Benedict XVI: With Mary we are all pilgrims


“A touching experience, rich with many spiritual gifts” was how the Pope described his pilgrimage to Portugal, during the General Audience Catechesis on May 19th.

In Fatima, the Blessed Virgin invites everyone to regard earth as the place of our pilgrimage to our final homeland, which is heaven. In fact, we are all pilgrims and we all need our Mother who guides us.
“With you we walk in hope, wisdom and mission was the motto of my apostolic trip to Portugal,” the Pope said, “and in Fatima the Blessed Virgin Mary invites us to walk with great hope, letting ourselves be guided by ‘the wisdom from above,’ which was revealed in Jesus -- the wisdom of love -- so as to bring Christ’s light and joy to the world. Let us also pray that, through the intercession of Mary Most Holy, the Holy Spirit may render this apostolic trip fruitful, and enliven in the whole world the Church’s mission, founded by Christ to announce to all peoples the Gospel of truth, peace and love.”
