Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass Feb. 19 with the 22 cardinals he elevated just a day before. Among those at the Mass marking the Solemnity of the Chair of St. Peter was Cardinal Edwin F. O’Brien, the apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Baltimore had a special moment with the pontiff.

During his homily, Pope Benedict said: “We now entrust your ecclesial service to the Virgin Mary, who was present among the apostolic community as they gathered in prayer, waiting for the Holy Spirit. May she, mother of the incarnate word, protect the church’s path, support the work of the pastors by her intercession and take under her mantle the entire College of Cardinals. Amen!”
