Vatican Radio CTV, bringing Rome to your home for JPII beatification

What has been described in Catholic circles as the ‘Big Weekend’ is now upon us. This Sunday the Venerable John Paul II will be proclaimed Blessed by his friend and successor to the Chair of St Peter, Benedict XVI. Rome’s army of council workers are labouring around the clock to ensure that everything will be all right on the night and the day after, with giant screens and loud speakers being hauled into place ahead of Saturday’s “White night of prayer” and Sunday’s Beatification Mass.

The Eternal City has been draped with banners depicting the ‘Pope from a far off country” who became more Roman than the Romans themselves and its streets and public buses carry posters with quotes from Poland’s favourite son. Rome is ready, so the question remains, where will you be for the Beatification? Wherever you maybe, you can experience it all first hand here, with Vatican Radio.
