The Vatican this morning has announced that Pope John Paul II will be beatified on May 1, 2011 (Divine Mercy Sunday) in a Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI.
Let us thank God for this wonderful pope who showed the world the care of a good shepherd.
I am thrilled that God has granted me the privilege to have seen at least two beatified persons during my lifetime (soon to be Blessed John Paul II and Blessed Mother Teresa).
John Paul II, pray for us.
