March 8, 2010. Benedict XVI remembered the victims of the violent storm Xynthia that hit western France leaving 52 people dead.



 
Benedict XVI
“The victims affected by the recent storm that hit France are in my thoughts.”


Meanwhile, during the Angelus prayer, he also reflected on how God is inviting people to change their lives and think in accordance with the Gospel.

Benedict XVI
"God shows mercy when confronted by sin, he continues to call sinners to avoid evil, to grow in their love and help others in their needs."

A very religious address in which the pope also reminded others to renounce selfishness and superficiality of sin throughout this Lenten season.
