Dear brothers and sisters of the Catholic community, in recalling these
words of the Pope, we wish to do more than evoke feelings of nostalgia, or
recall with pride one of the greatest days in the history of the Church in
Scotland.
Rather we wish to draw inspiration and encouragement from the experience
which we lived through and recognise again the insight and wisdom in the
words spoken to us by Christ’s Vicar on earth.


With every good wish and blessing
