Pope reflects on temptation in penultimate Angelus address

Sunday, February 17, 2013

Joined by an estimated 80,000 pilgrims, Pope Benedict XVI prayed the Angelus today from his window overlooking St. Peter's Square. In his address (translated into English in the video above), the Holy Father reflects on the temptation of Jesus in the desert. This is the second last Angelus address that the Pope will give before his retirement on February 28. The final Angelus, on Sunday, February 24, will be broadcast in English on S+L TV at noon ET / 9:00 am PT, repeating at 6:00 pm ET/3:00 pm PT. In the mean time, to look back on the legacy of the German pontiff, visit our special Benedict XVI website.
