As dawn broke, pilgrims rustled in their sleeping bags and clenched their
blankets tighter. Volunteers buzzed across the Marienfeld, clutching gray
garbage bags and directing new arrivals who came to take part in the concluding
mass by the pope. The skies above were gray with clouds threatening rain.
Benedict energized the crowd Saturday night in a vigil service where he
highlighted the need for Christians to embrace their religion.
"It is not ideologies that save the world, but only a
return to the living God, our creator, the guarantor of our freedom, the
guarantor of what is really good and true," the pontiff told the pilgrims.
