Sister Beatrice from the Daughters of Charity shows the bloody undershirt worn by Pope John Paul during the assassination attempt on May, 13, 1981, in Rome, Friday, April 29, 2011. Nuns from the Daughters of Charity have been holding onto the blood-stained shirt for years. On Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI will beatify John Paul in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. Beatification is the last major hurdle before being declared a saint, and John Paul is reaching the milestone in record time, a little over six years after his April 2, 2005 death. Benedict put him on the fast track for possible sainthood by waiving the typical five-year waiting period before beatification causes can begin.Pope Benedict XVI kneels in front of the coffin of the late Pope John Paul II inside St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican May 1, 2011.

"Siamo mendicanti e chiediamo agli altri anche le loro idee, come la staffetta della posta che riceve il documento dalle mani di uno e poi corre per darlo ad un altro. Faccio una timida parafrasi delle parole di chi ci ha preceduto nel cammino della fede, per annunciarle ad altri."
