The news was expected and now it is official and has been given to the Church and the world: Karol Wojtyla will be beatified on May 1, 2011. After the promulgation of decree that a miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul II, the director of the Vatican press office, Father Federico Lombardi, said that the rite of beatification will take place May 1, Sunday of Divine Mercy. Presiding over the ceremony of beatification Benedict XVI himself. only six years have passed since the death of John Paul II was born on 2 April 2005. Benedict XVI has departed from the canonical norms which provide for the wait of five years after his death before starting the canonical process of beatification and May 13, 2005, at the Cathedral of St. John, the Pope announced his decision to allow the opening immediate cause of the rectory to John Paul II. A waived for the first Once this rule, allowing for the immediate start of the canonical process for Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who died in 1997 and was beatified in 2003 it was John Polo II.
The Congregation for the Causes of Saints, in a press statement, said, "were observed in full canonical provisions regarding the common causes of beatification and canonization ... The legal validity of the canonical process was recognized by the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints Decree of 4 May 2007 ... On December 19, 2009The Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI authorized the promulgation of the decree of heroic virtue ... The doctors of the Medical Council of the Department expressed themselves in favor dell'inspiegabilità ... science of healing [from "PD" of Sister Marie Simon Pierre Normand]. Clinics theologians, December 14, 2010 ... acknowledged the uniqueness, the antecedent and the choral invocation addressed to the Servant of God John Paul II, whose intercession was effective for the miraculous healing ... On 11 January 2011 [ the Cardinals and Bishops] of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued a unanimous ruling ... so, considering the miraculous cure of Sister Marie Simon Pierre, as made by God with a scientifically inexplicable, as a result of the intercession of Pope John ... Paul II. "
Benedict XVI Success of the Blessed Peter has spoken in favor of life lived in the light of the evangelical counsels of his predecessor. Therefore, I would say that the debates and discourses on whether to quickly for the canonization must yield to the decision of the Church that has no doubt of the heroic virtues and holiness of the life of John Pole II. Several times
Pope Benedict has spoken publicly about the life of God lived in the Polish Pope leaving no doubt about his spiritual heritage: "It was enough to see it when he prayed: literally immersed himself in God and it seemed like everything else in those moments was the stranger." For Benedict XVI, John Paul II "entertained an intimate conversation, singular of continuity "with God, nourished by so many human qualities and" supernatural. "
In all probability the remains of Blessed John Paul II will be translated by the Vatican Grottos, where they are now, at the chapel of San Sebastian, at the right of the nave of the Vatican Basilica of the Pietà by Michelangelo and the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. It 'still studying the construction of the tomb, it seems that no one can assure you if it will be a stone monument, without exposure of the body, or a display case in which the body will be exposed with his face covered by a light mask Protection, made in a wax replica of the true features of John Paul II, as it did for John XXIII.
