Bush welcomes pope in Washington

Time :

2 : 2

Hi, I'm Rebecca Field in for Kristin Volk on this Wednesday, the 16 day of April 2008. Pope Benedict the 16 is in Washington, D.C. on a mission to energize the U.S. Catholic community. Benedict arrived yesterday, and it's first visit to the U.S. Earlier today, more than 9 thousand people greeted the Pope at a White House ceremony. This evening, Bush will host a birthday party in Benedict's honor. He's 81 today. On his trip over to the U.S., the Pope chose to bluntly address the sex scandal within the Catholic Church, saying he's deeply ashamed by the action of the pedophile priests. The Pope is also likely to address the U.S.-led war in Iraq and the upcoming presidential election. Today marks the one-year anniversary of the shootings at Virginia Tech University. Last year, 32 students and teachers were gunned down on campus by fellow student, Seung-Hui Cho. Classes have been canceled today for fear of a copycat strike. The university is holding a number of events to remember those who lost their lives, including a ceremony this morning and a candlelight vigil tonight. A new poll out shows Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain is even with Democratic rival Barack Obama and narrowly leads Hillary Clinton. The two Democrats have gained ground on the Arizona Senator nationally in the last month. Obama has gained six points recently to tie with McCain at 45 percent. Clinton trails her Republican counterpart by 5 points. Clinton and Obama will go head-to-head next Tuesday in Pennsylvania for the Democratic primary contest. Three people are dead from wildfires that have ripped through Colorado. The fires have scorched thousands of acres and forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. By last night, firefighters had contained 50 percent of the blaze. The fires apparently broke out after a wetter than normal winter followed by a dry March. That's all for now. Check out a new segment on pi.com called "Too Elderly to Vote?" Thanks for watching.

Dedication to Mary - "Bella Maria"

Time :

4 : 38

Dedication to the Blessed Mother Mary. http://InDefenseofTheCross.Com All things Mary does is to bring us all closer to her son - Jesus Christ. "Thus, we see that Mary was, so to speak, "at home" with God's word, she lived on God's word, she was penetrated by God's word. To the extent that she spoke with God's words, she thought with God's words, her thoughts were God's thoughts, her words, God's words. She was penetrated by divine light and this is why she was so resplendent, so good, so radiant with love and goodness. Mary lived on the Word of God, she was imbued with the Word of God. And the fact that she was immersed in the Word of God and was totally familiar with the Word also endowed her later with the inner enlightenment of wisdom. Whoever thinks with God thinks well, and whoever speaks to God speaks well. They have valid criteria to judge all the things of the world. They become prudent, wise, and at the same time good; they also become strong and courageous with the strength of God, who resists evil and fosters good in the world. Thus, Mary speaks with us, speaks to us, invites us to know the Word of God, to love the Word of God, to live with the Word of God, to think with the Word of God. And we can do so in many different ways: by reading Sacred Scripture, by participating especially in the Liturgy, in which Holy Church throughout the year opens the entire book of Sacred Scripture to us. She opens it to our lives and makes it present in our lives.

Pavarotti's funeral-Modena Italy

Time :

6 : 58

Luciano Pavarotti(1935-2007) MODENA, Italy (AP) — Luciano Pavarotti received a final, tearful standing ovation after a recording of the great Italian tenor singing a duet of "Panis Angelicus" with his father was played during a somber funeral service Saturday in his hometown cathedral. Many of the mourners cried as the tenor's unmistakable voice filled the cathedral, a poignant reminder of the talent lost with his death Thursday at age 71 after a yearlong battle with cancer. Pavarotti and his father had sung the duet in 1978 in the same cathedral — an event Archbishop Benito Cocchi said was described by someone who attended it as "a weaving of two tenors." In a series of eulogies, Pavarotti was remembered as one of the world's greatest singers, a symbol of Italy, a humanitarian and — in a message from his 4-year-old daughter Alice — a father. "Papa, you have loved me so much, I know you will always protect me," his daughter said in a message read during the service, while her mother, Nicoletta Mantovani, sobbed in the front row. Among the 700 guests were Italian Premier Romano Prodi, U2 lead singer Bono, U2 guitarist The Edge, movie director Franco Zeffirelli and former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Also sitting in the front row were Pavarotti's first wife, Adua, his three grown daughters and his sister. The 90-minute service was filled with music, from Bulgarian-born soprano Raina Kabaivanska, who cried as she sang the opening hymn, Verdi's "Ave Maria," to tenor Andrea Bocelli's "Ave Verum" during the communion. Flutist Andrea Griminelli played a solo. Thousands of admirers filled the piazza outside the cathedral watching the service on a big screen. The crowd erupted in applause when the white, maple casket covered with flowers — including Pavarotti's favorite, sunflowers — was carried outside by 11 pallbearers. At the same instant, the Italian air force's precision flying team roared overhead, trailing vapors of green, red and white — the colors of the Italian flag. Modena's streets were filled with admirers who applauded as a black hearse bearing Pavarotti's body went by. The tenor was buried at Montale Rangone cemetery, where members of his family, including his parents and stillborn son Riccardo, are also interred. In his homily, Cocchi said the presence of so many dignitaries was a sign "of the esteem, the affection and the gratitude that universally surrounds the great artist." But he said it was also significant how Modena residents paid tribute to their native son, breaking their silent vigil outside the cathedral when Pavarotti's body arrived Thursday night with applause "not joyous, as in other occasions, but intense and sincere." "The death of Luciano Pavarotti has made us feel more impoverished," the archbishop said. "The maestro was and will always be a symbol for our city." Pope Benedict XVI sent a telegram, saying Pavarotti had "honored the divine gift of music through his extraordinary interpretative talent." Prodi praised Pavarotti for his humanitarian work and peace efforts and also expressed the gratitude of all Italians for the image of the nation he carried to all corners of the globe. "Italy is sad today but it is also proud of him," Prodi said during the service. "Here, in the cathedral of his hometown, Italy expresses its gratitude to him." Pavarotti was beloved by generations of opera-goers and pop fans alike for his breathtaking high Cs, hearty renditions of popular folk songs like "O Sole Mio" and collaborations with singers like Bono, with whom he recorded "Miss Sarajevo" in 1995 to raise money to help rebuild Bosnia. Pavarotti was the world's best-selling classical artist, with more than 100 million records sold since the 1960s, and he had the first classical album to reach No. 1 on the pop charts. During a public viewing period that began Thursday night and continued until hours before the funeral, more than 100,000 people had filed past Pavarotti's casket and filled condolence books placed by vases of sunflowers outside the cathedral. Similar books are being made available at Italian embassies and consulates around the world, the Foreign Ministry said. "You can feel the legend. You feel it from the air that circulates inside the cathedral," said Susy Cavallini, a 43-year-old Modena resident. "He was an exceptional man, for his humanity, for his culture and for his friendships." That Pavarotti — a divorced man who had a child out of wedlock — was given public viewing and a funeral in the cathedral spurred some debate. A Modena parish priest, the Rev. Giorgio Bellei, told the Corriere della Sera daily newspaper that the move amounted to "profanation of the temple."
