DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE put yourselves under the protection of Mary, said Pope Benedict XVI recently. "Put your lives and each of your projects under the maternal protection of the One who gave to the world a Saviour. Speaking to the sick, the Holy Father continued: "As you wait to regain your health, ask Her each day for the strength to confront with patience the trials of suffering." To the newlyweds present, the Pope said: "cultivate a sincere devotion to her so that she will be at your side in your daily life."
