Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster has said the silence of 80,000 people praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament at Hyde Park was “something beyond words”.
The Archbishop said in a video reflection: "I can never forget that sense of 80-90,000 people in total silence in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in Hyde Park. It was something beyond words - the fruit of a lot of prayer and a moment of profound grace. It shows the beauty of holiness."
He also said that “heart did speak to heart” during the four days of Pope Benedict XVI’s first visit to Britain.
