Singapore’s president meets Pope Francis ahead of September visitKnown as"the Man of the Eight Beatitudes," he was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1990 after his sainthood cause was launched in 1932. The Polish pope had said the young blessed, who died at the age of 24 in 1925, had served as"a beneficial influence" on him during his youth in Poland and that as a student he"was impressed by the force of his Christian testimony.
"Think of how much richness of lived faith, of concrete charity, of love for the poor that can be passed down by an elder person's example. And think of how much energy, how much creativity, how much impetus a young person can give," he said. While the pope did not offer a date or any other details about the expected canonization, he reinforced recent remarks by Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
