Dear All,
In the last ten centuries of Church history no Pope has beatified his predecessor. From the beginning of Pope Benedict's pontificate it has been clear that he has longed for this day. On April 3, 2011 at another Angelus, he told the faithful who had gathered "I remember him in prayer with affection as I think of you all. While we journey through Lent and prepare for the feast ofEaster, we come with joy to the day when we will also venerate as a saint this great pope and witness of Christ, and rely even more on his intercession."

God bless,
Tony
