Pope Names Soup Kitchen for John Paul II
Last Updated:01-04-07 at 9:38AM
ROME -- Pope Benedict XVI visited a soup kitchen Thursday to bless it and dedicate it to his predecessor, 14 years after Pope John Paul II went there to meet with the poor.
Benedict then addressed a few hundred people gathered in a nearby courtyard on a chilly day, saying love and charity bring great joy.
The pontiff also blessed a plaque dedicating the soup kitchen near the Colosseum to John Paul, who visited in 1992 and shared tea with several people, including a Somali man who had been attacked and set ablaze by skinhead youths. The plaque carried a quote from the speech John Paul gave during his visit: "The suffering man belongs to us all."
