Vatican


In the Spanish address during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Benedict said that he was praying for the rescue operation in Chile, where a 69-day ordeal of 33 miners has been coming to an end.

The trapped miners even set up a special spot where they could withdraw for prayer.

Yesterday the blog Acts of the Apostasy published an interesting quote of the great Roman Saint Philip Neri: “It is a most useful thing, when we see another doing any spiritual good to his neighbour, to seek by prayer to have a part in that same good which the Lord is working by the hand of another.”
