We kiss the hand of the Pope out of respect for his office as successor of Saint Peter. In fact, it is the ring [the Fisherman's Ring] which one kisses. Note it has been on the Holy Father's left hand a lot since his accident. Normally it's worn on the third finger of the right hand.
@whateveryouthink100 Because it shows LOVE...We as Christians should show LOVE for one another...Read the Parable of the Good Samaritan and tell me what is the greatest commandment of all.
I love you, Benedict XVI, and I always, always will!
I am sure those Memores Domini ladies know how precious you are and will care for you well. Even so.......I wish I could be there. A kiss to you over the miles!
my earlier point was not understood.. i meant people use religion to distress or not have fear,so they dont get stressed out and go for an vacation.. so what is the difference if the head of the religion goes to a vacation when his philosophy is supposed to help us in life and support us. He takes a vacation just like the rest of us who cant handle life better. His ideology is not working for him to!
So your point is that Christians don't have to go on vacation, because our faith protects us from stress?! Hey now!! You better keep this theses to yourself! You'll have various EU governments re-think their approach to labor protection laws. I assume you've missed the point of Christianity. Stress relieve is one of the benefits, not the focal point.
Vacation is important for everybody. Christian or not! Do you only go on vacation when you're stressed out!?
Holy Father pls use a cane or be escorted by younger deacons or priest,not by old bishops,archbishop or cardinal.Your spirit is strong but your body is weak(St. Paul)We love you very much.Cristus Vincit,Cristus Regnat, Cristus Emperat
probably because he broke his right wrist, and most people he greets reach for his ring hand to kiss it. Other hand means the right wrist gets to heal.
It's not easy running a church with over a billion people in it. Plus, the pope himself has said he doesn't even take a full holiday--he takes some work with him!
Bless you your Holines

Please take care of yourself, Papa, my prayers go with you.
I send you a kiss by e-mail to help your bones heals. It always worked for my children when they were little.
