This past April 2 marked the sixth anniversary of the death of our beloved Holy Father, the great Pope John Paul II. People at his funeral Mass at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican shouted in Italian, “Santo subito,” which means, may he become a saint quickly. Soon there were reports of miracles attributed to Pope John Paul II, and his beatification will take place on May 1, Divine Mercy Sunday. We pray that this will be just an interim step on the way to his canonization as a saint.
