Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.~Pope John Paul II
Ave Maria! Last night I wasn't sure I'd be able to get to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about and rejoicing in the wonderful news reported yesterday by Vatican analyst Andrea Tornielli that cardinals and bishops from the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints had convened and "examined and approved the miracle attributed to the intercession of John Paul II.” Now all that is needed for his beatification is Pope Benedict XVI’s approval of the congregation’s findings. Read more here.
There are no words to describe how thrilled and happy I am. And I am not alone. Catholics and non-Catholics alike throughout the world are exulting. Meanwhile, Satan and his minions are undoubtedly fuming furiously and busily inciting all possible mudslingers to join them. That's what always happens whenever goodness and truth, beauty and holiness prevail. Pope John Paul II knew well the full force of evil, and he met it head-on with the power of "prayer joined to sacrifice," which is simply and magnificently the power of our Lord Jesus Christ united to the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift! ~2 Cor 9:15
