benoitxvi_2.jpg"From Heaven, especially at difficult times of trial, the Virgin continues to always look after her children, that Jesus himself had entrusted to her before he died on the cross. How many stories of her maternal solicitude does not find us by visiting shrines dedicated to her! I think especially at this time of the unique world citadel of life and hope that is Lourdes, where, God willing, I will go in a months time, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Marian apparitions that took place there. "
