Wadowice is a tiny town 31 miles southwest of Krakow, Poland. Here on May 18, 100 years ago, the future Pope John Paul II, Karol Jozef Wojty\u0142a, was born; here he was baptized, served as an altar boy, and was confirmed. As St. John Paul II said himself during his visit to Wadowice in 1999: \u201c…here in this town, Wadowice, everything started.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again this place drew international attention on May 7, the vigil of St. Stanislaus\u2019 feast and just 11 days before the late Pope\u2019s 100th birthday, when the beatification process of Emilia and Karol Wojty\u0142a, St.John Paul II\u2019s parents, was officially inaugurated in the Papal Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Cardinal Stanis\u0142aw Dziwisz, Archbishop Emeritus of Krakow and even more well known as Karol Wojtyla\u2019s personal secretary for more than 40 years, in his request to the present archbishop, Marek J\u0119draszewski, to open the Wojtylas\u2019 cause, said: \u201cI would like here in this place to testify, in the presence of the Archbishop and gathered priests, that in my many years as standing secretary to Cardinal Karol Wojty\u0142a and Pope John Paul II, I heard many times from him that he had saintly, holy parents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

First announced publicly in 2018, the initiative to start the Wojty\u0142as\u2019 beatification process came from the faithful not only in Poland but worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now a long study of their lives, any writings, and the testimony of witnesses has begun. A significant and unique witness will be John Paul II himself; he left a record of several memories, especially of his father. The cause will confirm not only his huge respect for his parents but also that they lived their Christian lives in a heroic way\u2014which helped form the young future Pope in the Christian faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSt. John Paul II was a man of a deep interior life,\u201d said Cardinal Dziwisz. \u201cWhat was dearest he kept in his heart and presented it to God. His relationship with his parents he didn\u2019t display, but he always had with him small portraits of his father and mother. He did so also in the Vatican, where he placed their portraits on his desk. It was so until the very end. He was hearkening back to his experience of home when he spoke about the importance of our parents in our lives…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A second step in the process will be to obtain a miracle due to their intercession. In his address, Cardinal Dziwisz related that the day before, one parish priest told him that already in his parish one girl was healed in an inexplicable way, thanks to prayers to the Polish Pope\u2019s parents. Maybe this miracle will be the one which opens a path to their beatification soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The public session began with the hymn to the Holy Spirit, Veni Creator, and the prayer to the Holy Spirit which Karol Wojty\u0142a, Sr., taught his sons when he noticed young Karol\u2019s attention waning at Mass. Later, John Paul II confessed that he remained faithful to this prayer his whole life. Msgr. S\u0142awomir Oder, the postulator of St. John Paul II\u2019s canonization cause, and president of the Court of Appeal of the Vicariate of Rome was chosen as a postulator of the Wojtylas\u2019cause; he could not be present inWadowice, however, because of the epidemic. Cardinal Dziwisz asked the members to \u201cwork fast, but not half-heartedly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pope\u2019s secretary wished that John Paul II\u2019s parents might become in the future patrons of the family. \u201cIn today\u2019s reality, dominated by loneliness, the uncertainty of tomorrow, but also by the seeking of the meaning of life, Karol and Emilia Wojty\u0142a become witnesses of everlasting values, among which, in the first place, there is the family. I am deeply convinced that they can become an example and patrons of modern families, especially now when families need\u2014in the context of ideologies rebelling against the need for and appreciation of marriage and family\u2014an authentic example of marriage and family life. \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anna Artymiak: What type of beatification cause is the cause of John Paul II\u2019s parents?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"MSGR. SLAWOMIR ODER: It is not quite a historical cause. When it comes to a historical cause, as it was defined in 1930 by Pius XI, it is a process in which there are no contemporary eyewitnesses of the candidate, but only written depositions. In this case, there are still a few eyewitnesses alive who personally met at least John Paul II\u2019s father, Karol Wojtyla, Sr.; his mother Emilia died in 1929. It will be necessary, if possible, to prove heroicity of virtues based on the facts present in people\u2019s memories and of course also on the documentation we have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it your goal now to shine light on the Wojtylas\u2019sanctity, to bring their own holiness into view, out from the shadow of their canonized son, St. John Paul II?<\/b><\/p>\n

As Pope Francis has said about \u201cthe saints next door,\u201d the holiness of John Paul\u2019s parents was a kind of holiness that is realized in ordinary life. Pope John Paul II used to say that holiness is a high standard but it is also the remarkable characteristic of an ordinary Christian life. When we speak about saints, we don\u2019t say that they did something extraordinary, moved mountains, saved the world from disaster. The Catechism of the Catholic Church published by John Paul II indicates love as the soul of holiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if we think about holiness, we think about the spirit, the measure of one\u2019s love of God and of others, fulfilled in daily, ordinary life… We know that John Paul\u2019s parents faced challenges that were not easy, both economic and concerning their health. It wasn\u2019t a wealthy family. There were serious health problems. His mother, Emilia, died young after years of sickness…<\/span><\/p>\n

Are the Wojtylas the first Polish married couple whose causes of beatification were started together? Are their causes the first causes of parents of a successor of Peter?<\/b><\/p>\n

As far as I know, yes on both counts. In practice, it is not actually one common cause, but two separate causes, one for Emilia, the other for Karol; there are two tribunals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming back to John Paul II, it was his inspiration. From the very beginning of his priestly life, he, who had been able only briefly to savor the joy of his own family of origin because he lost his mother early, then soon after his brother and father, sought to create the atmosphere of a family around himself. As a young priest, he took care of young people. He guided many in their engagements, he accompanied them in their marriages and he was bound to them throughout his whole life\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under John Paul II\u2019s pontificate, he stressed the universal call to holiness. Just to remind you, he beatified and canonized more people than all his predecessors since St. Peter. It is what the Church is about. The Church must sanctify her members.<\/span><\/p>\n

So John Paul II himself will play a special role in their causes, as a witness to the holiness of his own parents?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes. The Holy Father of course alluded to his family, the atmosphere in his family home, when he spoke about the roots of his own religious devotion, his vocation, the examples of Christian life or prayer that moved him\u2026 The Holy Father did say that he hardly remembered his mother. He had only dim memories of her. Nevertheless, he recalled that his mother\u2019s desire was that one of her two sons would be a doctor, and the other, a priest. This wish came true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you still receive testimonies concerning St. John Paul II himself?<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, I do. I must say that the correspondence is still very lively, even 15 years after his death. Still, now there come to my office testimonies of received graces, or letters addressed directly to John Paul II. We don\u2019t open those; we lay them on John Paul II\u2019s tomb…<\/span><\/p>\n
