Pope thanks consecrated virgins for their 'total gift' to Christ

POPE Benedict thanked consecrated women virgins gathering at the Vatican today for their "total gift" to Christ, praising a holy rite that he recognised was difficult for some non-Catholics to understand.

"(Live your lives) in such a way that you always irradiate the dignity of being the wife of Christ," the pope said in an address to hundreds of consecrated virgins from dozens of countries meeting in Rome....
These are extraordinary women. When you pray for our priests and religious, please remember them as well.
