Evangelist Benny Hinn Remarrires Ex-Wife, Suzanne

Evangelist Benny Hinn, 60, and his ex-wife Suzanne were remarried on Sunday, March 3 after being divorced since 2011. 

All three officiate of the wedding ceremony, Suzanne's father Roy Harthern, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke and Jay Hayford repeatedly referred to the significance of the Hinns' remarriage. They called it miraculous.

...but why would the well-known church leaders call the remarriage a miracle?

Bonnke said the miracle of this remarriage was even greater than the miracle of any marriage. He said he believes those marriages will be restored as a result.

Evangelist Hinn said nothing until the end of the ceremony when he prayed over Suzanne as the visiting Christian leaders crowded around.

It was a traditional ceremony, mixed with plenty of praise and worship, that lasted two hours. The children and their spouses were their parents' attendants. The Hinns have four children and four grandchildren.

Pope Benedict XVI resigns - February 28, 2013.

A Vatican spokesman today announced the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013, who became pope following the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005.

According to the Vatican he was resigning due to his age and declining strength. “After having repeated examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the petrine ministry.

See the Pope’s full resignation statement…….

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church.

After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.
I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.

However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff.

With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
