GREETING OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI
AT THE ARRIVAL IN CASTEL GANDOLFO

Papal Summer Residence, Castel Gandolfo
Friday, 28 July 2006

Dear friends, I simply want to greet you with all my heart.

I am delighted to be here in your beautiful town, in this building with its very beautifully renewed façade.

I will be staying with you for several weeks and let us hope we will live them in peace and with the Lord's Blessing, as a pledge of which I now impart my Blessing to you: "May Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, bless you all".

I wish you all a good dinner! If God wills we will meet again on Sunday.
