POPE ASKS FOR PRAYERS FOR HIS FORTHCOMING TRIP TO SPAIN

VATICAN CITY, 3 NOV 2010 (VIS) - "I invite you to accompany me with your
fervent prayers this weekend as I make a pastoral visit to Santiago de
Compostela, joining the pilgrims who are coming to the feet of the Apostle in
this Holy Year", said the Pope in remarks to Spanish-speaking pilgrims at the
end of today's general audience.

"I will also go to Barcelona", he went on, "where I will
have the joy of
dedicating the magnificent church of the 'Sagrada Familia', work of the great
architect Antoni Gaudi. I am going as a witness of the Risen Christ, with the
desire of bringing His Word to everyone, that they may find light to live with
dignity and hope to build a better world".
