		<title>Fatherly Advice from Pope Benedict XVI</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;She [Mary] stands there as the woman in whom what is humanly impossible has become possible, through God&#8217;s saving mercy. And thus she becomes a symbol for us all.

		<title>&#8216;Fatherly&#8217; Advice: Adore Jesus!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself.&#8221;
