Benedict XVI Urges Imitation of Mary
VATICAN CITY, MAY 10, 2006 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI encouraged the faithful to give solace to the lonely and anxious, following the example of the Virgin Mary.
At the end of today's general audience, the Pope invited young people to imitate Mary, "trusting always in her maternal intercession so that she will help you to take a ray of serenity where there is preoccupation and loneliness."
The Holy Father then addressed the sick, exhorting them "to live your condition confidently abandoned in the Lord's hands, supported by her who on Calvary remained faithful under the cross of Christ."
Addressing newlyweds, the Bishop of Rome wished that "the Holy Virgin accompany" them in their "family life so that you will be able to experience the joy that comes from reciprocal fidelity and always be witnesses of divine love."
