Sad News From Rome
The mother of Pope Benedict's Private Secretary Georg Ganswein has died......She passed away on Wednesday, 21st October at her home in Freiburg, Germany aged 78.....her death was unexpected.
According to Rome reports she appeared to be in 'vibrant health' just 2 months ago at the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of her son's ordination as a priest, and the Vatican's announcement did not explain the cause of her sudden death.
Friend Alessandra Borghese described Ganswein's relationship with his mother as 'decisive and fundamental' for his priestly vocation, and that this relationship with her was still 'extremely close'.
In an interview two years ago, Georg said that his mother was 'a woman who above all knew how to give answers to the questions of her children'.
I, along with others both inside and outside the Vatican give my sincere condolences at this extremely sad loss for Msgr. Ganswein.
No one can ever replace a 'good' mother.
