Sadly the Holy Father’s four day visit to Britain has come to an end after an exhausting schedule that encompassed three open air masses, eight speeches, and the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman.
As Pope Benedict prepared to board his plane for his return flight to Rome, the Prime Minister, David Cameron thanked him for what he described as an "incredibly moving four days" He said that it had been an honour to have the pope in Britain.
"You have really challenged the whole country to sit up and think, and that can only be a good thing, …. Your Holiness, your presence here has been a great honour for our country. ..”
May we all continue to thank God for this great blessing for our country, and pray that we may all respond fully to the many great graces which have been granted to us during these wonderful, and blessed, four days.
