VATICAN CITY, 14 FEB 2008 (VIS) - The Holy See Press Office released the following communique yesterday evening:
“This evening in the cathedral of Coimbra, Portugal, Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins C.M.F., president of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, presided at a Mass marking the third anniversary of the death of Sister Lucia dos Santos. Following the ceremony he announced that the Holy Father Benedict XVI, benevolently accepting a request presented by Bishop Albino Mamede Cleto of Coimbra and shared by many bishops and faithful throughout the world, has waived the five-year waiting period established by canonical norms (art. 9 of “Normae servandae”) and granted that, just three years after the death of Sister Lucia (known to the world as one of the three seers of Fatima), the diocesan stage of the cause for her beatification may begin”.
What wonderful news received from Coimbra yesterday (13th of Feb) on the 3rd anniversary of Sr Lucia’s death.
I am so moved! I am at present praying for the beatification of John Paul II. Now I can begin praying for the beatification of Sr Lucia!!
Her beatification process is to open on Dec 17th. The Holy Father has waiverd the 5 year wait in recognition of the worldwide reports of her outstanding holiness of life.
