Bishop Glen John Provost of the Diocese of Lake Charles has returned from his visit to Washington D.C. where he participated in various events that were part of the Pope's visit to the United States.

Provost says the Holy Father brought a message of hope and healing, meeting and praying with various groups including survivors of those who perished at ground zero in New York on 9-11. Provost also spoke of Pope Benedict's time spent with those who were victims of sexual abuse by priests. " He showed himself very courageous and I think he led the way for a lot of healing in the lives of these people who have suffered so much and I think that's very important and for the Pope to do this and mention it as frequently as he did shows that this is what our concern is, is for the victims and we have to be very conscious of our care and concern for them and for the future, for it to not happen again."
