Pope John Paul I's case for beatification had completed the diocesan phase gone moved the the Vatican phase. If the former Pope becomes beatified, he'll be a candidate for Sainthood! We've been blessed with many holy people, and the chuch is always identifying people's whose lives merit Sainthood. I've posted this prayer for the beatification of John Paul I.
"O Lord,
Be always near me. Rest your hand on my head,
but make me also hold my head under your hand.
"Take me as I am, with my defects, with my sins,
but transform me as you will and as I also desire."
"With these words your Servant Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I, prayed to you.
"His desire for holiness was heard: he became your generous and faithful disciple,
and you willed that he be your Shepherd and Vicar for the universal Church.
"He had the grace to be an exemplary communicator to give us, in simplicity and joy, what is true, beautiful and good,
"Make me aspire to what you desire, also in the particular graces I ask for:
"Following the example of the Servant of God, make me communicate intensely with you and with my neighbor to receive and to give, with humility and simplicity, the light and love that radiate from You. Amen."
