Holy Father visits Abbey of Monte Cassino

This video comes from Pope Benedict's visit to Monte Casino Monastery last Sunday. For the first time as pope, Benedict XVI prayed at the place where Saint Benedict is buried in/ at Abbey of Monte Cassino in central Italy. He spoke after at Vespers conducted in the Abbey itself.

Benedict said he had chosen to call himself Pope Benedict XVI to pay homage to St. Benedict, who he said was a "fundamental point of reference for European unity and a strong reminder of the undeniable Christian roots of her culture and civilization."

At Monte Cassino Pope Benedict challenged the world to seek peace and that Europe continue to seek the values put forth by Saint Benedict. Read more about the visit here.
