The Pope's prayer to Our Lady of Fatima, "and I commend all I consecrate to thee. " Benedict XVI thanked all who pray for him
"Aqui estou como um filho ...
I am like a child who comes to visit his mother - said in his prayer - and does so in the company of a multitude of brothers and sisters "to" submit to your Immaculate Heart the joys and hopes ... the problems and sufferings "of your children," all I entrust and consecrate to thee. "
Benedict XVI remembers John Paul II when he came to Fatima to thank "the invisible hand" that freed him from death in the attack of May 13, 1981, offering Madonna a bullet that had seriously injured and was placed in the crown of the statue of Mary.
"It is deeply consolador ...
is of profound consolation - Said the pontiff - to know that you are not only crowned with silver and gold of our joys and hopes, but also with the 'bullet' of our concerns and suffering. " Benedict XVI thanked for "the prayers and sacrifices that the Shepherds of Fatima made for the Pope" conducted by the feelings inspired by Mary and thanked "all those who every day pray for the Successor of Peter and his intentions for the Pope be strong in faith, hope and daring zealous love.
