” “”The Eucharistic Mystery is the privileged meeting point of the different spheres of Christian life, including that of intellectual research”. This was said this evening by the Pope, as he met the Roman university students in Saint Peter’s Basilica. As he mentioned the spiritual and pastoral path arranged by the Diocese of Rome about the Eucharist, Benedict XVI compared "Jesus-Eucharist" to a "prism through which one can better penetrate reality” in all its dimensions. According to the Pope, "the Most Holy Sacrament is the quality centre of the universe and of history. This is why it is an inexhaustible source of thought and action for anyone who is questing after the truth and is willing to cooperate with it”, fuelling in those "who feed on it constantly and with faith a fruitful combination of contemplation and action". After mentioning the traditional diocesan pilgrimage of the university students to Assisi, Benedict XVI invited the young to "learn from the school of the Virgin" and greeted the Bulgarian delegation of university students that took to Rome the icon of the Virgin “Sedes Sapientiae” and the delegation of Albania that will keep it until the Marian Vigil of 10th March 2007.” “
