Full text of Pope's declaration
Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013
BENEDICTUS PP XVI

Catholic Family Life: Haircuts

I cut my boys' hair. There are plastic guides that can be attached to the clipper. It saves time, effort and money. Plus, it's another way to have a one on one time with them.

Catholic Family Life: Violent Video Games

Overheard next room where Billy, 10, was playing League of Legends. Tappy,5, asks, "Which one are you?" "This one" Billy replies. "Why did he die?" Tappy continues. "Why did he die?"  Billy snapped.  " Because you were talking."

Catholic Family Life: Rosary

Even if we pray the Rosary, my kids don't use the beads - out of laziness? or coolness? Anyway, I told them how Our Mother gave the Rosary to St. Dominic de Guzman to use when battling heretics. So, they become interested. But what really peaked their interest was when I brought a glowing one. They turned off the lights and were taking turns to use it. They're 13, 10, 9, 4 & 2. Strangely we've managed to pray it every night for 2 years or so without having unruly and disruptive behavior. It is as though the Rosary calms them down and provides that outer worldly aura bringing peace and a different kind of happiness.
