Pope Benedict XVl is in Malta today!

The Pope, who is here to celebrate the 1950th anniversary of St. Paul’s shipwreck off the island, pointed out that “some might consider Saint Paul’s arrival in Malta by means of a humanly unforeseen event to be a mere accident of history. The eyes of faith, however, enable us to recognize here the workings of divine Providence.” He then highlighted the central and important role Malta has gone on to play in the history of Europe and in the defense of Christianity.
