March 25 - Pope Blesses Image of Our Lady for Chile

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

Benedict XVI is offering Chileans an image of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, as a sign of his affection after the Feb. 27 earthquake and in congratulations for the nation's bicentennial, celebrated this year.

The Pope blessed the image today at the end of the general audience. It will be taken around Chile, beginning with the areas most affected by the earthquake.

The Missionary Virgin "will accompany you in these moments of difficulty after the recent earthquake you suffered," he said.

Together with the image of the Missionary Virgin, the Pope also blessed official copies of Chile's Gospel, which will accompany Mary on her pilgrimage through the country. More than 9,000 Chileans took part in creating this handwritten copy of the New Testament.

Next month, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope's secretary of state, will travel to Chile to officially present the image of the Virgin to the Church and people of Chile in a concelebrated Mass with the bishops of the country.
