Collection of Pope Benedict photos

Thanks to the Curt Jester for the link to this collection on flickr of Best photos of Pope Benedict. I noticed one or two that found their way into the Summorum Pontificum celebration video. This is my favourite from the thumbnails in the collection:

(The text reads: Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ rules, may Christ defend his people from every evil.)

Father,

Would you kindly translate the words in the phots for my Latin is very, very limited..

Thank you!

Isn't 'defendat' in the subjunctive, Father? 'May Christ defend his people from every evil?' Or do my verbs deceive me?

Great picture though!

Yes, of course - thank you for the correction. Please don't tell Fr Foster I wrote that!

My favourite photo of Pope Benedict is not in the Flickr collection, but is to be seen in the Summorum Pontificum celebration video at 0:54

It shows the Pope wearing the traditional winter mozzetta, pointing at the camera and grinning (mischievously ?) It's a lovely picture.

Many thanks to Father for a repeat showing of my favourite video. It still makes me shake with laughter.

And we could do with a laugh or two just now.
