Rest in peace, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Former Disney Channel actor David Henrie honored Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in recent social media posts.
In two Jan. 1 Instagram stories, the openly Catholic actor published a photo of himself with the former pope. He also shared a framed Benedict XVI quote. Henrie appears to have the quote on display in his home, vowing to “take it into 2023.”
Here’s a video of the stories below:

In the first Instagram story, Henrie publishes a photo of him meeting the former pope.
The caption reads, “May his soul rest in peace. / #popebenedictxvi #Requiescetinpace”.
In the second Instagram story, Henrie quotes Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
The video’s caption reads, “A quote from Pope Benedict I’ll be taking into 2023. Let’s do good friends, let’s be great!”
He quotes, “The ways of the Lord are not comfortable, but we were not created for comfort, but for greatness–for good.
Henrie, a husband and father of three, often vocalizes his passion for the Catholic faith on social media.
In 2019, he and wife Maria announced the birth of their first child, Pia Philomena Francesca Henrie. David revealed a miraculous story behind his and Maria’s photo with Pope Francis.
In 2021, Henrie published a video of his daughter’s excitement over a portrait of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
And more recently, the actor dressed his children up as saints for Halloween.

Eternal Rest, grant unto Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
