March 25 - Pope Blesses Image of Our Lady for Chile
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.
