ROMA, mfk..,,In the shadaow of th shrine, the Church for the Third Millenium is silently born.", Father Jose Luis Sancez Alvarez, Puebla, Mexico, in the schoentatt.de forum which was transformed into a book of congratulations. The wave of love for Benedict XVI which was noticeable during the inaugural Mass, the wave of love for him in his encounter with his German compatriots on Monday morning, the "wave" of news, images and transmissions which filled the communications media with the good news, with the good news of a Church that is alive, the wave of interest and emotion throughout the world: we are witnesses to what John Paul II most wanted for the year 2000, a new irruption of graces, a vibrant church with the love of Christ...

"So many things have happened, so many important events, that it seemed as if the world was spinning very rapidly," wrote Javier Cabral, from Cuidad del Este, Paraguay. The Inaugural Mass of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI was celebrated on Sunday the 24th of April, in a springlike atmosphere (although it was very windy). "Precisely during the sad days of the illness and death of the Pope, something manifested itself in a marvelous way before out eyes: that the Church was alive. And the Church is young. She carries the future of the world within herself. therefore, it also indicates the road to the future to each one of us. The Church is alive and we see it: we experience the joy that the Resurrected One has promised those who belong to him. The Church is alive; it is alive because Christ is alive, because he is truly resurrected." the Holy Father said with the applause of thousands.
