AMERICA/BOLIVIA - In Bolivia people and Bishops rejoice for election of Benedict XVI and pray the Holy Spirit will guide him in his apostolic service

La Paz (Fides Service) - In a brief message signed by Bishop Jesús Juárez Párraga, Secretary general of the Bolivian Bishops Conference, the Bishops express great joy for the election of Pope Benedict XVI as Successor of Peter with the mission to animate, guide and lovingly care for the Church like the Good Shepherd who gives his life for his flock (cfr. Jn 10,10). They also encourage Catholics to take part in the masses being organised in every parish and diocese to pray to the Holy Spirit to guide His Holiness in his apostolic service in these difficult times.(RZ) (Agenzia Fides, 21/04/2005 - 7 righe, 104 parole)
