The Archbishop of Westminster says Catholics should be more ready to make the sign of the cross and say "God bess you" to people.
Vincent Nichols said believers had been given "new heart" by the Pope's four-day visit to Scotland and England.His pastoral letter will be read out in Westminster archdiocese this weekend.
Writing a week after the papal visit, Rev Nichols said: "With the blessings of this visit we can be more confident in our faith and more ready to speak about it and let it be seen each day.
"A small step we can all take is to be quicker to say to others that we will pray for them, especially to those in distress.
