Pope Francis signs canonization decrees for John XXIII and John Paul II

 

(Vatican Radio) Journalists in the Holy See Press Office busy getting to grips with Pope Francis’ first encyclical the Light of Faith, were somewhat surprised Friday lunchtime when Director Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. called them back for a second announcement: Pope Francis had approved the cause for canonization of two of his venerable and much loved predecessors Blessed John XXIII and Blessed Pope John Paul II. Emer McCarthy reports:  

 

Meeting with Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Cause of Saints, Friday morning, Pope Francis approved the promulgation of the decree and also convoked a special Consistory of the College of Cardinals to discuss the canonization of the Polish pope in depth.

Furthermore, he approved the favorable votes of the Ordinary Session of the Congregations Cardinals and Bishops regarding the raising to the altars of sainthood of Blessed John XXII.
This slightly unusual gesture was explained by Fr. Lombardi who told journalists that despite the absence of a second miracle it was the Pope’s will that the Sainthood of the great Pope of the Second Vatican Council be recognized.

Fr. Lombardi stated that a canonization without a second miracle is still valid, given that there is already the existing miracle that lead to the Roncalli Pope’s beatification. He also pointed to ongoing discussions among theologians and experts about whether it is necessary to have two distinct miracles for beatification and canonization. Certainly, he added the Pope has the power to dispense, in a Cause, with the second miracle.

However, there was no mention of dates. Neither for the Consistory nor for the Canonizations. Fr. Lombardi did not rule out that both celebrations could coincide, and he did express his belief that they would take place by the end of the year. Either way any date would be established during the Consistory.

Canonization date for John Paul II, John XXIII to be known in September

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Francis will host a meeting of cardinals Sept. 30 to formally approve the canonization of Blesseds John Paul II and John XXIII; the date for the canonization will be announced at that time, said Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes.

The cardinal told Vatican Radio Aug. 20 that only Pope Francis knows for sure the date he will proclaim the two popes saints, although he already implied that it is likely to be in 2014.

Speaking to reporters traveling with him from Brazil to Rome July 28, Pope Francis said he had been considering Dec. 8, but the possibility of icy roads could make it difficult for Polish pilgrims who would travel by bus to Rome for the ceremony.

Another option, he said, would be April 27, which is the Sunday after Easter and the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday, a celebration instituted worldwide by Pope John Paul.

Asked to describe the two late popes, Pope Francis said Blessed John was "a bit of the 'country priest,' a priest who loves each of the faithful and knows how to care for them; he did this as a bishop and as a nuncio."

He was holy, patient, had a good sense of humor and, especially by calling the Second Vatican Council, was a man of courage, Pope Francis said. "He was a man who let himself be guided by the Lord."

As for Blessed John Paul, he told the reporters on the plane, "I think of him as 'the great missionary of the church," because he was "a man who proclaimed the Gospel everywhere."

Pope Francis signed a decree recognizing the miracle needed for Blessed John Paul's canonization July 5; the same day, the Vatican announced that the pope had agreed with the cardinal members of the Congregation for Saints' Causes that the canonization of Blessed John should go forward even without a second miracle attributed to his intercession.

Before declaring new saints, the pope consults with cardinals around the world and calls a consistory -- a gathering attended by any cardinal who wants and is able to attend -- where those present voice their support for the pope's decision. A date for a canonization ceremony is announced formally only during or immediately after the consistory.

Except in the case of martyrdom, Vatican rules require one miracle for a candidate's beatification and a second for his or her canonization as confirmations that the candidate really is in heaven with God.

Pope to canonize Blessed John XXIII, John Paul II April 27

Catholic News Service

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Recognizing that Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II have widespread reputations for holiness and that years of studying their lives and actions have proven their exceptional virtue, Pope Francis announced he would declare his two predecessors saints at a single ceremony April 27.

The pope made the announcement Sept. 30 at the end of an "ordinary public consistory," a gathering of cardinals and promoters of the sainthood causes of the two late popes. The consistory took place in the context of a prayer service in Latin and included the reading of brief biographies of the two sainthood candidates.

Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, read the biographies and highlighted the "service to peace" and the impact both popes had "inside and outside the Christian community" at times of great cultural, political and religious transformation.

