Our popular 'Latin Lover ' shares his memories of the visit of Paul VI to the Holy Land


(Vatican Radio) At the time of the Apostolic Visit of Paul VI to the Holy Land in January 1964 our popular 'Latin Lover', Carmelite Father Reginald Foster was a young seminarian studying in Rome. Veronica Scarisbrick asks him to share his memories of this historic moment.

Beyond sharing his memories including those relating to the welcome by torch light he and other Roman residents gave him upon his return to Rome Father Foster also translates excerpts from both his arrival and farewell addresses from English into Latin on the run.

In this programme you can also hear clips of those addresses in English  from our Vatican Radio sound archives.
