During a March 25 evening prayer service at the cathedral in León, Mexico, Pope Benedict XVI called on Latin American and Carribean bishops to plant the “seed of hope” through the Church's work in the regions.
“Certainly your dioceses face a number of challenges and difficulties at the present moment,” the Pope acknowledged.
“Yet, in the sure knowledge that the Lord is risen, we are able to move forward confidently, in the conviction that evil does not have the last word in human history, and that God is able to open up new horizons to a hope that does not disappoint.”
“You are not alone amid your trials or in your successes in the work of evangelization,” the Pope told the Latin American and Carribean bishops, promising them that “all of us are one in sufferings and in consolation.”
