VATICAN CITY, MAY 5, 2006 (VIS) - This morning, Benedict XVI received members of the US-based Papal Foundation, whom he thanked for "the help you give me in carrying out my mission to care for Christ's flock in every corner of the world."
"The fruit of that gift of the Spirit," said the Pope in English, "can be clearly seen in the assistance that the Papal Foundation gives in Christ's name to developing countries, in the form of aid projects, grants and scholarships."
"I assure you," he concluded, "that your love of the Church and your dedication to the practice of Christian charity is deeply appreciated. As we prepare to celebrate the great outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, I encourage you to continue in your generous commitment, so that the flame of divine love may continue burning brightly in the hearts of believers everywhere."
