   POPE CALLS ON YOUNG PEOPLE TO DRIVE CAREFULLY   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 19 JAN 2011 (VIS) - At the end of today's general audience the   
   Holy Father greeted members of the Italian association "Figli in paradiso: ali   
   tra cielo e terra" (Children in paradise: wings between heaven and earth) which   
   brings together members of families in which children have died. "Do not let   
   yourselves be overcome with desolation and despair", the Pope said. "Rather,   
   transform your suffering into hope, as Mary did at the foot of the cross".   
      
   He also encouraged young people "to calculate risks and to act at all times   
   with prudence and a sense of responsibility, especially when driving a motor   
   vehicle, in order to protect your own lives and those of others". Addressing   
   the priests who spiritually accompany the bereaved families, Benedict XVI   
   encouraged them to continue their generous service, giving assurances of his   
   prayers "for all young people who have lost their lives".
