The final gallery of our permanent exhibit encourages visitors to live out the universal
call to
holiness by reflecting upon the lives of some of the saints beatified and canonized by St. John Paul II. |
Pope Francis recently announced that
Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified Baouardy, an Arab mystic who became a Carmelite
nun, will be canonized on May 17. Sister Mary was beatified by Saint John Paul II in
1983, nearly one hundred years after her death.
St. John Paul II beatified 1,338 people
during his papacy, and he often emphasized the truth that all people are called to be saints. Let us ask Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified,
whose incredible story can be found here,
to pray for us today, that we may all live out the call to holiness as she did.
