| POPE ENCOURAGES THE
STUDY OF LATIN
VATICAN CITY, FEB 22, 2006 (VIS) - At the end
of the general audience, the Pope addressed a greeting in Latin to
students at the faculty of Christian and Classical Literature of the
Pontifical Salesian University in Rome.
"My predecessors rightly encouraged the
study of [this] great language," said the Pope in Latin,
"in order to achieve a better understanding of the sound
doctrine contained in the ecclesiastical and humanistic disciplines.
In the same way, we encourage the continuation of this activity, so
that as many people as possible may perceive the importance of this
treasure and attain it."

Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
