Pope Benedict to canonize
six Blesseds next Sunday




Vatican City, Oct 14, 2010 (CNA/EWTN News) - This coming Sunday Pope Benedict XVI will raise six Catholics, all consecrated religious, to the ranks of sainthood.

The canonizations will take place in a ceremony presided over by the Holy Father in St. Peter's Square. In keeping with tradition, the facade of St. Peter's Basilica will be draped with gigantic banners featuring depictions of the new saints.

The six come from five nations. Polish Fr. Stanislaw Soltys of the Order of Canons Regular of the Lateran, Canadian Br. Andre Bessette of the Congregation of the Holy Cross and Italian Poor Clare Sr. Camilla Battista Varano are among them.

These three will be joined by three foundresses of religious orders: Spanish Sr. Candida Maria de Jesus Cipitria y Barriola of the Congregation of the Daughters of Jesus; Australian Sr. Mary of the Cross MacKillop of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart; and Italian Sr. Giulia Salzano of the Catechist Sisters of the Sacred Heart, will also be canonized.

On Oct. 17, after prayers, hymns and the reading of short texts written by the six, the Holy Father will preside over their Rite of Canonization.

The rite includes the reading of the official biographies of each, the recitation of prayers, the litany of the saints, and finally, the Pope pronouncing the formula of canonization, thereby declaring them saints.

Mass will follow the rite, with hundreds of cardinals, bishops and priests, representatives of the causes for canonization of each, and thousands of faithful in attendance.

A number of Australian flags were already present in St. Peter's Square during Wednesday's general audience, showing a formidable presence even from the distant island continent, which will receive its first saint.

Celebrations will be held on Sunday in Melbourne, the city of her birth, and also in Sydney. An outdoor Mass will be celebrated in the town of Penola, where she worked to educate poor young people and founded the religious congregation.

There is also great excitement for the canonization of Canada's Blessed Andre Bessette, a humble and compassionate brother of the Congregation of Holy Cross in Montreal. He was known for his strong devotion to St. Joseph, which he shared with many poor and sick people.





Medical experts have reportedly
confirmed JPII's 'beatification miracle'

Translated from the Spanish service of



October 14,2010 - John Paul II's beatification process is back on the fast track. Two external medical experts consulted by the Vatican have reportedly confirmed that there is no scientific explanation for the healing of French nun Marie Simon-Pierre of Parkinson's disease, after she prayed for the late Pope's intercession.

The nun, 44, had been afflicted with the disease since 2001. On June 2, 2005, she was suddenly cured of all its signs and symptoms.

John Paul II's cause for beatification now enters its final phase. The medical commission of the Congregation for the Causes of Sainthood will meet before December to officially declare Sister Marie's cure a medical miracle.

Then the cardinal and bishop members of the Congregation will verify that the certification took place properly. If it was, then they will ask Benedict XVI to officially declare a miracle.

[The above omits a very important step before this. The miracle now has to be certified by the Congregation's theological commission.]

It is now thought possible that Benedict XVI's proclamation of a miracle will take place by spring of 2011, so that the beatification itself may take place in October 2011, on the 33rd anniversary of Karol Wojtyla's election as Pope.
