Pope Francis made an exciting announcement in his 2014 World
Youth Day message:
We have seen, then, that the Beatitude of
the poor in spirit shapes our relationship with God, with material goods and
with the poor. With the example and words of Jesus before us, we realize how
much we need to be converted, so that the logic of being more will prevail over
that of having more! The saints can best help us to understand the profound
meaning of the Beatitudes. So the canonization of John Paul II, to be
celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter, will be an event marked by immense
joy. He will be the great patron of the World Youth Days which he inaugurated
and always supported. In the communion of saints he will continue to be a
father and friend to all of you.
Our beloved Blessed John Paul II will be the patron saint of
World Youth Days! This is just one more reason to look forward to his
canonization on Divine Mercy Sunday. If you haven’t already, check out the
Blessed John Paul II Shrine’s schedule for the
canonization weekend.
Blessed John Paul II, Pray for Us!
