on Sunday. His appearance Sunday from his studio window was his next-to-last public liturgy of his nearly eight-year papacy


Benedict will become the first pointiff to step down in 600 years Thursday. The pope cited his age and diminishing strength as the main reason for his resignation

Benedict went on to thank his tens of thousands of faithful admirers in the square and the church's 1.2 billion members in several languages
