BENEDICT XVI

“I greet all the English-speaking pilgrims present at today’s Audience, especially those from England, Macau, Japan and the United States.  

Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Order of Preachers.  In his life, Saint Dominic was able to combine constant prayer and zealous activity in the service of the Lord and his Church.  By his example and intercession, may all of us rediscover the importance and beauty of daily prayer, and bear joyful witness to our faith in Christ the Saviour!”.
