   PRAYERS FOR CHILEAN MINERS AND KOLONTAR VICTIMS   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 13 OCT 2010 (VIS) - In his greetings to pilgrims at the end of   
   today's general audience the Holy Father, speaking Spanish, entrusted the   
   miners of the Atacama region of Chile "to the divine goodness" of Blessed   
   Angela of Foligno. Turning then to address Hungarian pilgrims in their native   
   language, he gave assurances of recollection in his prayers "of the inhabitants   
   of Kolontar who have had to abandon their homes, and of everyone who has been   
   affected by the toxic mud, especially those who have lost their lives".   
      
   "The anniversary of the election of John Paul II is drawing close", he said in   
   remarks to Polish pilgrims. "Together with you I thank God for the witness of   
   faith, hope and love given to us by my great predecessor on the Throne of   
   Peter. I pray that the fruits of his life, ministry and teaching may remain in   
   the Church and in people's hearts".
