POPE GREETS FAITHFUL FROM ASSISI

VATICAN CITY, 11 JUN 2008 (VIS) - At the end of today's general audience, the Holy Father addressed a greeting to pilgrims from the Italian diocese of Assisi-Nocera Umbra-Gualdo Tadino, recalling his own visit to Assisi last year.

  "Once more I thank you", he told them, "for the warm welcome you gave me on that day, which was so rich in faith and spirituality. Also by virtue of our meeting then, may your diocesan community enjoy renewed spiritual vitality and work with all its energy on the pastoral programme, in which - 800 years after the 'conversion' of St. Francis - you are currently committed to living a year of 'communion' in preparation for the coming year of 'mission'".
