In this image taken from video as Pope Benedict XVI delivers his final greetings to the assembly of cardinals at the Vatican, Feb. 28, 2013, before he retires in just a few hours. Benedict urged the cardinals to work in unity and promised his "unconditional reverence and obedience" to his successor in his final words to his cardinals in a poignant and powerful farewell before he becomes the first pope in 600 years to resign.
