Message from Pope Benedict XVI.

St Benedict is a “shining star” who can lead Europe out of the current “dark night of history”, Pope Benedict said in his talk on Wednesday 9^th April.

The pope dedicated his General Audience this week to St Benedict of Nursia, “the father of western monasticism, who with his life and work exercised a fundamental influence on the development of European civilisation and culture”.
