CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (CNN) -

"Dear friends, I am happy to enjoy your sympathy. I give thanks for your friendship and for your affection. You do know that this is a different day for me than earlier days. I am no longer the pope, but I'm still in the church. I'm just a pilgrim who is starting the last part of his pilgrimage on this earth. And with all my heart and prayer and love and with my thoughts and strengths, I would like to work for the common good and the good of the church and mankind, and I feel very much supported by your sympathy. We'll go together ahead with the lord for the good of the church and the world. Thank you all very much. So accept my blessing. May God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Thank you all and good night. Thank you all," Pope Benedict XVI said.
