“God bless the people of Scotland”
speaking to the heart
Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Edinburgh on Thursday 16 September stepping
gingerly from the plane.
He departed from Birmingham, four days later, with a spring in his step.
Amid a momentous whirlwind of engagements from royal palace to school playing

won the hearts of millions.

With great joy and heartfelt love we welcome Pope Benedict XVI to Scotland, It
is an immense privilege for the Archdiocese of Glasgow to host him at

And John Paul sat on his carved wooden throne - the picture of happiness...
