GOOD MORNING! - Papa-pix to start your day

'BRAUTIGAM"!

Oh oh oh !!!!! Don't do this to a girl just as she's off to dreamland........I never seem to get to this thread in the morning, so it's my place of Buona Notte! Those last five pics, Teresa Benedetta are totally STUNC!!!!!!!!!!!
What's a girl to do?
This is the stuff that dreams are made of............
Dream a little dream of Joseph Ratzinger.............
Nan,where are you? We should collapse in a hopeless heap together!
Or go into orbit...........lift off! Oops - I knew it!
Buona Notte, liebe und freude - Mary x

Oh good, will you show me some good hiding places...please?

GIRLS,

You know he takes long daily walks in the Vatican gardens without fail. Hide well!

I HAVE NO WORDS - or only to gasp out, thank you, Simone, for this amazing video-cap.
(Reader, please go to UFFICIO for other photos captured by our Simone from a German year-end docu).

wowowee!!!

In the absence of any new photos (since Angelus yesterday) from the regular sources, Ratzigirl has discovered a Czech "photo-bank" from which this picture comes:

Almost missed this, from Ratzigirl:

HELP! Please will someone save all the super STUNC photos on this page for me? I'm so afraid they will disappear. The profile that Teresa Benedetta posted is to die for. And then all those video captures .....wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better go now!
Ciao a tutte amice!
Love, Mary x
Love you, Papa!

I'm still in the library and have five minutes left!
Come in, Mary, your time is up.........

To help make you feel better today, here are three pics Ratzigirl chooses to laminate into wallet cards:


MARYJOS - Don't worry about the STUNC pics; they are all on ImageShack.

THE PERFECT MEDICINE

Especially for the heart.

Thanks, Teresa.

Emma in the main forum found this newspaper photograph of Ratzi shortly before he was named Archbishop of Munich in 1977.
[But the photograph is printed wrong, with Ratzi's hair part on the wrong side! - May be Simone can correct it???]

la raie des cheveux est du mauvais côté
= photo inversée ; dommage

for finding the photo Teresa and then correcting it Sylvie... sigh

UMMMM CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HIM!!!

Good Morning girls
Oh WOW ! I've never seen this absolutely STUNC and SMUACK photo of Papa at 50. His beauty is beyond any description
He always looks younger than his age. I would never consider him 50 years old here on that pic. Anyway, now he looks much younger than 78 years too. Dear Papa, please tell us how you are doing this !!

Oh Wow; suddenly I'm having a very good morning!!!

STUNC

Turned, in original size

Dinabella, you are so right. He is absolutely amazing.

What a stunning photo!!!

this pic is probably one of the most beautiful Ratzi-versions. Thanks!!

If you like the gorgeous STUNC and SMUACK pict of our not-yet-Papa (above), I promise you 42 seconds on the Ratzinger Heights, on cloud 19, in orbit, in Paradise…… (if you have RealPlayer)

From my current place in Ratzinger Heights, on cloud 19, in orbit, in Paradise...
Lutheranguest, that 42 second video clip... was Heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two more from Ratzigirl -





And two visual aids from paparatzifan to highlight the STUNC EFFECT!


And, LUTHERANGUEST, GRA(T)ZIE FOR THE VIDEOCLIP. I PARTICULARLY LOVE ANYTHING THAT SHOWS RATZI WALKING - NO ONE WALKS MORE ELEGANTLY!

BBRRRRR!!!


If Papa is wearing all those layers indoors, the Apostolic Palace must be freezing. Is it heated? When they renovated the papal apartments, I hope they installed a decent furnace. Poor Papa. Let's chip in and send him some long underwear with all our names embroidered on it.
