A group of young people from Madrid have posted a two-minute video online with international messages thanking Pope Benedict XVI for his service to the Church.
"We young people are with you," the video emphasizes to the Pontiff, who will be retiring from his role as Pope at the end of February due to waning strength.
Entitled, "For the 85 year-old young man," the video has already gone viral, receiving more than 50,000 views on YouTube in just five days.
In the video, young people from around the world thank Pope Benedict for his "teachings of reason, faith and humility," as well as for showing them the "tenderness of Christ" and offering a sincere witness of hope, generosity and courage.
