REMARKS OF POPE JOHN PAUL II
AT THE CONCLUSION OF A
RECITAL OF THE ROSARY

Saturday, 6 December 1997

I thank the English-speaking pilgrims who have come this evening to pray the Rosary. My special greeting goes to the community of the Pontifical North American College in Rome. In spiritual union with the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for America, we ask Mary Immaculate, patroness of the College and of your nation, to intercede for all the peoples of the American continent, that there may be a renewed enthusiasm for the spread of the Gospel, a thirst for authentic holiness, and a spirit of fraternal solidarity in building a world of justice and peace.
