Review Full Details
It is worth noting Pope Benedict XVI's comments
regarding his experience of Roman Catholic worship during his recent visit to
Cameroon and Angola. The Holy Father was impressed by the sense of the sacred in
Africa. -Bishop Joseph N. Perry.
During his return to Rome, following his
apostolic visit to Cameroon and Angola, Benedict XVI again made remarks
to journalists accompanying him on the flight. The Holy Father said that
during the course of his visit he had been particularly impressed by
"this almost exuberant cordiality, this delight, of a rejoicing Africa.
I felt they saw in the Pope … the personification of the fact that we
are the children and the family of God. This family exists and we, with
all our limitations, are part of it, and God is with us…
I was also moved by the spirit of meditative
absorption in liturgy, the powerful sense of the sacred; in the
liturgies there was no self-presentation of groups, no self-animation,
but the presence of the sacred, of God Himself; even the movements were
always movements of respect and awareness of the divine presence."
