CARDINAL RUINI TO SAY MASS FOR POPE IN ST. JOHN LATERAN


VATICAN CITY, APR 1, 2005 (VIS) - Cardinal Camillo Ruini, vicar general of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome and president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, said in a communique today that, "Due to the worsening condition of the Holy Father, I invite all Romans and all Italians to intensify their prayers for him. We wish to be near him in this hour with that same loving closeness with which John Paul II has accompanied for us these nearly 27 years.

  "This evening at 7, we will celebrate Mass for the Pope in St. John Lateran Basilica. I ask all parish communities, all religious in Rome to pray for the Holy Father, in churches and in individual families."
