Beatification Of John Paul II

Beatification Of John Paul II

Beatification Of John Paul II: What has been illustrated in Catholic circles as the ‘Big Weekend’ is now upon us. This Sunday the Respected John Paul II will be declared Blessed by his friend and successor to the Chair of St Peter, Benedict XVI. Rome’s army of council workers are working  around the clock to make sure that everything will be all right on the night and the day after, with giant screens and loud speakers being drag into place ahead of Saturday’s “White night of prayer” and Sunday’s Beatification Mass.

The Eternal City has been covered with banners representing the ‘Pope from a far off country” who became more Roman than the Romans themselves and its streets and public buses carry posters with references from Poland’s beloved son. Rome is ready, so the question is, where will you be for the Beatification? Anywhere, you can listen  it all first hand, with Vatican Radio.

The Vigil from Circus Maximus (20.00 hrs CET) with commentary in English will be broadcasted  live for radio listeners in the Rome and Lazio area on 105 FM. It will be streamed with full video and optional commentary on http://player.rv.va/vaticanplayer01.asp?language=en&visual=Tv.
