Voice of America: Storm Cuts Short Pope’s Speech in Madrid

A huge thunderstorm in Madrid Saturday night forced Pope Benedict to cut short his speech to an estimated one million young pilgrims gathered for the church's world youth festival.

The freak storm gave the outdoor prayer vigil at a Madrid airfield a dramatic climax. Firefighters checked the stage before allowing the leader of the world's 1.6 billion Catholics to return. He thanked the gatherers for their “joy and endurance,” adding that their strength was “greater than the rain.”
