‘There is a love in this world that is stronger than death, stronger than our weaknesses and sins, stronger than our desire to win the lotto,’ said Pope Benedict today. He was celebrating mass at Lourdes this morning.
The 81 year old representative of Jesus was dressed smartly in white and gold filigree.
Humans should refuse to believe ‘those who claim that we are trapped in the fatal power of our destiny,’ he told a large crowd of sick and disabled pilgrims. 'Christ suffered on the cross, so you don't have to,' said the pontiff. 'For this we are thankful.'
Yesterday the pope drank some of the water in the grotto. ‘It’s no San Pellegrino,’ he joked, as aides wiped his mouth. 'But it sure tastes holy.'
