POPE, FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY, THANKS GOD FOR POLAND'S FREEDOM


VATICAN CITY, NOV 10, 2004 (VIS) - In multi-language greetings to pilgrims after today's general audience, which took place in both St. Peter's Basilica and the Paul VI Hall, the Holy Father welcomed pilgrims from Slovakia, including "the deacons from St. Charles Borromeo Major Seminary of Kosice which is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its re-birth."

  He had special words for his fellow Poles, noting that "tomorrow we will celebrate Poland's Independence Day. Let us thank the Lord for our country's freedom. May this particular gift, paid for by the blood of our fathers and our mothers, be fruitful in the country with the diligent fulfilling of duties by each and every person, with mutual understanding and with dedication to the common good. May the Lord in His providence bless our  country."
