VATICAN CITY, 15 MAR 2009 (VIS) - Having prayed the Angelus today, the Pope reminded the thousands of people filling St. Peter's Square that the Pauline Jubilee for university students and teachers came to an end today with a Eucharistic celebration in the Roman basilica of St. Paul's Outside-the-Walls.
The Holy Father recalled that this Jubilee event was promoted by the Congregation for Catholic Education and the Pontifical Council for Culture, and organised by the Vicariate of Rome on the theme: "What you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. Gospel and culture for a new humanism".
Addressing professors and delegates for pastoral care in universities, who have come from all continents to participate in the International University Forum, held in Rome from 12 to 15 March, Benedict XVI said "this event is an important stage in the living dialogue between the Church and universities".
The Pope expressed the hope that "pastoral care in universities may be developed in all particular Churches, for the formation of young people and the creation of a Gospel-inspired culture".
"Dear university students and teachers", he concluded, "I encourage you and accompany you in my prayers".
