We do not forget the wonderful visit from Pope Benedict last year. We need to let the themes of the visit continue to challenge and lead us. There is a new national programme drawing on the legacy of the visit called "Some definite purpose". Do we all remember where that title comes from? There are six themes for prayer, reflection and action: ‘To know our purpose’, ‘To grow in confidence’, ‘To witness to our faith’, ‘To serve others’, ‘To seek and engage in dialogue’ and ‘To point to the transcendent’.
More about this initiative can be found here and here.
