Retired Pope Benedict XVI, has
disclosed that he is now preparing for his death.
Benedict XVI turns 91 in April.
He told the Italian media on
Wednesday that he is fading away.
Benedict, born Joseph Ratzinger
in Germany, retired in February 2013, citing the strains of old age. He was the
first pope to retire in almost 600 years.
The former pontiff said, “I was
moved by the fact that so many readers of your paper want to know how I am spending
this last period of my life.
“The only thing I can say about
this is that, as my physical strength slowly fades, I am on an interior
pilgrimage towards home.”
He said he has so much love and
goodness that he could have never imagined.
He has since been living in a
monastery inside Vatican grounds.
