   POPE RECALLS ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE OF 1980   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 17 NOV 2010 (VIS) - During his greetings to faithful at the end   
   of his general audience today, the Pope addressed a group of Italian pilgrims   
   from the region of Basilicata, who have come to Rome in the company of their   
   local bishops priests and civil authorities to commemorate the thirtieth   
   anniversary of the earthquake that devastated southern Italy in 1980.   
      
   "During that dramatic event", said the Holy Father, "the wounds of which are   
   still deep and open in the minds and hearts of those dear peoples, much   
   generous aid came from many parts of Italy. At the local level, everyone   
   undertook to implement the necessary measures. In particular, I would like to   
   highlight the efforts made by the Church, which was able to offer, as well as   
   material aid, the light of hope of the risen Christ, at a time of distress and   
   darkness. My hope is that today's meeting, as well as the memory of the   
   paternal visit made at that time by Servant of God John Paul II, may revive in   
   Christian people the gift of faith, and the joy of sharing it in the great   
   family of the Church".
