He was a wonderful man, and although I only talked to him for few minutes, it was an amazing experience. I never thought meeting Him will be so touching.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Last week Vatican shared some news with the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Faithful attending the beatification of Pope John Paul in Rome will be able to pray before his coffin, which will be exhumed for the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Vatican warned the faithful around the world not to fall prey to fraudsters, particularly on the Internet, who are selling tickets to the beatification ceremony on May 1<sup>st<\/sup>. &#8220;For the beatification Mass of Pope John Paul II, as made clear from the outset, no tickets are required,&#8221; the Vatican said. It said people should also steer clear of tour operators promising to procure tickets as part of their packages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Italian authorities and Church officials say perhaps more than a million people may attend the mass at which John Paul, who died in 2005, will be declared a blessed of the Church and move one step closer to sainthood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The ceremony in St Peter&#8217;s Square, one of several over three days, will hark back to the funeral of the charismatic pope, which was one of the biggest media events of the new century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">John Paul&#8217;s wooden coffin will be exhumed from its current place in the crypts below St Peter&#8217;s Basilica.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After the beatification mass in the square it will be placed before the main altar inside the basilica. The closed coffin will remain there for viewing and veneration non-stop until everyone who wants to can see it, the Vatican said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The night before the beatification ceremony, a prayer vigil will be held at Rome&#8217;s massive Circus Maximus, the oval shaped field which was a racing track in ancient times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A mass of thanksgiving will be held in St Peter&#8217;s Square on May 2, the day after the beatification, and then his remains will be moved to their new resting place in a side chapel of St Peter&#8217;s Basilica.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To be beatified, a dead person must be declared by the Church to have prompted a miracle. The Church says a 49-year-old French nun was miraculously cured of Parkinson&#8217;s disease months after John Paul&#8217;s death after she and fellow nuns prayed to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For John Paul to become a saint, the Church must declare that a second miracle occurred after the beatification ceremony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Crowds at John Paul&#8217;s funeral on April 8, 2005 chanted &#8220;Santo subito!&#8221; (&#8220;Make him a saint right now!&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">During his 27-year pontificate, communism collapsed across Eastern Europe, starting in his native Poland. Tens of thousands of Poles are expected to come to Rome for the beatification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although these news are not directly from Poland, I thought I will share it with you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And to make it a little more Polish here are few words for you:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Pope \u2013 <strong>Papie<\/strong><strong>\u017c<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Faithful \u2013 <strong>wierz<\/strong><strong>\u0105cy, wierni<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amazing experience \u2013 <strong>wspania\u0142e prze\u017cycie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Touching \u2013 <strong>wzruszaj\u0105ce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Coffin \u2013 <strong>trumna<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To pray \u2013 <strong>modli\u0107 si\u0119<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Beatification \u2013<strong> beatyfikacja<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Saint\u2013 <strong>\u015awi\u0119ty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Funeral \u2013 <strong>pogrzeb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Miracle \u2013 <strong>cud<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Miraculously cured \u2013 <strong>cudem wyleczony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Chapel \u2013 <strong>\u015bwi\u0105tynia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Pontificate &#8211; <strong>pontyfikat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Do nast\u0119pnego razu<\/strong>!
