During his annual Lenten meeting with the priests of Rome last week, Pope Francis confirmed that Blessed Pope Paul VI will be made a saint sometime this year.
"Paul VI will be a saint this year," the Pope said Feb. 15, at the end of a long question and answer session with priests of Rome. The text of the private meeting was published by the Vatican Feb. 17.

During the meeting, Francis gave lengthy answers to four questions from priests. Afterward, texts containing meditations by Pope Paul VI, a gift from the Pope, were handed out to each of the priests. “I saw it and I loved it,” Francis said about the book.
“There are two [recent] Bishops of Rome already saints,” he continued, referring to St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II, who were canonized together in April 2014.
Besides Blessed Pope Paul VI, he noted that John Paul I's cause for beatification is also ongoing. "And Benedict and I," he added, are "on the waiting list: pray for us!"
According to Vatican Insider, Feb. 6 the Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the second miracle needed for the canonization of Bl. Pope Paul VI by a unanimous vote.
The next step is for Pope Francis to also give his approval, with an official decree from the Vatican. Then the date for the canonization can be set. The canonization could take place in October of this year, during the Synod of Bishops on the youth, Vatican Insider reported.

The miracle attributed to the cause of Paul VI is the healing of an unborn child in the fifth month of pregnancy. The case was brought forward in 2014 for study.
The mother, originally from the province of Verona, Italy, had an illness that risked her own life and the life of her unborn child, and was advised to have an abortion.
A few days after the beatification of Paul VI on Oct. 19, 2014, she went to pray to him at the Shrine of Holy Mary of Grace in the town of Brescia. The baby girl was later born in good health, and remains in good health today.
The healing was first ruled as medically inexplicable by the medical council of the congregation last year, while the congregation's consulting theologians agreed that the healing occurred through the late pope's intercession.

The Catholic Church has two sainted popes (Pius V and Pope Pius X) in the last like 650 years of spreading the Faith all over the world.

The Vatican II religion will soon have three in 55 years of destroying the Faith all over the world.

God could not be more clear in His warnings.

Those that have eyes to see, let them see.

The Vatican has approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of Archbishop Oscar Romero, and the Salvadoran prelate, who was killed in 1980, will be beatified later this year. The date for the ceremony has not yet been set.
In a series of decrees issued on March 7, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints also confirmed that a miracle attributed to Pope Paul VI had been approved, and the Pope who died in 1978 will also be canonized later this year—reportedly in October, at the close of the Synod of Bishops.
The Congregation announced approval of miracles attributed to three others who are now eligible for canonization:
  • Blessed Francesco Spinelli (1853—1913), an Italian priest;
  • Blessed Vincenzo Romani (1751—1831), an Italian priest; and
  • Blessed Maria Catherine Kasper (1820—1898), a German religious.
Also approved were:
  • miracle through the intercession of Ven. Maria Felicia Jesus (1925—1959) born Maria Guggiari Echeverria, a religious of Paraguay, who is now eligible for beatification; and
  • a decree proclaiming the martyrdom of Anna Kolesarova (1928—1944), a Slovakian lay woman, who also is eligible for beatification.
Finally the Congregation certified the “heroic virtue” of the following, who will now be eligible for beatification if a miracle is attributed to their intercession:
  • Bernard Lubienski (1846—1933), a Polish priest;
  • Cecilio Maria Cortinovis (1885—1984), born Antonio Pietro, an Italian religious;
  • Giustina Schiapparoli (1819—1877), an Italian religious;
  • Maria Schiapparoli (1815—1882), an Italian religious;
  • Maria Antonella Bordoni (1916—1978), an Italian lay woman; and
  • Alessandra Sabatini (1961—1984), an Italian lay man.

These few remaining days before Easter are the most sacred time of every year. I began writing this column to explain what the word “holy” in Holy Week means. But actions often speak and teach more loudly than words.
On Friday, March 23, an Islamist gunman in southern France attacked a supermarket. A jihadist loyal to ISIS, he murdered a worker and customer, and wounded many others. In the subsequent standoff with police, a gendarme lieutenant colonel — Arnaud Beltrame — exchanged himself for a female hostage. Several hours later, the gunman shot Beltrame in the throat and was then cut down himself by police gunfire. Beltrame died early Saturday morning in a Carcassone hospital. And therein lies a story.
Beltrame and his wife, Marielle, were already civilly married when they toured a local French Augustinian monastery in 2016. While there, they met and befriended a priest. Over the coming two years, the priest — a Father Jean-Baptiste — helped Arnaud and Marielle through dozens of conversations and many hours of marriage preparation to ready themselves for a Catholic wedding. Beltrame even walked the Camino Real pilgrim road in Spain with his father, who died only recently.
In fact, according to early press reports, the gendarme officer attended his father’s funeral exactly one week before he himself was fatally shot.

This could be a new saint on the calendar.
