We don’t see much of the Pope Emeritus these days.  But this photo appeared on Facebook Sunday with the (roughly translated) caption:

The hope of a good Sunday, along with another recent photo of the pope emeritus, that in the last few days has met a deacon of the Pontifical College Scotsman of Rome.
