Glasgow, Scotland, Sep 10, 2012 \/ 05:28 pm (CNA<\/a>).- The new Archbishop of Glasgow used his inaugural homily to propose a vision for the re-evangelization of Scotland, which he said is rooted in a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cI think it is very important to stress that the proposal the Church makes to the world today is not an idea, or a plan or a policy, but a person,\u201d said Archbishop Philip Tartaglia during Mass at St. Andrew\u2019s Cathedral in Glasgow Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThat person is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe new archbishop says he believes \u201cthat this proposal remains exciting and endlessly relevant for the world in which we live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tWhen that proposition \u201cis made persuasively and well to people of good will,\u201d he added, \u201cthey often find that their minds are drawn to the truth of God and their hearts are touched by the love of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tA native of Glasgow, 61-year-old Archbishop Philip Tartaglia is the 40th successor of St. Mungo, the first bishop and founder of city in the 6th century.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cTo be the Successor of Mungo brings me to my knees in humble prayer and calls me anew to faith and to holiness,\u201d he told the packed congregation which included representatives from the Archdiocese of Glasgow\u2019s near 100 parishes.<\/p>\n

\tApproximately 16 percent of the Scotland\u2019s 5 million population is Catholic. The country has eight dioceses the most populous of which in terms of number of Catholics is Glasgow.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Tartaglia said he wanted the Catholic population of his new Archdiocese to \u201cbe filled with that commitment and that enthusiasm for Jesus and for his Gospel and to radiate the joy which comes with the inestimable treasure of knowing Our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tPrior to being appointed to his new post in Glasgow, Archbishop Tartaglia had been the bishop of the neighboring Diocese of Paisley since 2005. Before that he served as Rector of the Scots College in Rome.<\/p>\n

\tHe said the he wanted young people in particular \u201cto sense and grasp the beauty and the wonder of Jesus Christ\u201d and to \u201cdiscover with eagerness and joy the true faith, the sanctifying and transforming potential of the sacraments, the teaching and maternal care of the Church, mater et magistra.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tOverall, he desired that his Archdiocese \u201cembrace the new evangelization as the special challenge of our lifetime\u201d and to witness \u201cthe saving message of the love and mercy of God in Jesus Christ in all its fullness\u201d to each other and to \u201cthe wider community\u201d the majority of whom are not presently Catholic.<\/p>\n
