Pope Benedict comforted victims of last month's Italian earthquake that killed 25 people and devastated many homes, factories and churches, telling them yesterday to turn to their faith as they seek to rebuild their lives.
Benedict made a two-hour visit to the Emilia region hit on May 20 by a 6.0 magnitude quake, Italy's deadliest since 2009. The area was later hit by many aftershocks.
In an address to the people of Rovereto di Modi, one of the most heavily affected towns, Benedict told them to rebuild on their faith.
