He read from benedict's own writings about his parents, showing how grateful he was for his upbringing.

"Through this valued experience, he acquired humility that became second nature to him, leaving him with the palpable sense of being connected with others. It's no wonder that when he called the church to take up works of charity in his first encyclical, "Deus Caritas Es," he reminded us that love needs to be organized."
