It could happen \u2014 most notably in the late pontiff\u2019s native Poland.<\/p>\n

The Vatican today released guidelines for observing the soon-to-be-Blessed\u2019s feast day \u2014 to be marked on October 22 \u2014 along with the collect for that feast day\u2019s mass, and other details: <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In the Diocese of Rome, where Pope John Paul served as bishop, and in all the dioceses of his native Poland, his feast day is to be inserted automatically into the annual calendar, the decree said. Oct. 22 was chosen as the day to remember him because it is the anniversary of the liturgical inauguration of his papacy in 1978.<\/p>\n

Outside Rome and Poland, bishops will have to file a formal request with the Vatican to receive permission to mark the feast day, the decree said. The local-only celebration of a blessed\u2019s feast is one of the most noticeable differences between being beatified and being canonized, which makes universal public liturgical veneration possible.<\/p>\n

The only places where parishes and churches can be named after Blessed John Paul without special Vatican permission are in the Diocese of Rome and the dioceses of Poland or other places that have obtained specific Vatican permission to insert Pope John Paul\u2019s Oct. 22 feast in their liturgical calendar, the decree said.<\/p>\n

The text of the opening prayer for the Mass in honor of Blessed John Paul is: \u201cO God, who are rich in mercy and who willed that the Blessed John Paul II should preside as pope over your universal church, grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching, we may open our hearts to the saving grace of Christ, the sole redeemer of mankind. Who lives and reigns.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
