'' 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.
.
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 for 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 which you have supported me in my ministry and i ask pardon for all my defects ''.
