POPE THANKS ITALIAN AIR FORCE FOR ITS SERVICE


VATICAN CITY, SEP 10, 2005 (VIS) - Today Benedict XVI received, for the first time, members of the 31st squadron of the Italian Air Force, thanking them for their service. The 31st squadron is responsible for air transportation of the Pope within Italy.

  "In carrying out your work," the Pope said, "you place at the service of the Church your capabilities and the competence and experience you have acquired, thus cooperating in your own way in the ministry of Peter's Successor."

  The Holy Father assured the airmen and their relatives that his meeting with them stimulated him "to recall to the Lord each of your families, that He may illuminate with His grace moments of ease and difficulty, enriching them all with supernatural value."
