Beatification of Pope John Paul II

After the Royal Wedding last Friday, today the whole world is watching the Beatification of Pope John Paul II. He is called the "people's pope".

Beatification is one step away from being recognized a saint. PJP II will now be called "Blessed". To be beatified, one miracle is required and this must be verified by the Vatican. Another miracle is required for sainthood.

This is my first time to watch a beatification. Goosebumps!
