Benedict, 85, said he decided to retire after realizing he didn’t have the "strength of mind or body" to carry on. Benedict meets tomorrow with cardinals for a final time before traveling to his retirement residence at Castel Gandolfo south of Rome. -- Lloyd Young ( 25 photos total) <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/popelastday/bp1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Pope Benedict XVI waves as he passes thousands of pilgrims and well wishers in St. Peter's Square after holding his final weekly general audience of his tenure today. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/popelastday/bp3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Pilgrims hold a banner as they attend Pope Benedict XVI's final general audience in St Peter's Square. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/popelastday/bp4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> St. Peter's Square, Vatican City packed with tens of thousands of pilgrims and well wishers as they attend Pope Benedict's final weekly general audience of his tenure at St. Peter's Square. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/popelastday/bp5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A Swiss guard stands in front of the Vatican as Pope Benedict XVI delivers his final general audience in St Peter's Square before his retirement. <img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/popelastday/bp6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Pope Benedict XVI arrives on St. Peter's square for his last weekly audience today at the Vatican on the eve of his historic resignation as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. </blockquote>
