Prayer for the Intercession of Pope John Paul Ii

O Holy Trinity,

we thank you for having given to the Church,

Pope John Paul II,

and for having made him shine with your fatherly tenderness,

the glory of the Cross of Christ

and the splendor of the Spirit of love

He, trusting completely in your infinite mercy

and in the maternal intercession of Mary,

has shown himself in the likeness of Jesus the Good Shepherd

and has pointed out to us holiness

as the path to reach eternal communion with You.

Grant us, through his intercession,

according to your will,

the grace that we implore,

in the hope that he will soon be numbered among your saints.

Amen
