(April 15-21, 2008)
We are deeply grateful to the cardinals for selecting as our universal shepherd Pope Benedict XVI, who is well known not only to Catholics but to the whole world as a man of deep faith matched by a profound intellect.
His knowledge of the spiritual confusion and malaise of the world today, and his long experience as a priest, teacher, and, for more than twenty years, close adviser to his predecessor and friend, Pope John Paul II, uniquely equips Pope Benedict to meet the serious challenges to the Catholic Church and the Christian faith in our time with wisdom, insight, courage, strength and grace.
We join millions of Catholics in praying for our new Holy Father, that the Holy Spirit will guide and comfort him as he assumes the often profoundly difficult tasks that lie before him.
And may St. Benedict and all the saints, and especially Mary, Mother of our Lord, assist him with their prayers.