The testimonies of their lives, "completely dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel, shine in the church and reverberate in the history of the world as examples of hope and light," the cardinal said.

Blessed John Paul, known as a globetrotter who made 104 trips outside Italy, served as pope from 1978 to 2005 and was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on Divine Mercy Sunday, May 1, 2011. Blessed John XXIII, known particularly for convoking the Second Vatican Council, was pope from 1958 to 1963; Blessed John Paul beatified him in 2000.

Asked by reporters if retired Pope Benedict would participate in the canonization ceremony, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, told reporters it was possible, but given the retired pope's preference for staying out of the public eye, he could not say for sure.

The choice of April 27, which will be Divine Mercy Sunday in 2014, was not a complete surprise. Speaking to reporters traveling with him from Brazil to Rome July 28, Pope Francis said he had been considering Dec. 8, but the possibility of icy roads could make it difficult for Polish pilgrims who would travel by bus to Rome for the ceremony.

The other option, he said, was Divine Mercy Sunday, a celebration instituted worldwide by Pope John Paul. Since the beginning of his pontificate in March, Pope Francis has emphasized God's mercy and readiness to forgive those who recognize their need for pardon. He told reporters on the flight from Brazil that Pope John Paul's promotion of Divine Mercy Sunday showed his intuition that a new "age of mercy" was needed in the church and the world.

Asked on the plane to describe the two late popes, Pope Francis said Blessed John was "a bit of the 'country priest,' a priest who loves each of the faithful and knows how to care for them; he did this as a bishop and as a nuncio."

He was holy, patient, had a good sense of humor and, especially by calling the Second Vatican Council, was a man of courage, Pope Francis said. "He was a man who let himself be guided by the Lord."

As for Blessed John Paul, Pope Francis told the reporters on the plane, "I think of him as 'the great missionary of the church," because he was "a man who proclaimed the Gospel everywhere."

Pope Francis signed a decree recognizing the miracle needed for Blessed John Paul's canonization July 5; the same day, the Vatican announced that the pope had agreed with members of the Congregation for Saints' Causes that the canonization of Blessed John should go forward even without a second miracle attributed to his intercession.

Except in the case of martyrdom, Vatican rules require one miracle for a candidate's beatification and a second for his or her canonization as confirmations that the candidate really is in heaven with God. However, the pope may set aside the rule.

Sobriety is the order of the day for John Paul II and John XXIII’s double canonization

 

John Paul II and John XXIII

The Vatican Press Office has published the details regarding the preparations for the canonisations of Blesseds John XXIII and John Paul II, to be celebrated on 27 April. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to be present

A simple prayer vigil in various churches across Rome the night before the big day, hundreds of thousands of faithful and the possible - though as yet uncertain – presence of the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. This is what the Vatican has in store for the double canonization ceremony that will make John XXIII and John Paul II saints this coming 27 April in St. Peter’s Square. The diocese of Bergamo (Angelo Roncalli’s home diocese), has earmarked three charity funds for the occasion, with generous direct contributions from priests.

“Canonizations are a gift from God, which the Lord gives to us, presenting two men of faith as models of Christian life,” Cardinal Agostino Vallini, vicar of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome, said at a press conference  in the Vatican today. “So let us seek to follow this path, the path towards a deeper spirituality. This, I would say, is the spirit in which we should prepare for this event.” Mgr. Walter Insero, head of the Office for Social Communications for the Vicariate of Rome explained that the double canonization ceremony will be preceded by two events. At 8:30 pm on Tuesday 22 April there will be a youth meeting in the Basilica of St. John the Lateran. The meeting which will be mostly attended by young people from Rome, will be presided by Cardinal Agostino Vallini and speeches will be given by the postulators of the two causes, Mgr. Slavomir Oder (Postulator of the Cause for John Paul II) and General Postulator Fr. Giovangiuseppe Califano (Postulator of the Cause for John XXIII). This will be followed by a catechesis preached by Fr. Fabio Rosini, director of the Vicariate of Rome’s vocations office.

