What happened in the conclave

Estratto del discorso di Benedetto XVI del 25 aprile, e nella versione italiana inglese nell'originale apparsa su "L'Osservatore Romano" del 27 aprile

as slowly the course of voting made me realize that, so to speak, the guillotine would fall on me was I felt dizzy. I had thought to have done my life's work and now hope for a peaceful end of my days to be allowed to. I said to the Lord with deep conviction: Do me not to!

I had shown how Karol Wojtyla received the call from the Lord again and again and again and again to give up a lot and had to just say: Yes, I follow you, even if you lead me where I would not. The fellow brother wrote me: If the Lord should now tell you, "Follow me" remember, then Up what you have preached. Not refuse you! Be obedient, as you have said it from the great departed Pope.
