St. John Paul the Great!
He was born Karol Wojtyla on May 20, 1920. He was ordained on November
1, 1946. He was elected pope on October 16, 1987. He went back home to God
on April 2, 2005. From the day of his funeral people were shouting “Santo
Subito”!!!! From November 8th, 2005 we felt his special presence here at St.
Stanislaus when we were gifted with one of his miters. From May 21, 2009 we
began having our monthly Mass with the intention of his beatification, then canonization. Now, it’s all done.
The thousands of prayer intentions placed at the base of the reliquary shrine
holding his miter (and soon to be holding a relic of his blood-stained cassock
form the 1981 assassination attempt) have been quietly placed at the foot of
our altar during each of our Third Thursday Masses. The handful of believers
who showed up at practically all of those Masses venerated his relic and prayed
for his intercession. Now he is officially recognized by the universal Church as a
saint! - the same man who back in 1969 offered Mass here at St. Stanislaus and
gifted us with the relic of his successor as Archbishop of Krakow, St. Stanislaus.
How appropriate that our Holy Father Francis designated this very day, the
feast of Divine Mercy, as the date of his canonization along with that of Pope
John XXIII. Writing this article I look forward with great anticipation to sharing the experience of the live broadcast
here on Sunday morning at 4 o’clock. What a glorious Easter season this is turning out for our people!! First Easter,
then the canonization, then the visit by one of our parishes closest friends, Cardinal Dziwisz on May 15th!!! The
months of April and May will shout God’s mercy and love for us in so many of these events as well as the numerous
recipients of the sacraments at our parish. This Easter season is a great time of festival almost to the point of overdose. Yet, after all the preparation and reflection we did during the season of Lent, we certainly deserve it. What we
prayed for we got….now what?
What effect will today’s canonization have on you personally? Will it make you re-examine the life and writings of
St. John Paul II? Will it make you kneel at the shrine and ask for his intercession? Will you add a written personal request? Will you study his life and try to emulate his actions to grow closer to Jesus through Mary?
It’s nice to know that a recognized saint actually walked among us, dined with us, prayed with us. Not many people
can say the same. An extraordinary man lived humbly, with numerous crosses, faults and virtues, and has now been
raised to sainthood. Each of us can certainly do the same—it is always within our reach. To become a saint you must
want to be like Christ. To become a saint you must be willing to endure hardship and crosses. To become a saint you
must be able to say NO to the culture of death and YES to the culture of life. All of this can happen with the help of
God, through the intercession of His saints, through the conscious rejection of evil.
Today we invite you to visit the shrine area and take home one of the special prayer cards available for this historical occasion. May the prayer on the back somehow increase your own faith, allow you to be open to God’s grace and
possibly usher you down the same path of sainthood. Not possible? If you think that, it will never happen. If you think
you can be a saint, then you are well on your way. There is no reason why anyone of us cannot join those ranks and
share that great honor.

…...from a pre-canonization news conference…..
Father Giovangiuseppe Califano, the postulator for John XXIII,
said as a 15 year old seminarian Angelo Roncalli was already
making resolutions that were intended to help him become a
saint for real. He said Pope John’s sainthood was characterized
by a deep humility and he was both a shepherd and a father.
Roncalli, he continued, opened new horizons to the Church by
convening the Second Vatican Council and was a capable communicator who by using simple every-day expressions succeeded in entering immediately into the hearts of people. Father Califano went on to explain how the words “obedience
and peace” were not just Roncalli’s episcopal motto but were
at the root of his sainthood as they characterized his life at the
service of the Church.
The postulator for Pope John Paul II’s cause, Monsignor Slawomir Oder, spoke at the briefing of how the friends of Karol
Wojtyla at university described him as a “future saint” because
they were so struck by his prayer habits and his reflections on
the value of life. He said John Paul’s profound mysticism encouraged him to personally live out the mystery of God in his
own life.
….the words of Blessed John Paul II on the occasion of
the beatification of now St. John XXIII
which took place on September 3, 2000:
"Today we contemplate in the Glory of the Lord another
Pontiff, John XXIII, the Pope who impressed the world
with the friendliness of his manner which radiated the
remarkable goodness of his soul.
Everyone remembers the image of Pope John's smiling
face and his outstretched arms embracing the whole
world. How many people were won over by his simplicity
of heart, combined with a broad experience of people and
things! The breath of newness he brought certainly did
not concern doctrine, but rather the way to explain it; his
style of speaking and acting was new, as was his friendly
approach to ordinary people and to the powerful of the
world.
It was in this spirit that he called the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, thereby turning a new page in the
Church's history: Christians heard themselves called to
proclaim the Gospel with renewed courage and greater
attentiveness to the "signs" of the times. The Council was
a truly prophetic insight of this elderly Pontiff who, even
amid many difficulties, opened a season of hope for Christians and for humanity.
In the last moments of his earthly life, he entrusted his
testament to the Church: "What counts the most in life is
blessed Jesus Christ, his holy Church, his Gospel, truth and
goodness". We too wish to receive this testament, as we
glorify God for having given him to us as a Pastor.
REMEMBER YOUR GIFT CARDS!
…words of Pope Benedict XVI on the occasion of the beatification of now St. John Paul II….
Dear brothers and sisters, today our eyes behold, in the full spiritual light of the risen Christ, the beloved and revered
figure of John Paul II. Today his name is added to the host of those whom he proclaimed saints and blesseds during the
almost twenty-seven years of his pontificate, thereby forcefully emphasizing the universal vocation to the heights of
the Christian life, to holiness, taught by the conciliar Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium. All of us, as members
of the people of God – bishops, priests, deacons, laity, men and women religious – are making our pilgrim way to the
heavenly homeland where the Virgin Mary has preceded us, associated as she was in a unique and perfect way to the
mystery of Christ and the Church. Karol Wojtyła took part in the Second Vatican Council, first as an auxiliary Bishop and
then as Archbishop of Kraków. He was fully aware that the Council’s decision to devote the last chapter of its Constitution on the Church to Mary meant that the Mother of the Redeemer is held up as an image and model of holiness for
every Christian and for the entire Church. This was the theological vision which Blessed John Paul II discovered as a
young man and subsequently maintained and deepened throughout his life. A vision which is expressed in the scriptural image of the crucified Christ with Mary, his Mother, at his side. This icon from the Gospel of John (19:25-27) was
taken up in the episcopal and later the papal coat-of-arms of Karol Wojtyła: a golden cross with the letter “M” on the
lower right and the motto “Totus tuus”, drawn from the well-known words of Saint Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort
in which Karol Wojtyła found a guiding light for his life: “Totus tuus ego sum et omnia mea tua sunt. Accipio te in mea
omnia. Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria – I belong entirely to you, and all that I have is yours. I take you for my all. O Mary,
give me your heart” (Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, 266).
Jan Paweł II i Jan XXIII: drogi do kanonizacji
Jako precedensowe określił ks. prałat Sławomir Oder decyzje papieża Franciszka dotyczące kanonizacji
błogosławionych papieży Jana XXIII i Jana Pawła II. Postulator procesu kanonizacyjnego papieża Polaka stwierdził w
rozmowie z Radiem Watykańskim, że decyzja dotycząca Jana XXIII jest czymś nadzwyczajnym w naszych czasach.
5 lipca br. papież Franciszek zgodził się na promulgowanie dekretu Kongregacji Spraw Kanonizacyjnych odnośnie do
cudu przypisywanego wstawiennictwu bł. Jana Pawła II i przychylił się również do zdania członków tej dykasterii, aby
dokonać kanonizacji Jana XXIII. Zdaniem ks. Odera "krok ten był zaskoczeniem, gdyż konieczny do kanonizacji cud za
wstawiennictwem Jana XXIII jak dotychczas nie został potwierdzony". Jednak dla ks. Odera papieska decyzja mieści się
całkowicie w ramach papieskich uprawnień.
"Każdy papież jest najwyższym sędzią i prawodawcą w Kościele, jest przedstawicielem Chrystusa na ziemi. Taka decyzja
mieści się zatem w jego kompetencjach. Na pewno nie była to łatwa decyzja. Jest to decyzja, która dotyczy ogłoszenia
świętym, proklamacją świętej osoby, papieża, który przekonuje swym poważaniem i nieomylnością. Nas może
zaskakiwać ten krok, jednak za nim stoi refleksja i modlitwa papieża, które doprowadziły go do tej decyzji. I ten sposób
decyzji może nieść z sobą duchowe owoce i przyczynić się dla dobra dusz" - powiedział ks. Oder.
Data konsystorza, na którym zostaną ogłoszone daty kanonizacji, została wyznaczona na 30 wrzesnia. Rzecznik
Watykanu ks. Federico Lombardi podkreślił, że decyzja Franciszka jest "deklaracją intencji" i jest sprawą otwartą
jeszcze czy papież uzależni decyzję o świętości papieża Jana XXIII od uznania cudu za jego wstawiennictwem, czy też
nie. Papież oddał hołd z okazji 50. rocznicy śmierci papieża Jana, która przypadła 3 czerwca br. "W tym ewangelicznym
posłuszeństwie tkwi istota jego świętości" - powiedział papież podczas uroczystości upamiętniającej śmierć papieża
Roncallego w bazylice św. Piotra. "Pięćdziesiąt lat po jego śmierci, mądre i ojcowskie kierownictwo papieża Jana i jego
umiłowanie tradycji Kościoła oraz świadomość stałej potrzeby jego nieustannego dostosowania się do aktualnych
potrzeb, prorocza intuicja zwołania Soboru Watykańskiego II i ofiarowanie swego życia za jego pomyślny wynik,
pozostają kamieniami milowymi w historii Kościoła XX wieku i jako jaśniejące światło na oczekującej nas drodze" powiedział Franciszek.
Zdaniem ks. Odera ewentualną wspólną kanonizację bł. Jana XXIII i bł Jana Pawła II należałoby odczytać w kontekście II
Soboru Watykańskiego. "Jest czymś oczywistym: Jan XXIII jest papieżem, który miał odwagę otwarcia Kościoła na
wydarzenie Soboru, papieżem, który całym swoim pontyfikatem wskazywał drogę i przyjmował ducha Soboru oraz
realizował go przez swój urząd" - zaznaczył ks. Oder.
Mówiąc o uznaniu cudu za wstawiennictwem bł. Jana Pawła II postulator jego procesu kanonizacyjnego powiedział, że
zdarzył on się w dniu beatyfikacji papieża Polaka na Kostaryce. "Młoda kobieta, która cierpiała na tętniaka mózgu,
modliła się o wstawiennictwo Jana Pawła II i włączyła się za pośrednictwem telewizji w modlitwę całego Kościoła za
niego. Pod koniec ceremonii beatyfikacji zasnęła i gdy się obudziła następnego dnia poczuła, że zanikły symptomy
choroby. Wewnętrzny głos powiedział jej: "Wstań, nie lękaj się, weź swe życie na nowo".
Jana Paweł II został beatyfikowany 1 Maja 2011 r. przez Benedykta XVI. Ks. Sławomir Oder wraził przekonanie, że na
kanonizację Jana Pawła II nie będziemy musieli długo czekać. DZISIAJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ks. Kloch: już św. Jan Paweł II będzie patronem Światowego Dnia Młodzieży w Krakowie
Już święty Jan Paweł II będzie patronem Światowego Dnia Młodzieży w Krakowie - powiedział ks. dr Józef Kloch,
rzecznik Episkopatu Polski, podczas spotkania z dziennikarzami po ogłoszeniu daty kanonizacji papieża-Polaka.
Kanonizacja będzie miała miejsce 27 kwietnia, w Niedzielę Miłosierdzia Bożego - ustanowiona przez Jana Pawła II.
Jednocześnie kanonizowany będzie papież Jan XXIII.
Ks. Kloch podkreślił, że data ogłoszona dziś podczas konsystorza przez papieża Franciszka, jest znamienna - Niedziela
Miłosierdzia Bożego, która przypada 27 kwietnia 2014 roku, została ustanowiona przez Jana Pawła II. On także wyniósł
na ołtarze św. s. Faustynę, Apostołkę Bożego Miłosierdzia.
O datę wiosenną prosili polscy biskupi - zwracając uwagę, że w grudniu polscy pielgrzymi mieliby bardzo trudne
warunki w drodze autokarami do Rzymu. Papież przyjął te argumenty. Od kanonizacji Jan Paweł II będzie oficjalnie
czczony na całym świecie - choć wiadomo, że był już od dawna przedmiotem kultu nie tylko w Polsce. Cud za jego
wstawiennictwem był "kropką nad i" - jak powiedział ks. Kloch.
Zmartwychwstał Chrystus, Alleluja! Spiewajcie Panu, Alleluja!