Unlike the prayer vigil held the day before Wojtyla’s beatification in 2011 at Rome’s Circus Maximus, this time, sobriety is the order of the day. On Saturday 26 April, the day before the canonization ceremony, there will be a “white night of prayer” starting at 9 pm, when churches across Rome will be open for people to go and pray and confess. Readings from Biblical texts and excerpts from various texts written by the two Popes’ are expected. Eleven churches will also hold liturgical celebrations in a number of languages. Various social media accounts are being launched ahead of the big day, above all to get the young involved: www.2papisanti.org will be available in various languages and Twitter users will also have access to a Twitter account created specially for the event: @2popesaints. But there will also be YouTube and Facebook coverage of the canonizations. In the coming days, the “Santo Subito” app – dedicated to John Paul II – will be available for Android and IOS.

Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi also gave information on some events that have been planned for the canonizations on 27 April. These too are of a sober nature. Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated as it was on 1 May 2011, the day of Wojtyla’s beatification. Pope Francis will preside a mass starting at 10 am in St. Peter’s Square. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be recited and texts by the two Popes read. There will be about a thousand concelebrating bishops and cardinals present, at least seven hundred priests, who will administer communion in St. Peter’s Square and hundreds of deacons along Via della Conciliazione.

The director of the Holy See Press Office said the tapestries used during the canonizations will be the same ones used for the beatifications. The same relic used as John Paul II’s beatification will be used now for his canonization and an identical one will be made for John XXIII. There was no relic at John XXIII’s beatification ceremony because his body had not yet been exhumed. The two women who were miraculously healed by John Paul II will be present at the celebration, while Francis has exempted John XXIII from a second miracle.

After the mass, faithful will be able to venerate the tombs of the two new saints, which will now carry the inscription “saint” instead of “blessed”. This will be a ticketless ceremony, Fr. Lobardi informed. “Anyone can turn up and attend but no tickets will be presold. Don’t ask for them at the prefecture because there won’t be any,” he said.

As far as the possibility of the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI attending the ceremony on 27 April, “naturally anticipation is high. He will naturally be invited, but there is still a month to go. We will have to wait and see if he feels up to it and if he wishes to be present at such a big event. The possibility is there but nothing is certain,” Fr. Lombardi said.

이번 항에서는, 요한 바오로 2세 교황님의 영성(spirituality)에 대하여 함께 고찰하도록 하겠습니다.

3-1.

(i) 2005년 가해 부활 팔일축제 내 토요일인 4월 2일 밤 9시 37분 선종하셨고(<--- 클릭하여 확인하십시오) (따라서, 가톨릭 교회의 전례력에 있어 하느님 자비 주일인 부활 제2주일에 선종하셨음),

(ii) 선종 후 시복을 위한 최소 기간인 5년 경과 후 첫 번째 해인 2011년 가해의 부활 제2주일 하느님 자비 주일인 4월 1일에 시복되셨던 요한 바오로 2세 교황님이,

(iii) 시복후 만3년뒤인 2014년 가해 올해의 부활 제2주일 하느님 자비 주일인 4월 27일에, 요한 23세 교황님과 함께, 시성되신다고 합니다.

특히 살아계시는 동안에 이미 "성인(Saint)"이셨던, 그리고 가톨릭 교회의 역사에 있어 장차 네 번째 대 교황(Pope the Great)으로 불리실 것이 거의 확실한, 존경하옵는 복자 요한 바오로 2세 교황님의 시성을 진심으로 축하드립니다.

3-2. 요한 바오로 2세 교황님의 영성과 관련하여,

(i) 성녀 파우스티나(St. Faustina Kowalska, 1905-1938년)의 시성일이 대희년 2000년 4월 30일 부활 제2주일이었고 그리고,

(ii) 바로 이 날에, 매년 부활 제2주일을 하느님 자비 주일로 선포하셨던 분이 요한 바오로 2세 교황님이셨음을 기억할 때에,

(iii) 이번의 두 분의 교황님들의 시성 일자가 올해의 하느님 자비 주일로 선포된 데에는,

죄인들의 구원을 위하여 성자 하느님이신 예수 그리스도께서 아낌없이 베푸시는 하느님 자비와 직결된 깊은 영성적 의미가 있다는 생각을 하게 됩니다.

3-3. 다음의 주소에 접속하면, 2007년 가해 부활 제2주일 하느님 자비 주일인 4월 15일에 올려드렸던 글[제목: 부활 제 2주일(하느님 자비 주일) 파 다데오 신부님 강론말씀 외]을 읽을 수 있습니다:
