ANGELUS: TRUST IN THE
BEAUTY OF GOD'S PLAN
VATICAN CITY, 25 SEP 2011 (VIS) -
Following this morning's Mass at the airport of Freiburg im Breisgau, the
Holy Father prayed the Angelus, a prayer, he said, which "constantly
reminds us of the historical beginnings of our salvation".
Mary's "yes", the
Pope explained, "is the trusting 'yes' to God's plan, to our
salvation". Mary "addresses her 'yes' to us all, whom she received
as her children entrusted to her at the foot of the Cross. She never
withdraws this promise".
"As we pray the
Angelus, we may join Mary in her 'yes', we may adhere trustingly to the
beauty of God's plan and to the providence that He has assigned to us in His
grace. Then God's love will also, as it were, take flesh in our lives,
becoming ever more tangible. In all our cares we need have no fear. God is
good. At the same time we know that we are sustained by the fellowship of the
many believers who are now praying the Angelus with us throughout the world,
via radio and television".
Following the Marian
prayer, the Holy Father went back to the seminary of Freiburg im Breisgau
where he had lunch with members of the German Episcopal Conference.
