Pope Benedict XVI blesses a child...



..when meeting with disabled youth yesterday at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY. Pope Benedict XVI told the children:

"God has blessed you with life, and with differing talents and gifts ... our faith helps us to break open the horizon beyond our own selves in order to see life as God does."
