    It was a historic visit

    The dedication of the church of the Sagrada Família was a historic event. Because of the presence of the Holy Father Benedict XVI, who presided over the celebration, and because of the unique, majestic work, so beautiful and full of biblical, theological, liturgical and catechetical symbolism that is the Basilica, designed and initiated by the brilliant architect and servant of God Antoni Gaudí.

For John Paul II this is the mission the Church entrusts Catholic Action laity with. He stressed the point repeatedly saying "The Church entrusts you with [this mission]."

    Here is the full text of the speech the Pope gave ahead of the Marian prayer for the Angelus:

    "Dearest!
