I have always been fond of the late Pope John Paul II and when I found this I just had to share the good news! I can't wait until May 1st!
"Pope Benedict XVI has today promulgated a decree recognising a miracle took place at the intercession of the Ven. John Paul II. The beatification ceremony will take place May 1st in Rome, presided by Benedict XVI.
The date, the Second Sunday of Easter, coincides with Divine Mercy Sunday - a Feast Day instituted by John Paul II. The late Pope died on the solemnity, on April 2, 2005.
The announcement of the beatification comes after five years of investigations into the life and works of the Polish Pontiff. " ~ National Catholic Register
This coming week I will be taking a trip to Washington D.C. for the March for Life with a group of other kids. (in case you are wondering why won't being blogging). I'll try to remeber to blog about it when I get home.
