The Resurrection will be 'the last word’ on suffering, Pope Benedict says
Vatican City, Aug 31, 2008 / 10:53 am (CNA).- Before the recitation of the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI spoke about today’s Gospel, in which Jesus reveals to his disciples his coming passion, death and resurrection. Telling his audience that faithful obedience to God and loving service to our neighbor do not always come easily, the Holy Father reminded them that to follow Jesus they too must enter into the mystery of the cross.Following the Angelus, he also addressed the problem of irregular immigration.
